Consider a historical event of interest to you. Using The Crucible as a formatting template, compose a script for one act of a play representing the event, and use at least two literary techniques to communicate a theme. Your script should be at least 150 words. (Doesn't have to be 150 words I just need ideas.)

Scene One – There are loud explosions and the sound of rifles blaring all around.Soldiers are positioned in trenches and firing shots toward their enemy. The think smoke lurking everywhere hangs in the air like smokehouse meat. Soldier 1: “Help I’ve been hit!” “Somebody please help me!” “I see the angels of heaven comingfor me”. “They are so beautiful.”Soldier 2: “I’ve got you sergeant, you’re gonna be ok!” “Just apply pressure! Hold on! You will be fine”.Soldier 1: “Thank you.” “I thought that was it for me!”Soldier 2: “No not this time.” “You’re a tough guy”. “You’ve got nine lives”. Soldier 1: “I appreciate the vote of confidence.” “I feel that I may be gone at any moment.” “Have you heard the rumors that some of our guys actually support the Mavons.” “They believe we should not be here and that we are going to get what we deserve.”Soldier 2: “I heard about it but now that you mention it, I have noticed that a few of the guys here do act suspicious.” Soldier 1: “Please give me their names.”

b) a state law could be declared illegal if it contradicted the constitution.

explanation:

the conflict of this case originated when james w. mcculloch, a cashier of the baltimore branch of the second bank of the united states that the congress had chartered in 1816, refused to pay a tax imposed by the maryland state.

in the case, the state of maryland appealed that the establishment of a second bank was unconstitutional since the constitution didn't say anything about granting that power to congress. however, the case determined that even if such right wasn't specifically stated in the constitution, it was part of the "implied powers" of the government enunciated in article i, section 8.

the case also eliminated maryland's legislation to impose taxes to a national bank, asserting that even though the states retained the power of taxation, the constitution's laws are supreme and can not be controlled by the states, therefore, if a state law contradicts the constitution, it should be declared illegal.

explanation:

it took two men to wrestle rome back from chaos and turn a republic into an empire. in the first century bc, rome was a republic. power lay in the hands of the senate, elected by roman citizens. but the senators were fighting for power between themselves.
