John Proctor...Hero or Stooge?

Some would say hero...some would say stooge, but me, I would say he's a little bit of both. At times, I was convinced that John was never going to tell the court the truth, that he would keep putting it off. He obviously did care about his wife, Elizabeth, but would that be enough? To put his life and Abagail's at risk? When Elizabeth first asked him to go and tell the truth, he was extremely hesitant, saying that he would think on it. My reasoning for saying stooge is because he waited until the last minute and was obviously under pressure. He tells it all out at once and tells it all, this making him seem a hero. He does seem to try to blame it all on Abagail though when what they did was not forced. Proctor would have seemed more of a hero if he told the truth from the beginning, but he didn't.

Imagine this: You are sitting in your house, it's calm and everybody is going about themselves when all of a sudden you hear somebody outside. They have a device that is projecting their voice so that everybody within 5 blocks can hear. They say "ATTENTION EVERYONE. WE ARE NOT HERE TO HARM YOU BUT WE ARE HERE TO TRADE MATERIALS...AND MAYBE TAKE A FEW OF YOU BACK TO WHERE WE ARE FROM". What would you do? The native people had strong values, they believed in welcoming all and treating people nicely. Columbus would believe that they were not intelligent but I would disagree. I believe that they were just slightly naive to these foreign things that the settlers were showing them. If I asked what Blanquette de Veau was, most Americans would not know that it's a French veal dish because it's foreign and most of us don't see it everyday. Conflicts that can occur when two or more groups of people come together that have a different race, culture, religion etc is superiority and racism. We aren't seeing it as much because now it's more so on the down low because it's no longer seen as how you're supposed to feel. Today people promote seeing everyone as equals but there are still plenty of people in this world that think they are superior to others and that's where things can clash. Columbus definitely thought he was superior. He had the mindset that the native people weren't smart, he could trick them, he could spread his religion through them because they obviously had no religion and that he could just come in and get their gold.

Me

"Me"

My name is Ayanna Fourte and I am a freshman. I really like bowling but my absolute favorite activity is shopping! I enjoy spending time with my friends and our favorite thing to do is see a movie then go shopping. I don't have a lot of favorites, it's hard for me to choose one favorite for some things. For example, I don't have a favorite color, I have colors I like a lot which are pink, black, and gold. It's weird though because I barely ever wear pink and after seeing me for a few weeks you will see that I actually wear gray the most out of any color. I also don't have a favorite food, but again, I have foods that I really like. My mom gets mad at me a lot because for some reason I'll just stop liking a food that I used to like and I am very picky and don't like her cooking a lot of the time. Random fact: I LOVE weird socks. On the weekends I like to sleep as much as I can and just lay in bed and watch TV. The shows I like the most are Awkward, Faking It, Dance Moms, and Bring It. Even though I don't get to do it much, I enjoy creative writing and painting.
