The Crucible "Deep Thoughts"


The phrase that I chose was "It's more difficult to forgive yourself if the person you have hurt doesn't forgive you." I chose this one because a few weeks ago I went hiking and lied to my parents about who I was with and then I was forced to tell my parents the truth when I got lost. After this incident my parent could trust me or forgive very quickly, therefore, I couldn't forgive myself. I believe that once you figure out the true meaning of this phrase you will never want to lie or hurt anyone ever again.

Thoreau's Civil Disobedience Vignettes

1) In this situation I believe that civil disobedience would not work because "I" had other choices besides enlisting into the military. Therefore, "I" sign up to fight for my country through anything, but if I really didn't want to fight I could "get injured" and LEGALLY not fight in the war.

2) If a person came to my door that was illegally in the U.S, I would choose to help them. Because no one can tell me who I should and shouldn't help.

3) I did not sign up for the military so I have obligation to fight for my country, and if someone were to try to make me fight I would gladly go to prison.

4) Yes this action is justified because they aren't displaying any violence.

January 7, 2011 Shooting

On January 7, 2011 a total of 19 people were shot in Tucson at a Safeway. Six of those who were shot died including a federal judge and a nine year old girl. Thirteen of the shooting victims were just injured including Gabrielle Giffords. When I first heard about this shooting it was said that Giffords was dead. My opinion on this event is, the person who did this is not the sharpest tool in the shead, but hopefully he feels gulty about what he did. for guilt is the ultimate punishment.

Tom Horn

I feel that this new law is unfair because there are other classes in TUSD the are ethnic specific, like African American Studies and Native American Studies.
