Life+of+Authur+Miller

Arthur miller was one of the greatest play wrights of the 1920's. He was born in NYC in 1915. His parents were Austrian Jewish immigrants. When he was in school he wasn't the greatest student grade wise. After schooling he went to Michigan state college, after college he worked in the radio industry. His first play he wrote wasn't very successful. The plays to follow were nicely written and had good reviews.

During his life the first red scare and taken place. It began because the US wanted to suppress dissent and promote a pro-war attitude before the US entry into WW1. A series of bombs were sent to high officials, the bombers where never discovered. Which makes high concern for people to think that this was another corruption in the Government. There was also something called the House Un-American Activities Committee. the purpose of this committee was that they were looking for spies. A well know case is when Ethel and Julius were executed for passing nuclear weapons secrets to USSR. There was Red Channels a list of writers, directors,and prefromers that claimed were memver of the subversive organization. People who were accusesed of being communists to presevere theier careers and reputations they accuse others and named names of other people. If you plead the 5th the people thought you were guilty. Thats how Authour miller understood what was going on in salem. Like John Proctor Miller was accused of being a communist, and did not confess or name names. Rather he went to jail for a short time and got a fine. Millers carrer was realy saved by marrying Marlyin Monroe. Arthur miller and John Proctor are the good people in the world, for standing up in what they believe in.
