Hero or EssstOOge?

As one of the main characters in this crazy play, John Proctor as a big secret, his lust for Abigail. When he speaks directly to Abigail to 'set her straight' it seems that he is very protecting of his title (as many in the play). Proctor doesn't want Abby to open her mouth about their affair or to point Elizabeth out as a witch. Proctor known Abigail is going to do something horrible and tries to stop her, but fails. Then during Mary Warner's testimony he tries to speak out and call Abby a fraud, but without telling them about their affair. He fails AGAIN. And then he tells the court the truth about him being an adulterer, that results in him getting killed. To me it seems that he is a hero. In the end he spoke out. He decided not to sign the public confession of adultery and live. It may seems that he was tried to only protect his title, but i don't see it that way. I see it as Proctor trying to save his personal integrity and enter cleanly into heaven (as Abby yelled at the end). Not only that but if he confessed to it then it would dishonor the other prisoners who are going to die as witnesses to the truth. Yup. I'm deep like that.

Angry GOD!!!!!

If i were a normal me, in front of Jonathan Edwards, I would be kind of scared. I mean, here's this guy talking about how we're all are going to die, and talking about how God can make you or break you. I would freak out if I heard this man talking about how God hates me, and is just waiting to kill me. I beleive in God (I'm Catholic), but I don't really believe much in hell (that's just a personal belief). I believe God made humans, but isn't proud on the decisions some of us (most of us) have made. I do believe God punishes people, and sends them to a bad place, i just don't belive that place is hell. IF God is holding your fate in his hands at this moment between heaven and hell, well then hope he doesn't let you fall. If i were living back then and Edwards was preaching about this, then i would freak out, because i would believe him (like many others did since they HAD to believe him). I would belive that God will drop me into the pits of hell without thinking twice.....esssspooky.

There Goes The NeighborHOOD

I live in a not-so-good neighborhood, sorrounded by gang-bangers, and a bit of graffiti. My parents, of course, are sick of it, and who wouldn't be, but it's not like we can go up to the gangsters and say "get out of here!". Those guys don't even live in this neighborhood anymore, but since our block is pretty closed in, they hang out around here. The neighbors are mostly Mexicans, a few black (African-American) and they all hate it. However, the situation has taken a turn for the better. A few months ago, this man, dressed all fancy and driving a Cadillac Escaladecomes along and buys a few houses on the block. I'm guessing he's crazy rich, because he has the money to fix those old houses up; I'm talking, new windows, backyard, the whole ten yards, and rent them to nice people. Now, don't get me wrong he's helping us out a lot, getting the gang-bangers out of the neighborhood a bit and cleaning things up, but lately he's been coming up to my dad, telling him how he should care for the house, OUR house. Once, he talked to my mom, and he asked her what school I went to, my mommy said that I come to Whitney, and he started bragging about how his son is smart too, and that his children are in great schools. He pretty much flauts around his cash, and it's very irritating, but we're grateful, that this guy took a step forward to clean up our neighborhood. Mr. Cash Money doesn't even live around our neighborhood, but he comes to check up on his houses at least two times a week. The guy's irritating, but nice. (:

Wonders of Leslie--The Intro.

Well hello there. My name is Leslie, (kind of obvious). I also go by 'Les', or 'HEY'. I am Mexican! I consider myself both from Puebla, Mex. and Mexico City, Mex. I love love love Mexican food, music (rancheras), and pretty much anything to do with my culture. I may appear to be quite (don't think so). I love music, and i listen to almost every genre at least a little bit. I am very down to earth, I like to think of myself as weird, so you don't have to. I find myself thinking a lot, and about the most random things too. I prefer Harry Potter to Twilight (both in books and movies). I don't have a favorite color, because I don't want to be racist to all the other colors in the rainbow. Skittles are amazing and Starbursts are a contradiction that i love. I go to Whitney Young High, Class of 2013!!!...if we live past 2012 (keep your fingers crossed). I speak Spanglish most of the time, and I'm Chinese II this year. People often ask why I want to learn Chinese, and why I'm not in Spanish for Span speakers, well that's because I like to try new things. That, and my Asian friends say that i have 'an inner Asian' that begged to learn Mandarin. (You might have noticed that I like to use parentheses a lot) YES!. I believe that they allow me to express myself more freely. (VOLDERMORT!!). Okay that is all for now. I want a dog.
