THE INFLUENCE OF TRANSGRESSION ON THE HUMAN’S LIFE IN ARTHUR MILLER’S THE CRUCIBLE
INTERNATIONAL SOCIAL SCIENCES STUDIES JOURNAL (Issue : 84) (Volume : 7)
Many researches, although, have been conducted on American Literature in general, but this study focuses on The Impact of Transgression on the Human’s Life in which is presented by Arthur Miller throughout The Crucible. The play explores several complex and trans-historic topics, many of which relate to the playwright's experiences during the McCarthyism era. Miller asks his audience to value independent and personal truths, which he defines as more morally right and good than social truth. This is because, in the playwright's mind, social veracities are often manipulated and exploited to gain a desired personal result regardless of how they affect people’s lives. The study comprises four chapters. The first chapter includes the introduction, aims and value of the study, Socio-political background, The Crucible as a Tragic Play, Author's Biography and his major literary works and summary of the Play. While the second chapter concerns with the literature review. The third chapter focuses on the outcomes of this research paper which is Social Transgression, Political Transgression and Religious Transgression. The last chapter includes the main conclusions of the study.

Representation of African-American People in E. O’Neil’s The Emperor Jones
HJUOZ Humanities Journal of University of Zakho (Issue : 3) (Volume : 8)
In every nation’s literature in the world, a play or a playwright often becomes the most predominant one and plays an effective role in contemporary society. Accordingly, The Emperor Jones by Eugene O’Neill, an American, is considered one of the best and the well-known masterpieces which are written in the late 1920s. This study, entitled “Representation of African-American People in E. O’Neil’s The Emperor Jones”, attempts to examine the representations of African -American people in terms of socio-historical background, culture and tradition; language and belief in E. O'Neil's The Emperor Jones, in the light of African-American history through the main character who struggles to resist for being an emperor while denying his own identity as an Afro-American, and, through imitating his exploiter who eventually led him to represent his own ethnicity and people. The play depicts an image of African-American society historically through several hallucinations which happened within the mind of the main character.

Humanities Journal of University of Zakho (HJUOZ) (Issue : 2) (Volume : 5)
ABSTRACT: Despite the fact that Zakho provides a safe sheltering for multi-faith/ethnic groups, little has been documented about tolerance and coexistence regarding people residing this town. This paper analyzes a book titled My Father’s Paradise, written by Ariel Sabar, published in 2008. It focuses on the initial events of the book that take place in Zakho; a town located in Kurdistan region of Iraq. This town plays an important role in the development of Sabar’s main characters of the story. Additionally, the paper focuses on the notion of tolerance among various religious groups co-existing in the same town. In exploring the notions of tolerance and coexistence, researchers closely approach the development of major character in order to gain insights into characters’ lifestyle and how they are represented in the world of the story. The paper concludes that the ambience of Zakho town, including cultural, traditional and geographical elements as well as personal names, have essentially influenced individuals’ moral, intellectual, and spiritual character development of My Father’s Paradise.
