John Proctor Hero or Stooge?

John Proctor Hero or Stooge?

I believe that John Proctor is a hero. He stands up for the truth while much of the town lies and deceives in order to serve their own agenda. John is relatively honest throughout the book, and tries to right his wrongs. He also tries to help his wife who he isn't even very attracted to. Proctor also goes to Salem by his own accord, just for the sake of knowing the truth. Thus Proctor is shown to be a kinder character, as opposed to someone like Abigail who uses power and deception to get what she wants. In the end Proctor is hanged for working with the devil without confessing, which makes him look bad but he stills holds the title of hero in my book.

There Goes the Neighborhood

There Goes the Neighborhood

Akecheta and I were the first to see the foreigners. At first they were kind to us. They gave us many gifts such as beautiful beads and patterns. We accepted graciously, and in return we provided them with food and any such supplies they required. Then the disease hit. Many of us died, and then they weren't kind to us. They were a constant danger, an source of evil. Their so called gifts were really poison that just destroyed us. They ripped trees from the ground, and destroyed the once beautiful land. They also began to drive us from our homes, and they used whatever means they thought necessary to do so. They had weapons of gods, our bows and spears were no match for the guns and swords. They charged us on large beasts that could run faster than the best of us. Our only chance was to run, and so we did. After they came we were soon gone. Even now they continue to push west, and we are attempting to defend ourselves with no avail. They may have pushed us from our home, destroyed the beautiful forests we called home, and ravaged our society with deadly diseases, but we will have revenge! We will may them pay the way they did to us!
