John Proctor presents what he calls a "testament" to Justice Danforth, saying "the people signing it declare their good opinion of Rebecca and my wife, and Martha Corey." He then says the people who signed it are landowners and church goers. Reverend Parris says everyone on the list should be summoned for questioning, saying it is "a clear attack upon the court." The Reverend Hale, who has been growing increasingly distressed by the courtroom proceedings, responds to this (the stage direction says "trying to contain himself") to ask Parris if every defense must be seen as an attack upon the court.
Justice Danforth then orders Cheever to have warrants drawn up for all 91 people who signed the testament, "arrests for examination." Mister Nurse, who, with John Proctor, decided to get the villagers to sign their names to show their support, is horrified that he may have put them in danger. Danforth assures him all will be well "if they are of good conscience," but that he must understand: "that a person is either with this court or he must be counted against it; there be no road between."
This scene is one of many in the play that shows a clear parallel to the McCarthy hearings and the activities of McCarthy's operatives as they attempted to ferret out Communists. Guilt by association, that is, the assumption that anyone who supports people who are wrongly accused must be in league with the accused, or in this case, those wrongly accused of being Communists must somehow be sympathizers or even Communists themselves, was a common tactic used by McCarthy. It is clearly the dominant theme here, as the supporters of Martha Corey, Rebecca Nurse and Elizabeth Proctor are all to be arrested for questioning.
Failure to abide by these rules will result in a failing grade for
his test.
Answer:
Minstrel Show
Explanation:
Minstrel Show refers to a performance on stage that originated in the nineteenth century and which included songs, dances and comic scenes that were executed by white actors in blackface makeup. Thus, the presentations usually lasted three acts in which they mocked, ridiculed and deprived black people of positive human qualities.
Answer:
The suzan house is the last one on the right.
Explanation:
If cheryl and eve are direct neighbors we can understand that the two have houses next to each other. However, the text states that Laura and Susan are not direct neighbors, but Laura lives to the left of Cheryl, so we have a neighborhood formed as follows:
Layra + Cheryl + Eve +?
When we show the neighborhood layout, we can see that Susan's house is the one on the right side of Eve's house and the last house on the right.
Alliteration: "<span> as the scoriac Rivers that Roll— As the lavas that Restlessly Roll" (the 'r' sound is being repeated at the beginnings of words)
</span><span>
assonance: "</span><span>In the ultimate climes of the pOle— That grOan as they rOll dOwn MOunt Yaanek In the realms of the bOreal pOle" (the vowel sound "o" is repeated throughout the words)
</span><span>
consonance: "o</span><span>f CypreSS, with PSyche, my Soul" (the consonant "s" sound is repeated at the beginning and ends of words)
These sound devices have a sing-songy effect on the poem which helps create the mystical and mysterious mood. It almost lulls the reader into a type of trance through the memory of the narrator.

imagery: "</span><span>As the lavas that restlessly roll Their sulphurous currents down Yaanek"
</span>
This strong imagery helps to bring the memories to life for the reader and helps the reader relate to the mindset and the emotions of the narrator by providing images to compare them to. Comparing his heart bursting to the way lava flows down the side of a mountain creates a strong image.
