john proctor: hero or ------>stooge?<-----this one!!!

In my opinion, john proctor obviously a stooge. He tries to hide things that he shouldn't have been doing in the first place and he doesn't seem to be very wise when it comes to thinking about the outcomes of his actions. It seems like he(like many people in the town) is focused on his reputation...doesn't seem very heroic in my opinion.
The main thing that's been the problem with him is his affair with abigail. Now he regrets doing something that was nasty in the first place. Abigail is a little girl compared to him. Young enough to be his daughter. But he still has relations with this girl. Which not only goes against god but it goes against just basic common sense. No he has a girl that thinks she's in love following him around. Now in society now, we all know what this is. Plus, he has put his wife in danger because she's gonna try and get her killed. Now I don't see any positive in that.
He also seems to have a big worry about his reputation. Now this isn't rare in salem but its still not good in this situation. This is because he need to stand up and be a man in order to put an end to this whole mess with his affair. Handling this himself has gotten out of hand. This reminds me of the movie "obsessed" where a married man leads on a woman and so this leads her to believe they can be together. Then she turns into a stalker. Sound familiar? I guess he doesn't know that some women would do almost anything to get a man she wants. Well people in general not just women.
Sooo proctor is definetely a stooge and should be arrested for molestation.

sinners in a hand of an angry god

This passage is really just a sermon by jonathan edwards and he is just talking about how god is just torturing us because he regrets creating human beings. He thinks he knows all about god and his intentions and he makes that very clear. this is also what children hear every Sunday so their minds may be really special.
He first of all talks about how he has his hand blocking a lot of chaos and any time he can just lift up his hand and chaos will just take you over. I think that in a way this could be true if you look at it in that way. But in my opinion its not true. He seems to just be looking at how nice people get hurt randomly.
Also, the severity of the punishment is really severe. For example, he talks about how fire, water, and arrows attack you and you suffer until dying. Some people do die suffering but life isn't that bad. He makes it seem like if you make one slip up you'll die a horrible, suffering death which is most of the time not true because the god I know forgives people for their sins.
He thinks that life is really like this and in my opinion its not true. Some people may have died horrible deaths but it hasn't happened very often. Its really just been in disasters that's cause so many deaths and horrible injuries. So I think this man is really strange or he has had a really horrible life.

There goes the neighborhood

a neighborhood usually goes bad when some people move in that may diturb the peace. kind of like how christopher columbus did when he kind of tried to take ove land that the native americans previously owned. like when people that are loud come into a neighborhood, they are more likely yo cause a disturbance than people who tend to keep to themselves in a loud neighborhood.
so people that tend to throw parties can really just change the neighborhood entirely in good ways and in bad ways. for example, if the area is quiet, loud parties would be more rare so if a new neighbor were to throw a loud party it would be a pretty big disturbance.
but on the other hand, people can sometimes use more parties. we all know these boring people that never want to have fun. so picture if a loud person comes into a neighborhood with all people that are workaholics and that never have fun. that one person could be a huge part of those people lives. hopefully a positive influence.
also, the way the neighborhood is presented could be changed. most of the time, there is that one house in the neighborhood that has residents that never take care of their house. so there would be a far less chance of that particular neighborhood to have a movie star, or an actual movie to be shot on that block. so yeah that person could possibly ruin it for everyone.
that particular family could also be very different than everyone else. so it would be nice to have a little cultural change every now and then. if theyre actually that loud, then you will actually be affected a little by them and you may learn a little by their habits.
so there really isnt a such thing as there goes the neighborhood because people can be positively and negatively affected by how a diffent resident comes into a neighborhood. just like how america was affected by the europeans coming and taking over. so you should just try to make the best of every new commer in your particular neighborhood.

Swagg (Intro)

Well to start my name is Dante Robinson.
Some things about me are that first of all i play baseball, and yes for the school. Ive been playing the piano for about eight years now and i hate it lol. I live pretty south in the marquette park area. I enjoy playing sports and i occasionally go to sox games (yes i am a sox fan woo!).

I also love all my friends. Like really my life would not be the same with out them. My very best friend is Josiah Jackson. Im sorry to any of my other good friends lol. But like i do love EVERY last one of them because life at this school wouldnt be worth while at all

Like I said before, im a pretty good piano player. Ive hated it for the entire eight years. But now i seem to enjoy it a little more now. Im also playing at the school so it might be because of that. Ihope to be able to just play anything and it being good. My favorite actual piano player is Stevie Wonder so i like to look at myself as a young him.

Baseball is also a huge part of my life. Ive been playing since i was seven and i have loved it ever since then. I try to improve on my game as much as i can and i try to end up being really good. I play first base and played for the freshman team last year.

I have like 4 siblings and they are all older than me so yes i am the baby. I have two brothers and two sisters. I am more closer to my oldest brother mainly because he is always around and hes a big enfluence in my life. He tries to be a good brother and wants me to be successful in life. Just like my parents.

I have two parents like everybody else in this world does. I love them both and they both try to have an influence in my life and they want me to be a good person. Basically what all parents want for their kids.

Im also completely black if you couldnt already tell. I mainly live in a black neighborhood so I really only see other races at school or out my hood.
