Answer from: DeGeneral8468

The film adaptation of "The crucible" begins with the girls dancing in the woods. This is done with a double purpose:

1. To set the atmosphere of the story.

By starting with this scene (which in the orginal text takes place off stage) the viewer is placed on the theme of suspicious that is present all throughout the story, because we might believe that they are doing something off but we are not entirely certain about it. The theme of witchcraft is also established through this scene.

2. To create a dramatic effect over the viewer.

There is a clear impact on the viewer by starting the film with the girls dancing around, it makes the accusation that comes later much more real and it allows the viewer to place himself in the eyes of Parris, the one who sees the girls dancing.

Answer from: Quest

taking into account that a theme is the central topic a text treats and can be developed through a story, play, poem etc. the following are themes that can be further developed:

my best friend jeffrey has many unusual interests. (the story could be about each of the unususal interests)

once a man gives his soul over to evil, he can never go back. (this could be a saying or a proverb)

the three sheepdogs lay around the yard all day. (it could be developed detailing how each of these sheepdogs lay around)

a priest's collar has an unusual effect upon people. (it could be developed detailing the different effect upon people)

innocence is a powerful force in a world full of corruption. (it could be developed detailing how is a world full of corruption)

king lear is a play shakespeare wrote later. (it is just a sentence and doesnt give any idea or topic to be discussed in details.

evil often wears the disguise of innocence. (this could be a saying or a proverb)

Read the quote from zimmermann in the code book. a future government could inherit a technology infrastructure that's optimized for surveillance, where they can watch the movements of their political opposition, every financial transaction, every communication, every bit of e-mail, every phone call. everything could be filtered and scanned and automatically recognized by voice recognition technology and transcribed. it's time for cryptography to step out of the shadows of spies and the military, and step into the sunshine and be embraced by the rest of us. which question does this paragraph answer? why does zimmermann think encryption is important? what kind of encryption did zimmermann invent? how does zimmermann’s encryption work? who made encryption based on zimmermann’s work?
