Bonjour, actuellement en terminale S je suis dans la réalisation de mes fiches d'oral pour le BAC d'anglais. Pourriez vous corriger mes faute pour celle ci ?
(Présentation). I'm going to talk about the notion Myths ans Heroes. Myth can be a legend or a thing from the past we still remember, it's can be an imaginary story. Myth is often associate with hero. A hero is someone who saves someone's life, he's powerful. In fact we can considered somebody who is hunting as an hero and this person can be a myth.
We can ask us self about the several
forms of witch hunting in the USA ?
1. First we will see witches ad witch hunting in 17th century America
2. Then we will see witches and witch hunting in 20th century America
Witch and witch hunting in 17th century America
During the 17th century, in America, many people were accused of witchcraft. Puritanism it was a very strict religious. So all forms of distractions were forbidden and considered as sin. People had to respect a very strict dress code and respect their values. They were scared of the devil infiltrating their community.
Also in the 17th century, with hunting was omnipresent, for example during the trial of Salem, 200 people were accused of witchcraft and 20 were hanged. Witch hunting can be explained by popular belief and epidemics famines or illnesses . But people attributed all mysterious things to the devil and women were ideal victims to explain all the tragedy of the world.
Witches and witch hunting in
20th century America
As to the 17th century, we found the notion of « witch hunting » in the 20th century in America. In fact in these days, a politic against communism was put in place. We have seen a document “The Hollywood blacklist”. People's names were put on this list because they were accused of being Communists. We can considered them as hero because they fight everyday against people. We can also speak about Charlie Chaplin who was accused of Communist sympathies, and so he leaves America. Today he's a legend, famous and he 's a sort of hero because he returns in US to receive a special Academy Award.
Moreover, in “The Crucible”, by Arthur Miller we can see a woman , five fingers are pointing at her. She looks afraid. These people are probably accusing her of being a witch. Maybe she did something wrong in the past, but she's clearly humiliated. She was accused of witchcraft.
Even if today witch hunting doesn't really exist, numerous people are still rejected and excluded, without real reason. Especially small community in some countries, as in America : after the attack on « pearl harbor », the Japaneses communities living in the states was suspected to help the enemy. So they were the victims of American prejudice. They were scapegoats, and we see this very well on the film “Snow falling on Cedars”.
To conclude, in all century there were heroes, legends and myths about witchcraft. Therefore some people were rejected by a country, a state or a community. Their story make them heroes. Witch hunting change but nowadays, there is always scapegoats.

Bonjour !I'm going to talk about the notion of Myths and Heroes. A myth can be either a legend or something from the past we still remember; it can be an imaginary story as well.A Myth is often associated with a Hero : someone who saves lives, someone powerful. Actually, we may consider a person (pour éviter les répétition s.one , s.body...) who is hunting (tu as voulu dire qui chasse comme un chasseur au sens propre ??) as a hero and he may become a myth.
We can consider several forms of witch hunting in the USA .
1- First , we will see witch hunting in the 17th century in America
2- Then, we will see witch hunting during the 20th century.(during ou in tu chosis)
(witch = sing/ witches = pluriel pareil féminin et masculin)
je trouve ton 1 et 2 un peu long :voila ce que je te propose :::
We are going to follow the evolution of witch hunting's phenomenom through centuries
- In the XVII century
- In the XX century
Witch hunting in the XVII century in America.
During the 17th century many people were accused of witchcraft in America. Puritanism was a very strict religion. So all forms of distractions
were forbidden and considered as sins. People had to respect a very strict dress code and had to have a great consideration for values..They were scared of the devil which might infiltrate their community.
In this century, witch hunting was omnipresent, for exemple during the trial of Salem, 200 persons were accused of witchcraft and 20 were hanged.
Witch hunting can be explained by popular belief and epidemic starvations or diseases. But people laid the blame of mysterious things to the devil and women were ideal targets to explain the tragedy of the entire world.(the evil eye of the entire world = le mauvais oeuil du monde entier)
Witch hunting in the 20th in America
As in the 17th century, we find the notion of witch hunting" in the 20th century in America. In those days, a political oppression against communism was set up. We have seen a document "The Hollywood blacklist". People'names were writen in this list because they were suspected to be communist. We can consider them as heroes because they fought everyday for themselves and their community. We can mention Charlie Chaplin who was accused of communist acquaintances ;he prefered to leave the States. That's the case of quite a lot of producers , film makers as Elia Kazan, actors who left their country,and went to exile. Today, Charlie Chaplin is a legend, he's famous and he is a kind of a hero because he (accepted to go back to ?) went back to the States to receice a special Academy Award.
Moreover, in "The Crucible", by Arthur Miller, we can see a woman . Five fingers are pointing at her. She looks afraid.. She is probably accused of being a witch. Maybe she did something wrong in the past, but she is clearly being humilated. She was accused of witchcraft.
We can consider that nowadays witch hunting is over, but a large number of people are still rejected, excluded, without any real reasons. Especially some small communities in some states . (si tu mets dans certains pays comme en Amérique, je trouve pas ça cohérent parce que ton sujet c'est en Amérique. On se demande ce que cette phrase vient faire là) After the attack of Pearl Harbor, the Japanese community was suspected to help the enemy. So they were the victims of american prejudice. They were scapegoats as shown in the film "Snow falling on Cedars " directed by Scott Hicks.
To conclude, every century has had their heroes,myths and legends about witchcraft. Therefore....................................Their stories make them ou their story makes them.....................there always are scapegoats.
Pour être honnête, je n'aime pas le dernier paragraphe : je le trouve hors-sujet. Tu parles d'exclusion....Les premiers auxquels on pense ce ne sont pas les japonais après l'attaque de Pearl Harbor mais les personnes descendants d'esclaves , c"est-à-dire toute la population afro-américaine.
Ce n'est bien sûr que mon avis , mais pour moi, ça fait comme un soufflé qui redescend. Du coup la conclusion est pas terrible non plus.Je n'ai pas vraiment d'idée, c'est en corrigeant que je m'en aperçois.....je corrige toujours sans préparer..ça prend plus de temps mais c'est plus spontané.
J'essaie de trouver d'autres pistes, les Amish, mais ils n'ont rien de Héros mis à part le fait qu'il résiste au modernisme ..peut-être une piste à exploiter d'autant qu'ils ne sont pas , je crois, très acceptés....ou les Mormons. Je crois plutôt les Amish. A toi de voir. C'est l' opinion personnelle d'un élève de 3 éme..
J'espère t'avoir aidé(e)
bonne soirée !
