The answer is:
Portia says that if Brutus were simply sick, he would do something to get better. As his wife and other half, she pleads with him to tell her what is on his mind. Then she inquires about the men who were sneaking around their house.
In Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar," Brutus' wife, Portia, seeks to know what is going through his mind. She even kneels down to ask him the reason he seems so unwell and his mind is so troubled, as promises to keep his secret. She is also worried about the men that have come to see him during the night, who are actually Caesar's conspirators.
Answer:
The rhythm and word choice in these three lines from Levertov's "Overheard over S.E. Asia" open the poem with a flat tone.

She lived in Keeler and later in Loomis, the difference is that in these places the family had to pay rent and share a part of the land with other people. In Mango street they paid no rent and had more privacy, as there was no need to share any part of the house with other families.
Explanation:
"The house oif mango street" tells the story of Esperanza, who lives in a Latin community with many social, economic and structural problems that limit her, but she refuses to accept this reality and dreams of having a better life than the one the circumstances it offers, but it will have to go through many challenges, many of them focused on the culture of its own ethnic group.
he most obvious reason Arthur Miller wrote The Crucible (or anything else, really) is because he had a story to tell. Without that, he would not have been inspired to write. It is true, however, that what inspired him to write this particular story is quite personal.
As a Jewish man, Miller was a political advocate against the inequalities of race in America, and he was vocal in his support of labor and the unions. Because he was such an outspoken critic in these two areas, he was a prime target for Senator Joseph McCarthy and others who were on a mission to rid the country of Communism.
Miller was called before the House Committee on Un-American Activities because of his connections to these issues but refused to condemn any of his friends. This experience, a rather blind and sweeping condemnation of anything even remotely connected to Communism without sufficient (or any) evidence, is what prompted him to write about the Salem Witch trials.
In a later interview, Miller said the following:
It would probably never have occurred to me to write a play about the Salem witch trials of 1692 had I not seen some astonishing correspondences with that calamity in the America of the late 40s and early 50s. My basic need was to respond to a phenomenon which, with only small exaggeration, one could say paralysed a whole generation and in a short time dried up the habits of trust and toleration in public discourse.
However, the more he began to study the tragic events in Salem, the more he understood that McCarthy's hunt for Communists was nothing compared to the fanaticism which reigned in Salem in the 1690s.
