At the end of the play, Reverend Hale insists that John Proctor’s design to hang instead of admitting that he was consorting wit

h the devil is an act of excessive pride or stubbornness. As the old saying goes, sometimes people do "bite off their nose to spite their face." Do you think that Proctor’s last act was an act of excessive pride or honor? Were his actions foolish or noble? Explain your choice.

Answer and Explanation:

This question refers to the play "The Crucible", by Arthur Miller, which fictionalizes the story of the accusation and conviction of John Proctor and his wife during the Salem witch trials.

Even though there is nothing wrong with trying to save one's life, even if one has to lie to do it, <u>I believe John Proctor's actions were noble instead of foolish.</u> Death by hanging was the result of his insistence on his innocence. <u>He would rather lose his life than admit to having done something he did not. Some people may regard this as foolish, since he could have chosen to live and then attempt to clear his name. But it is not difficult for me to see things from Proctor's perspective.</u>

<u>He knew the truth. He chose to defend his honor, to stand up against those who lied. This is a type of courage most of us do not possess. It is an action of nobility when a man knows his character so well that he will not accept slander of any kind. I do not know what I would do if it were me, but I do admire his choice and his character.</u>

Answer:

The best effective thesis statements are both the first ("Hollembeak's review of the high school's play is fun and entertaining to read") and third ("In her editorial, Mellie writes convincingly of the need for high school classes to begin later in the morning") options.

Explanation:

The first and third statements are the only ones which state a convincing thesis about an argument. Both of them are informative about what is the object argued and present a clear idea of the main point made on that. Second option does not apply to the question because it is lacking in some way, because though it is informative and sets an idea of the argument, it is very broad to state "the play's action [is] in the 21st century". Fourth option does apply to the question as well because it is not a thesis, that is just exploring the content of an argument made, clarifying ideas for readers. And fifth option does not apply to the question too, because it is not a thesis, that is just a description of an information previously given, it only characterizes an informative statement, not an effective thesis.

netineya [11]
In report writing, or any case of technical writing, you must properly give credit to your resources or references. When you paraphrased the findings of another person, you can cite their work as references in the bibliography. But if you want to retain their statements word for word, you use quotation marks ("). Before doing so, you must use introductory words like "according to", "based on what he said", "and I quote", or any style that you want. 

From the choices, the correct use of quotation would be letter B.

Describe how literary devices such as alliteration and internal rhyme or frame stories and narrative interruption contribute to
GaryK [48]

Answer:

In contrast to Wordsworth's lofty language and complex rhythm, in "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner," Coleridge uses alliteration to create lyrical rhythm and mood. For example, the speaker repeats sounds to describe the perils faced by the ship in Antarctic waters: "The ice was here, the ice was there, / The ice was all around: / It cracked and growled, and roared and howled."

Coleridge also uses internal rhyme, or rhyming words within the same line, such as “The ice did split with a thunder-fit;" and repetition ("And round and round it flew"). This literary device lends the poem a singsong quality, which gives it the flavor of an old "sailor’s song" and contributes to the seafaring theme of the poem. Much like a lively sailor’s song, the poem can be read aloud and enjoyed.

The frame story and narrative interruption techniques add to the suspense of the poem. The reader discovers the mariner’s real identity along with the guest. Every time the guest interrupts the mariner, a new facet of the seaman’s identity is revealed. That keeps the story interesting.
