<span>The screen door opens and Goodman comes out, a man in his early forties who first greets them smiling and then letting the smile fade as he sees the faces.

</span>

Direct characterization is when the author directly tells readers of some trait or characteristic of a character instead of letting readers conclude anything about a character based upon a character’s actions.  If we look at all of the possible answers for this question, all except speak of actions that lead readers to determine characteristics.  One, however, blatantly speaks of how old a person is.  With the words, “a man in his early forties,” the author directly tells readers about the character, thus, the second answer is an example of direct characterization.

The gulf stream and global warming reading passage answers ?
Bumek [7]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

You did not include the article or the link to access it. Without that information, we do not know specifically what you are referring to.

However, trying to help, we can comment on the following terms.

There is an article titled <em>"Slowing Gulf Stream Current to Boost Warming for 20 Years,"</em> written by Matt McGrath on July 19, 2018, that exposes the concerns of environmental scientists about the issue of how the gulf stream is slowing down and the effects this could have in the short and medium terms.

One of the consequences of this phenomenon could be the cooling of Europe and other parts of the world in a relatively short period. Scientists think that this situation and the melting of the ice caps in the North Pole will add to the severity of the cooling of the world, and the consequences for humans.

In at least 150 words, discuss Miller’s literary purpose for writing The Crucible. Use details from the play to support your ans
exis [7]

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.
