Deaths in Different Plays

      After reading The Crucible,  I really wonder why Proctor chose to die instead of confession to the wrong accusations and living. For people today, the question is not completely answered. However, in the past it was normal. That answer is found in the strong religious background that most of the accused were raised on. John exemplifies the importance of a strong name throughout his actions and choices throughout the play; most significantly the fourth act when he chose death over discracing his family name. Giles' refusal to reveal the name of the informant who accused Putnam of conspiracy with the devil also shows the role of justice in these peoples lives.     Throughout the play, one of the central themes continues to be john proctors, Corey Giles, and Rebecca Nurse's refusal to degrade their souls with lies of the confession only to save themselves from the unjust accusations of witchcraft. In this time and era the people living in and around Salem were in puritan faith and lived in very strict lives. At this point, in history there was still no separation between churches and states, so the church had a major role in each individuals life. When Reverend Parris came upon the children of Salem and dancing and conducting against their religion.     Giles Corey and Rebecca Nurse were killed in the end all because Proctor didn't want to confess. Both people believed in letting god judge their faults. Proctor also felt this way when arguing to Dansforth about his confession to adultery, he turned as God as his witness and said "i have confessed myself! there is no good Penitence but it be nailed upon the church. God sees my name!; God knows how black my sins are!". Throughout history. people have chosen to die with honor instread of living full of guilt the remainder of their life.

The Mead Quote Thingy

The internet is a big and social universe, separate from ours in many different way. There are a lot of comparisons and contrast between the two worlds and they, in my opinion, are very unique. Most, the biggest contrast is how living in the virtual world creates a better sense of equality, free from prejudice and physical limitation. In the first place, everywhere you go, no matter who you are or what you've done, discrimination and prejudice is all over the place. it is also there online and throughout social media applications. The thing that separates it is the power to control it. Man is given the freedom of speech and you cannot prevent someone in real life from talking. Amazingly online, you can not read the email or block the person. You can ultimatley save yourself by not letting things get to your head. To make a counter argument to the statement, people say that the undefenseless cannot defend themselves. you defend yourself by closing your ears tho the non-sense. It just does not make sense to me why people would blame social media for things when in reality, the people themselves are bullying each other.

Stream Of Conciousness

If you like boredom and non excitement, listen to how my winter break went. i basically did nothing. i hardly had fun. Fun didn't even exist in the sam time and space as me. i cried from not doing anything production. Any other stream from anyone else i this classroom i can guarantee you had had more fun then I. you could stare into a wall and have more fun than I. you could possibly even pass out from the extreme solidarity and reclusion. i suffered though. but you could even it happiness though. You wouldnt even know it if i did like the lonliness  loneliness or not.
