The moment I knew I was an American

The moment I considered myself American was when I was seven, and I went to Ireland.  Before that, I considered myself Irish American, but I realized that I wasn't Irish American, but I was American with an Irish background.  When I was there people called my family Americans, and considered us full blooded ameriicans.  It wasn't like they told us we weren't Irish, but I realized that I wasn't.  To call myself Irish I would have to be born and raised there, and I realized, and finally considered myself to be american with an Irish backgroung.

Till Death

People die for lots of reasons, but sometimes those reasons just seem silly to other people.  All types of people are against terrorism because they think it's "wrong", and so do I, but what I also understand is that the terrorists think this is the "right" thing to do.  What it boils down to for me is what is right and what is wrong.  Everybody knows their own morals, their families beliefs, and their religious beliefs, and they live by these definitions of right and wrong.  In my opinion nobody has the power or the knowledge to say what is right and wrong for humanity, so conflicts come from this.  Since their are so many different beliefs people will always get into disagreements that seem stupid to eachother, but it's simply what they were brought up to think thats creating big problems in the world. 

Hero or Stooge

I think John Proctor is both a hero and a stooge.  He did stand up for what he thought was true, and tried to defend the girls which I respect considering the importance of witchcraft during this period.  He went against everyone to stand up for himself and the girls which is respectable.  He is also a stooge.  His affair with Abigail is the main reson I think this.  He admits to an affair, and his wife knows, and he admits he still has feelings for someone he shouldn't be with.  This is definitely worthy of having a title of a stooge.
