Salem Witch Trials

I have been raised so that the right thing to do is to tell the truth, just like many of you, but through doing this simple set of questions along with pre-done responses I saw that telling the truth really has nothing to do with how things turn out. I answered the first set as if I was not guilty of being a witch and by saying this I was hung with in a month of “confessing,” but then I took it again and heard that if I said that I was a witch then I would be ok. So I did and come to find out it really did work even if I knew that I wasn’t. But one of the things that really seems to be strange to me is that no one really fought back and I don’t mean with words but physically hit someone in the face to stop them. I know that they had a guard that was from Boston but still if you knew that you were going to hang and you also knew that you went going to change how you thought why not take a sword or musket and fight to the death. I guess that is just one of those things that I would really have to happen to me to know what I would truly do. I hopefully think that I would stand by my morals and die for them instead of becoming someone who kills others. I think that people would have just stood up against those couple of girls to begin with then things would have been a lot less deadly. Most of the real conflict was from people with inside the town were really suffering from them hating each other and after the first “witch” was found then they realized they had an out to get they wanted from these people. But after some thought and really looking at the problem instead of becoming an organized mob and John Procter was hung even after he said the Lords Pray, they found nothing but the hate of a couple of people against another then things were stopped.

First Quarter of The Race

We have just finshed the first part of this year, and to tell you the truth I am a slacker I haven't given this class any more thought than I do a noisy child. Not saying that I don't enjoy the class I just have not really applied my self like I should and hopefully I will do this in the up coming part of the year.

Cancer With A Smile

In some of the lit circle today I added my own thoughts and feelings off the fact that my old sister had cancer around a year and a half ago. This book may seem some what boring to someone who has never had to hear the words that a loved one is being killed by a thing called cancer. So odd I find it that Johnny took cancer with a smile like my sister did she never failed to make a joke, such as, "how are you feeling today?" she would look and say in the most careless voice "well how does it look like I feel?" not knowing if you were going to laugh or cry. These moments are just things that come to mind when I read this book.

Responsibility Not So Responsible

Most teens it seems these days can not even keep up with there cell phone, which are one of there most valued possessions, what makes people think they can save the world from a evil Empire. Responsibility, having become one of the most dreaded words that a teenager could ever hear, seems to be something that nobody could ever really get ready to handle.
In Eldest Eargon is the sun that a dark land needs to help rise against an evil lord and his Empire, but unbeknown to most in this dark world Eargon has no idea what he is doing. From become a farm to one of the most powerful persons in the world is a dramatic change that always come with huge responsibility that would make any one struggle. My oldest sister got cancer about a year and a half ago putting me almost as the oldest child now. Both my parents were almost in the hospital with her for about eight months leaving me to take care of my self and sometimes my little sister. This was something that I was not ready for but had to accept. That wasn’t one of those things that someone could just say “no I don’t think so, not today.” So within about eight months I grew up a lot more than most fifteen year olds do. Eargon of course has to take this responsibility and help all those who can’t help themselves. This kind of responsibility is not one that some one goes out looking for but most of the time is just thrust into some ones lap.
Having responsibility is something that no one will ever be able to get ready for. I know for a fact that I was and, even if I had all the time in the world, would have been able to prepare my self the responsibility that could change life’s. Eargon took this responsibility and made the world brighter place when so much darkness was around and when becoming part of the darkness would have been so much easier. He took this went with what he was supposed to do, making the right choice in the end.
