We search for a place to be familiar and feel a sense acceptance, not realising that Belonging is a dynamic process of identification, which establishes a relationship with individuals and their society. The bonds we form with people play a fundamental role in shaping our self of belonging and also transforms through new experiences. The crucible by Arthur Miller demonstrates a constant composition of dramatic techniques throughout the play. Tension is generated throughout the play by the constant struggle to distinguish what is true from what is perceived to be false. Miller’s use of juxtapositions, dialogue, irony, symbolism and imagery implicates his techniques to help implement his ideas into this play.
The term “rhetoric” is defined as how writers and speakers use their words in order to influence their listeners. This plays a role of great importance when working with and reading works of writing in order for the writers to attempt to portray their overall message to others. Rhetorical analysis is the process of using critical thinking skills to break down something into different parts in order to interpret how those certain parts fit together. It is not necessarily based on opinion or includes a summary. The main goal of rhetorical analysis is mainly based around how the author writes and how they make their points, instead of keeping the focus on specifically the topic of the writing.
There are two types of evidence used in this article, allusion and expert authority. For allusion, the author is saying that our desire for a better life goes back to the Bible days. This is allusion because a brief reference to a text that the writer expects the reader to have some knowledge, the knowledge the reader possesses about the allusion is used to support the claim. The second kind of evidence used in the article was expert authority. For expert authority, the author asks an expert for her opinion and the expert responds with saying that we are partially to blame for TV advertisements being in our homes.
In spite of this great amount of terms, a single word in English can be loaded with meanings. Fine, for example, has fourteen definitions as an adjective, six as a noun, and two as an adverb (Bryson 69). However, there are still gaps. English lacks words describing the middle ground between hard and soft, near and far. English has also a large number of negative words, like inept, disheveled, ruthless, unkempt, for which the positive counterpart is missing.
The last three terms are also important but not always necessary. In the article “American Value Systems” by Richard D. Rieke and Malcolm O. Sillars, I found great use of the Toulmin model when understanding their argument with each individual value system. In their article they did a great job by not generalizing the American population by using the term ‘everyone’ which could possibly offend readers and having them judge from the beginning. The article speaks of six value systems but clearly states in the opening paragraphs that “broad social categories” are defined, also, both groups and individuals will be found outside of these systems or may use certain qualities of one or more value systems and combine them to create their own. The value systems defined are The Puritan-Pioneer-Peasant Value System, The Enlightenment Value System, The Progressive Value System, The Transcendental Value System, The Personal Success Value System and The Collectivist Value System.

The Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis: Worlds Shaped by Words Miller describes two modes for the relationship between language and culture. What are they? SapirWhorf hypothesis a perspective in linguistic anthropology which says that language determines thought.

Interpersonal communication skills, particularly public speaking, are present within all aspects of life and are vital in effectively conveying a message or persuading a group of people. Public speaking is the act of speaking and presenting information to an audience with the intention to inform, influence or entertain. Public speaking skills are vital within the field of creative writing, as authors are required to seek representation, market their writing and demonstrate the presenter’s understanding. Possessing the ability to evaluate and analyse the audience is a required skill when giving presentations as it gives the speaker the knowledge of what to prepare for and how the audience might react. The effective and controlled use of paralinguistics and body language ensures that the desired message is expressed effectively and assists in the audience’s interpretation of the presentation.
