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.

Richard Connell uses personification often in his short story "The Most Dangerous Game." Which line from this excerpt is an exam
Paul [167]
Personification is giving human characteristics to a nonhuman object.  #3 seems like the best choice.  Saying sleep did not visit Rainsford is giving sleep the human characteristic of visiting. (Like people do)  
Hope that makes sense.

How did Seamus Heaney incorporate Old English poetry elements in this modern translation?
konstantin123 [22]
<span>Heaney incorporates Old English poetry elements in his modern translation through punctuation. In Old English poetry, one often used half-lines. This means that each line of poetry was split into two half-lines, and in each of these half-lines there were two strongly stressed words, often with the purpose of giving musicality to the poem. Heaney follows this half-line pattern in his modern translation.</span>

You, the commissioners, have come from afar to listen to our grievances. My heart is glad and I shall hide nothing from you. I u
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

Satanta's speech is affected by the humble tone by making it sound respectful to the commissioners. This is also important since he says that he will not hide anything from them. By speaking in this way, Stanata makes his speech match what he is saying. If the opposite happened and the tone was presumptuous, this would take away value from that which he is asking from the listeners.
