Six 6 Word Stories

Helping isn't liking a post online.

Her hand fell to the bed.

She counted ribs from her chest.

She's thinking of what could've been.

The horns blared; she hummed quietly.

She saw her sister hanging there.

John Proctor, Hero or Stooge?

The Crucible was an incredible play. But one controversial character that everyone could agree on was John Proctor. Stubborn and a breaker of one of the ten commandments that those Puritans valued so deeply, he was definitely a very different kind of Puritan. I believe him, despite his sins, to be a hero. When he was faced with the opportunity to betray his friends in order to become a free man, he didn't. He had a chance right there to not die, and he also said that he would want his life and to once again be with the love of his life, Elizabeth. However, he didnt. He valued his friends lives more, and he sacrificed himself for them. He stayed true to his ideals to the very end of his life. And a hero is the type of the person who does that! They care about the well being about others above their own. A stooge is someone who is mean and cold and cares only for themselves
 Even though we see that side of him earlier on in the play, it disappears along with our thoughts of him being that way. Would someone who was a stooge die for some else? Or want to get out of jail and go to court to save his life? No, a stooge wouldn't. John is sorry for his faults, and he knows what he did was wrong. He even admitted so to the court, to his wife, and even told so to Abigail. More people could of died had he saved himself, and Abigail probably would not have stopped to continue to try to get John to be with her. However, he knew much better than the others. But now he makes up for it by being a hero, by dying to save the others that would be sure to follow to the hysteria of Salem.

There Goes the Neighborhood

It seems to be some kind of a normal day. Then all of a sudden, there's news of these people that have come to inhabit your home. They look different, act different, they don't even the talk the way you talk. It's confusing. What do these people want and where did they come from? Could they possibly be from up there in the sky, the spirits?
When the Americans came to the land of the Native Americans, they could only imagine what and who they were and what they wanted. These two very different groups of people were about to clash, and with it brought triumph and terror. The problem was that the settlers had very different ideals. They didn't believe in the spirits like the Native Americans, and the latter didn't believe in their god. And as a result, the settlers felt no remorse when making room for homes while chopping down trees, or disrespecting the wildlife. The settlers also felt more superior to the natives, which they were not, only because they felt like they were more advanced with weaponry. The main clash for all different groups of people, whether it be right or not is that they are different. Nobody likes people who are different than them. The popular people make fun of the nerds who watch cartoons or do their homework. The nerds hate the popular people because they're different. They find each others activities pointless despite the fact that they make each other happy. Throughout history and even now, we notice that being different makes you stand out.

ME

Hello everyone! Some of you may know me, and those of you who do know me, well know me! I obviously am in the same English class as you are, but I am going to take this time to actually talk about myself because it’s not something that I do very often at all. For starters, I am really interesting in drawing, movies, cartoons, stories and animation, because I love the stories that all of these mediums tell. I want to be able to tell awesome stories and wow an audience and interest them. I don’t really care about the money you make off of the job, rather how much you can have in a job; because it’d really be great if you could be working at a job you love while simultaneously getting paid. Outside of that, I just enjoy helping people out to the best of my ability because some people just need it. I knew I kind of needed someone to cheer me up some days (of course that never happened), so I just try to do what I can. Also, I really like a wide variety of things just so I can enjoy everything and get along with everyone. Things I really don’t like include sexist jokes and people who are hurtful and don’t really seem to care (ex: people who say: “Can’t you take a joke?” when they’ve made a joke that really wasn’t funny to anybody at all.). I guess I try to keep up with the world today so that I can be informed and so I do not get misinformed by other sources that don’t tell the whole truth. I try to enjoy my life as much as I can, and I’m kind of hoping for me to get the job I’ve always wanted in the future. That’s all I have to say for now, hopefully I didn’t bore anybody who’s reading this!
