John Proctor: Hero...or Stooge?

     Personally, I think that he can be considered both, depending on how you see it. He can be a hero because he wants the truth, as the same for almost all heroes. Then there's the part where he wants Mary Warren to confess and show the court officials that the whole hysteria is nonsense, that no one was seen with the devil and no one should have been accused of witchcraft. He is a hero for trying to save others and prevent the finger from being pointed at another innocent person. He may also be seen as a hero because he is a highly respected member of society and doesn't want his good name ruined by some nonsense, which I guess can also be seen as him being a stooge, bending to others' will and throwing away his life with the desire to not lose his title.
     He is a stooge by bending to others' will and being generally weak. He is a farmer, whose primary responsibilities are to serve the society by bringing it food, which may be explain how he got his high title. He had also done the work others don't want to do by trying to get the truth out of the girls, and trying to show the town that the hysteria is nonsense.
     These are my opinions about John Proctor, how he can be seen as both a hero and a stooge. Hero by attempting to expose the truth, but a stooge for the same reason as well. Then, there is him showing the hysteria is nonsense, which can be related to both as well. All show evidence of John Proctor: Hero...or Stooge?

There Goes the Neighborhood

From the view of a Native American:

1492
   Who are these people? They are so different, so strange. They come from other land? Not possible...but...? Hm.. What if men from the sea were sent from powerful force, one we can't understand? They bring us goods for our shinies, much of which we have an abundance of.
   These men, they are as white as the sun, and wear strange, foreign clothes we have never seen before. These men are strange and speak this language much more proficient than us, but they have spent so much time into teaching us this new language of theirs. Maybe they are a message from a higher power?
                                                                   
Spring, 1493
   These newcomers (although not so new anymore) had finally left, but not before taking so much from us! They took my family, our crops, and even almost destroyed our food source. They say they will return soon, and left some with us. They introduce us to a new weapon called the "musket" and a horse, which helped us actually have a fighting chance against these who had taken out families and took our land from us.

Fall, 1493
   The foreigners had returned finally, but came back to the crew they left behind, dead. The captain had gone onto a rampage, slaughtering hundreds of us. We were down to a mere hundred left, and many of our crops were destroyed in the fight. After all this had happened, he brought a couple of us with him, sticking all of us on a ship, in a crammed room with little to no light and ventilation. I wonder what he has done to our land, and what will he do with us?

ME

So, this blog is about me, but mainly my life, and some of my personal interests. Here’s about my life: I have a mother and a father, both of whom are Asian, grandparents and aunts/uncles living in the United States, and an even LARGER extended family in China and other places in the world. Also, although I am Chinese, I was actually born in America and have never been to China as long as I can remember. Also, I have practically no sense of fashion, and despise wearing jeans. And then…what else? Oh right. I have 2 pet turtles, who are named Turtle One (For the larger one) and Turtle Two (For the slightly smaller one). Best names ever, am I right?
                Now, onto the personal interests. Some of my many interests and activities I do are swimming, biking, quarter collecting, and the occasional running. I swim practically every day after school, competitively and leisurely, and go biking some nights. In quarter collecting, I have collected most of the released national park quarters and all of the state quarters. Also, I play basketball sometimes with my brother.  Although I have no accuracy what so ever, at least I try (but I still fail…horribly). Well, I think that sums up my simple life real nicely. So in conclusion, my life is simple and boring (in my view, of course).
