John Proctor: Hero or Stooge?

John Proctor : Hero or Stooge?

   I believe that John Proctor is just a stooge.  Throughout the Crucible John Proctor has had the worse luck. Part of it is his fault because he committed adultery and did things against the religion of the Puritans. He knowingly committed adultery and was caught by his wife. The definition of a hero is a person who is regarded as a model and admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities. Sure he confessed when it came the point where he was cornered but he committed the act in the first place. At the end of it he seen as a liar and the butt of the joke, or a stooge, after his Goody Proctor and Abigail said that the lechery had never happened. He even said before they brought in his wife that she would never lie and she did and now he is seen as a fool. So no I do not see him as the hero of the of the story but the man who made the wrong decisions and he wasn't really thinking.

"There Goes the Neighborhood"

September, 17, 2015

If two groups of different ethnic backgrounds and beliefs moved into the same area would they be able to live in harmony? I believe that it all depends on the situation at hand. For example if the Protestants come to the Native Americans home and try to force there religion onto them there will probably some conflict. But if there is a way to keep piece between the two groups then there won't be conflicts. In the end its human nature for us to cross the line of whose is whose and fight over land. This type of thing has been happening for thousands of years. So I believe as humans are humans there will be a constant struggle between humans over space. There is also an hierarchy in society that we don't really see but it is really present. Take America for example, we believe we are the biggest and most bad country in the world. So we will march into a country and say that we are obligated to take this country since we are the best. That you could say has something to with not getting along over space. Here's another example, China, Russia, and the U.S. all find out that there is a new piece of land off the coast of the Atlantic,  now its a race to get there first and once all them arrive they probably wont shake hands and say we are all going to own this land. There will probably a war between the three countries for the land. Again, as long as we are human we won't share the land.

ME

September , 10 , 2015

         For my first blog entry I will be talking about me! So here is some basic back round information that you should know about me. I was born on November , 6, 1999 in Las Vegas Nevada. A cute kid I was. Got all the ladies in preschool and kindergarten. I moved to Illinois 3 months before my 3rd birthday. I lived in Plainfield up until my 1 year ago when I moved to Chicago. It was a pretty easy move for me as the neighborhood high schools aren't the greatest academically. I made friends right away from soccer and they introduced me to other people so it worked out really well,  I now live in  Beverly(Southside !!!!) and I really like it there. My family at home consist of my dad, stepmom, younger brother, and sister. I have two older brothers but they both have graduated college and are now adults with real responsibility. One of my passions is soccer. I have played soccer since I was four. Played on one of the top teams in the Midwest with Chicago Fire up until high school. Was on junior varsity last year and this year I made the varsity team at Whitney Young. This years team is very talented  and we are hoping we can combine all of our talent and bring home a city championship. Another passion that I have is making people laugh. When I was younger I had wanted to be a standup comedian and perform in front of big crowds. I don't really have that particular job as a goal of mine in the future but I still have some pretty good jokes. Okay, how many tickles does it take to make an octopus laugh? Ten-tickles.
