John Proctor : Hero or Stooge?
I think in the Crucible John Proctor shows characteristics of both being a "hero" and a "stooge". First off, he was a stooge for sleeping with someone else while he was married and with their maid at that. That is stooge behavior. But, along with that, he also shows characteristics of being a hero because he is willing to tell everyone he had sex with Abigail just to get his wife out of jail and to convict Abigail and let everyone know how much of a liar she is. But because he tried this, his plan back fired on him. John Proctor has good intentions, but the way he carries them out makes him look like a "stooge". Especially at the end of Act 3 and the beginning of Act 4, he made himself look like a straight clown!
Poor John Proctor.... all because he slept with Abigail....

There Goes The Neighborhood
Two different groups or societies coming together can be very beneficial or extremely bad. What that depends on is whether the new societies intentions are good or harmful. There is always a huge risk to letting new societies come in and try and be a part or an existing society.
Besides the Native American and English situations, there are also many other cases of this.
For example, the gang violence in Chicago. There are very distinct areas that each gang controls, just like the English and Native Americans. They also have "wars" and fight over which territory will stay or become "theirs". This is a more modern take on what happened back then.
But as bad as mixing two cultures and societies can be, there can also be some very good outcomes. Another example, let's just say that the English men's intentions were good and to make peace with the Natives. The society they could have discovered and built together probably could've conquered the world. With the high tech (at the time) supplies and the Native's knowledge of the world that they live in and basic ways to survive with nothing would've been such an amazing mix and learning experience.

All about Me
Hey to everyone who knows me well, or may not know me at all. I'm a sophomore here at Whitney, you might have seen me in the hallways for those who don't know me. I'm going to start off with the simple stuff. My birthday is October 21st 1999. I'll be 16 . I hate feet! I am typing with blue because blue is my favorite color. I am the 3rd oldest and the first in my family at Whitney Young. I am a dancer here at Whitney Young and I enjoy dancing very much and I'm willing to try almost every style. I actually hate school and everything that comes along with it, but my friends are my highlights of each day.
Now the more interesting stuff. I have a pretty bad attitude and get mad really easily. I am always willing to meet new people, so if I look mean (I get that a lot) don't worry. You can come and talk to me. I am great when it comes to group projects and will alwaus get my work done. I hope to make friends with all of you before the end of this year .
