    original version of The Crucible‚ published in 1953‚ a second scene for Act II was written but Arthur Miller decided to take it from the future editions that came after that time. A reason Arthur Miller might have removed this scene from the play was that it showed the readers too much information‚ which would have given the readers too much about what would happen later on in the play and it might have had disinterested the readers into continuing reading. The Act II scene‚ which was taken off from

    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.

The use of birds is also a reflection of characters‚ which conveys to the audience that

    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
