Unjust Court Case

                           Many years ago there was a court case about a 15 year-old girl who was raped. After going to the police and identifing her "rapest" she tried her hardest to continue on with her life. Little did she know she had just made a terrible mistake. She idnetified the man who she thought had rapped her and innocently made the wrong choice. Dean, the man falsely imprisoned, sat in jail for 14 years before he was released. After Loretta, the woman who was rapped, talked with Doctor Phil and her husband she can to terms with the fact she had sent an innocent man to prison. Dean and Loretta were united and she had her chance to apologize, which she very much took.
                           This court case reminds of "The Cruible" in a lot of ways. For Example, an innocent man was locked up for 14 years before being released into society for a crime he didn't commit. All the women who were "hanged" were innocent too, because in the 21st century most people have realized witchcraft doesn't exist. The women and Dean were all falsely accused of crimes/sins they did not commit. The women were hanged, while Dean rotted in prison. Dean was truly like the women from our play, some women indeed sat in prison aswell. The biggest thing they share was being punished for an action they did not commit and having people many years later realize their mistake(s).

                           The play relates to my life in very few ways. Some very similar, while other aspects are very far off. It is my understanding that there is no power back in those days. I couldn't survive without my cell phone, or my t.v. I also love to dance and express myself creatively. This would surely have me hung back in the days of the Puritans. I wouldn't anyone close to how I am without my dance, my laughter, or my freedom to express myself.
                           However, my mother is very Christain. She can be really strict sometimes and it honestly reminds me of this book. I love her, don't get me wrong its just that she can be kind of crazy sometimes; when it comes to religion anyways. I feel like I'm in this play a lot of the time I vistit her. It frustrates me very much so. After having the experiences of living with her for quiet some time, I feel like I understand why Abigail acted out, and created problems in the village. It wasn't right of her, but she had to do something that would change things up a bit.

uhh I couldn't find the new blog.

Ms. Gilman did you post a new blog, because I couldn't find it to save my life haha.

An America..

                     To be an American you can be very diverse or even different from others. Not one American is the same as the next. America is a very diverse country for many reasons. For example, religious freedom is allowed which is rare, in my eyes, in the world today. We are very much in the 21st century while other countries seem to live in the past. I understand that we are one of the wealthiest countries, but they don't seem to modernize with what they have. Americans have many different types of people; such as the punk rockers, the preppy, the emos, the stoners, and mainly the people who don't know who/what they are. I personally believe that you have to be an individual to survive in the country. You can use where you have came from or what you plan to do in your near future.
                    Lets take Lady Gaga for instance. She went into the VMA's last year with a bird cage on her head and today she is one of the top selling artists. People in America crave individuality and thrive on people who give them their "fix". Some Americans are not honest; in my eyes to be a true American you have to be honest. You also should take every opportunity you can and chase the dream. Hints the nickname " the land of opportunities". I truly believe that you need to work hard for what you get and not be surprised if you don't work hard and get little. Unless you're Paris Hilton or a another spoiled daddy's girl.
                     I feel that American Literature portrays some life accurately, while other times it is completely off. The way stories are written now-a-days can stray from the truth, while back-way-back-when they were a lot more accurate. I don't enjoy reading very much literature myself, but do occasionally. Mainly because I get tested on stories and rely on my grades to promise a bright future.
                      To be an American you must be an individual. You must be strong as a person, a friend, and even a family member. If you choose to succeed in this country you must also work for what you want and not expect things to be handed to you left and right. This country is called "the land of opportunities"...but if you don't take advantage of them then you are truly wasting your time here.
