Answer:

McCarthyism.

Explanation:

Miller's story <em>The Crucible </em>is about Salem witch hunts, but only on the surface. In the story, we can see Puritans hunting innocent people and burning them at stakes just because there was a slight possibility in their minds that they might be witches.

However, metaphorically, the entire story is a criticism of McCarthyism. McCarthy was so paranoid about communists that he organized "witch hunts" in order to find them in America and eradicate them from the country.

Answer:

Miller used the play as a criticism of <u>McCarthyism.</u>

Arthur miller wrote "The Crucible" to criticize McCarthyism. The latter is called like that because there was a Senator in the USA called Joseph McCarthy; he claimed that there were communists living in secret in the USA. The natural consequence of this was that lots of people were accused of being communists, and because of this they lost their families, jobs and lives.

Arthur Miller was outraged with this situation and he wrote the Crucible in order to draw a parallel between what happened with the Salem "Witches" (year 1692/3) and with "Communists" at that time (year 1950s). The story in itself seems to be about a witch hunt, the thing is that that was exactly what was happening in the USA, since everybody made accusations and people were suffering lots of consequences for those accusations, needless to say, even when those accusations were a lie or they were not backed up with evidence.

As in appeal to ethics. It can't be logos because that is for logic and the other because those are literary devices, not appeals.

If you were to read a memoir written by Neil Armstrong, what would most likely be the focus
Naddika [18.5K]
A memoir is much like a self reflection that tells anecdotes from the author's past. Neil Armstrong who was the first man to land on the moon, would most likely have a memoir focused on his training and his experience flying in outer space and walking upon the moon's surface.

There are just some places where it’s not enough to be me. Either version of me.
olasank [31]

Answer:

This is an example the theme of split identities of the main character, Starr Carter.

Explanation:

"The Hate You Give" by Angie Thomas narrates the life of a black girl and the main protagonist, Starr Carter stuck in between the two worlds of the black community and the white community. This story deals on the issue of racial inequality, split identities of the characters, the need to speak out and assert their own voice and also the power of a community. The particular quote of Starr, "<em>There are just some places where it’s not enough to be me. Either version of me</em>." shows her confusion over her split identities. She may be a black girl from a black community, Garden Heights and black heritage but she attends the white school in Williamson Prep. She fluctuates between these two worlds and most of the time she finds it hard to manage both identities making her frustrated, as is evident from the quoted passage.
