the other reason and the biggest on i think by far for the reason i am giving John the title of hero is that again when all odds were against him he stood up for what he knew was right. he went ahead and decided that he wasn't going to have all these wrongly accused people be possibly sentenced to death anymore and just came out and said that for was with the devil and that he saw no one else with the devil it was only him. this decision spills the water out the cup put s him over the top and overflows the water in the cup of heroness and he will forever be a hero in my eyes. he did end up getting killed over this which is not good to see a hero die but when it comes to peoples rights and what they are accused of it can be looked at like MLK Jr. and he did end up being killed but he was a hero as well.

John Proctor: Hero or Stooge?
the title i would have to give the man with the name of John Proctor would have to be a hero. even though hero do not usually die at the end of the day unfortunately this hero's days were coming to an end. his heroism all began when he chose to stand up to Abigail when they were alone together. he tells the woman that he will cut off his hand before he reaches out for her. this proves to me that he is a hero because he could have easily went to a girl who was madly in love with him and started a new life but he stood up for what he knew was right and turned her down. a true hero like John stands up for what he knows is right like he did right there to Abigail.

I love your comparison to MLK. It seems semi relatable due to how he was standing up for a whole group of people and attempting to gain freedom while Proctor just stood up for his name but when you deeply think about this comparison it is pretty decently proved.
ReplyDeleteI also enjoy your new and creative example of Proctor not reaching for Abigail. I didn't see anybody use it and it's interesting to see a variety and new techniques be used to prove a point. You provided your own way of proving this, very differently than others, and I admire that.
I would however like to challenge your point about him grabbing Abigails hand. You say he could've ran away with her but it's quite more difficult than you think especially at that time... all that could've gone on is let the affair continue in my opinion.
I agree with Sebastian, I love your comparison with MLK, but instead of just mentioning just the idea of the comparison of John Proctor's heroism and MLK's heroism, you should elaborate more. You should use Microsoft word when typing your posts to avoid any grammar mistakes. I also like your reasons on why John Proctor is a hero.
