THIS IS DUE TODAY, PLZ HELP!! Arthur Miller’s The Crucible, one of the most influential literary depictions of the witch crisis, was written and performed during the Red Scare, a period marked by fear of Communism’s influence over American life. However, it always seems to resonate with every era it is read and performed in. What do you suppose prompted Arthur Miller’s decision to research and write about Salem now? In what ways do the items discussed in the article such as accusations, evidence, and hysteria still resonate with modern day society? Choose a modern day event that has unfolded recently that is an example of a modern day witch hunt, or mass hysteria.

It's such a typical scene, mass delirium, however we more often than not observe it in a considerably less uncommon shape. In a nursery, when one infant begins crying, they all begin crying. At the point when a couple of children on a play area begin singling out somebody, the rest float around, cheer, and possibly get a kick or two. At the point when there is a radical deal on wedding outfits, groups of individuals go insane.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
