To Kill a Mockingbird Response to Literature essay help?

We Answered:

In your first body paragraph you could explain the theme from Chapter 11. Then in the second and third body paragraphs you could explain how Harper Lee uses the symbol of the Snow-on-the-Mountain camellia to amplify the theme. She built her spirit little by little just as when she was making the camellia. Now it is Jem's turn to build his own. As the camellia out of wax does not wither, in the same sense, true courage may be hard to build, but once built, it never leaves you.

Why did Arthur Miller write The Crucible as a play and not another medium of literature?

We Answered:

A play is a play. You know, where people act.
Other mediums of literature would be novels and poems.

Plays are divided into acts and scenes, which generally move to a different setting for each, whereas the chapters of novels and stanzas of poems can have multiple settings in one.

"Rhetorically," I'm not sure that there is much of a difference. I read The Crucible more as a novel... But in the end I think he wrote as a play because most people prefer to watch something of such depth rather than read it, and when you watch The Crucible, you catch so much more of the little things that really make a difference in the plot.
