The "Yellow Bird" Spirit One of the most vibrant‚ deep‚ and sagacious screenplays of the 21st century is Arthur Miller’s "The Crucible." Miller brilliantly comments on human morals‚ authority‚ and mass hysteria. He parallels the events of Salem in 1600’s to the blacklisting and the discrimination against those who were labeled as a "communist" in America during the 1950’s. He proficiently shows how mass hysteria could sweep an entire community like a tsunami and erase all logical thought and rationality

The cadence is off-putting because of its unusual mixture of poetry‚ vulgarity‚ and violence‚ and because there is no apparent explanation for the acts it describes.

Untraditional Drama Conventions Does an author always have to stick to conventions in writing? A dramatic convention is an unrealistic element in a literary work that is accepted by readers or viewers because it is traditional. In The Crucible‚ Arthur Miller deviates from traditional drama conventions in his telling of the Salem Witch Trials.

not every soldier wanted to participate‚ or agreed with the cause they were fighting for. If these men were not killed by the war‚ the aftermath of so much trauma likely destroyed their minds‚ as in the case of Kevin Powers‚ the writer of The Yellow Birds. His time in the Iraq War left him with a fragile mental state that made it difficult to have a conversation without trailing off or getting lost in his own thoughts. While Powers felt too much from what he had seen‚ Tim O’Brien’s time in the Vietnam
