Today in class we worked on the anticipation guide for The Crucible by Arthur Miller
For homework tonight, please post part 2 of that guide: (comment on this post - read each other's posts)
Write a reflection for Statement 1 "Confessing to a crime you didn't commit in order to avoid punishment is wise."
AND
write another reflection for a statement of your choosing from the sheet. Each response should be 200-250 words as to why you have the belief that you do.
due for tomorrow
Also remember to bring in your $10 for your copy of the play. I will continue collecting money until Wed.

ummm....i using a different account...anyway....
Confessing to a crime you didn't commit in order to avoid punishment is wise....thats a pack of lies!!! If you didn't do anything but you get punished...well i'd rather get punished as long as people know i didn't do it.
I choose "That which doesn't destroy you makes you stronger" I agree but in a phycological sence. phyically it will either make you weaker or you will remain the same. Unless you have mutant powers. Phycologialy and mentally it may make you stronger. It depends how you look at it. It will give you knowlodge to now make the make the same mistake again. Also it makes us stonger when we was before so we can indure more. For example you get divorced you are very sad in the first weeks of the break up. But if it happen again then you can take more.
To confess to a crime you fully well know you did not commit sounds more of a coerced decision. If you didn't
do anything in the first place, you should not get punished for anything,
no matter who says what.
The difference between right and wrong does not exist, neither do something that is simply "right" or
"wrong". Instead there is just and
unjust, what we can justify and give reason for is what we call the
"right" thing to do, and those we cannot give reason for, we call
"wrong"
Confessing to a crime you didn't commit in order to avoid punishment is wise. Put your self in this situation lets say you broke a very special picture or glass you mom liked and you know shes going to punish you for it are you really going to say it was you or make up a lie. Its good to know you have a good heart but really put yourself in the situation then think about the outcome.
I choose the statement "That which doesn't destroy you only makes you stronger". Like i said in class if some strange occurrence happens and you get shoot at and you recover from the injury, its not going to make you immune to the next bullet wound you might get in the future. Also mentally it goes the same if a person you loved goes away it is going to hurt you but this wont make you stronger if the next day some one else dies.
"confessing to a crime you didnt commit in order to avoid punishment is wise"
i completly disagree with this statement i feel that lying is never the soultion. if u dident commit the crime and are not guilty of having take part in the crime why should u lie to confess. you will most likely be punished in the and your state of confession will just most likely be held against you.
"the difference between right and wrong is always clear"
i disagree with this statement also i feel that what might seem clear is not alway correct i completly beleive that you are innocent until proven guilty. the facts arent always clear. people can assume you did the crime but the facts arent there. you sometime have to deep digger into information to solve the cases.
-"Confessing to a crime you didn't commit in order to avoid punishment is wise."
I believe that confessing to a crime that you didn't commit in order to avoid punishment varies, under circumstances, so I am undecided.
In example, if a person is on trial for murder and there is multiple evidence leading to this person, although they didn't actually commit the crime. In some cases their jail sentence is shorten, and in this scenario confessing would be wise. In a different situation such as confessing for a crime that someone else did, would just make yourself look bad.
-"Courage means doing something even though it can be difficult and fearsome."
I chose this statement because I strongly agree with it. Having courage is doing something even though you don't necessarily want to. It is much like being brave, and over coming something. Having courage is doing something that you wouldn't normally do and it could be difficult and fearsome. I believe if something is difficult and fearsome the only way you can achieve it is by having courage.
"Confessing to a crime you didnt commit in order to avoid punishment is wise"
.......... well this is basically a commo sence question to be honenst nobody likes to be punished whether they did that "crime" or not. I agree with this anticipation because naturally humans are selfish and comme on "throw the first rock whoever has never done it" i also dont agree because it aso depends int the situation you are in EX: my brother and I were playing in the house and he threw the ball a little too hard and then my mom had this vase and she liked it a lot and the ball hit the vase and broke it at the end i ended up taking responsibility for the broken vase and with it came the punishment. i thought it was wiser to confess to the crime i didn't commit because i thought that was the right thing to do.
"Courage means doing something even though it can be difficult and fearsome."
............i agree with this anticipation because think that nothing in life is easy and it's never going to be, courage is a quality and not all of us possess it is not easy to stand up or do something that requires courage, like a child going to the doctor it takes courage to go and more to go through the shot and more. or standing up for yourself you know its going to be fearsome and it's not going to be easy but if you have courage you are a step closer.

Confessing to a crime you didn't commit I believe iis unwise. If you did not commit a crime there is no reason to confess to it. Yes some may feel that you may be avoiding punishment if you confess to the crime. But in actuality you can be receiving more punishment. Punishment the person who commited the crime and not you deserves. So it is wise to stick to your guns and always tell the truth. In this case if you didnt commit to the crime don't admit to it. As a famous quote goes " If the glove don't fit it must accquit"!!1
ANOTHER QUOTR I SAW THAT INTERESTS ME WAS " A PERSON IS INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY" I BELIEVE THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST OPPIONIATED STATETMENTS WHICH IS ALSO A LOAD OF CRAP. THIS IS NOT TRUE. IF A PERSON PLEADS GUILTY THEY ARE NOT INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY. ALSO IF YOU SEE THE PERSON COMMIT THE CRIME IN FRONT OF YOU THEN THERE GUILTY. THERES NOO IF AND OR BUTS ABOUT IT. ESPECIALLY PEOPLE WHO ARE NONE REMORSEFUL.I BELIEVE THE ONLY TIME YOU ARE INNOCENNT IS IF YOU DIDN'T COMMIT THE CRIME PERIOD OR IF THERE WAS SOME REASON FOR YOU TO COMMIT IT. THAT IS M BELIEF ON THIS
Confessing to a crime you did not do is one of the most degrading things you might be forced to do in your life, however sometimes it is the path you are forced to take. If it is what you must do to further your goals then why not? So I say yes if I must confess to a crime I did not commit to further my aspirations I will willingly do it.
As for my belief I choose "It is better to die for what you believe in rather than lie to save your life". Now I do not want my opinion of this belief misinterpreted. Death should only be the last option in any situation or conflict. When supporting a cause or set of goals you must weigh two crucial things, is my death going to be more beneficial to my cause than me being alive. Only after you have weighed the two against each other can you confidently say yes I am now willing to die for my beliefs. However, if you know by lying you can further support your beliefs, then you must hamper in the shadows quietly pushing your goals. In its essence isn't exiling yourself just like killing a part of who you are? I believe death is rushed by people who believe it is necessary to obtain their goals. If your death is required for your goals to become a reality then that is the only time you must die for what you believe in, otherwise the coward’s path might be the better choice.
it hink that every thing is based on the circumstanses. if it was something that was important i wouldn't comparise myself by admitting to some thing i didn't do. but if its something little then it wouldn't make a diffrence.

When you confess to a crime that you didn't commit in order to avoid punishment, i would say that's smart in a sense, but it's also not. If you are taking the hit for somebody you love, it's o.k. to do it. but being blamed for no reason is not right.
The phrase that i chose was probobly the phrase that had the class the most excited. "that which doesn't destroy you makes you stronger". O.K., ummm.... what about taking a bullet to the heart...you'll most likey end up dying on the spot.If this phrase added something like "mentally" stronger, then yes , it will make you stronger to take something like criticism. Other than than i can't agree with it.
confessing to a crime you didn't commit in order to avoid punishment is wise
I agree because I would rather say I did commit a crime and walk away safe and alive than sticking to The truth and and risking your life to something you could have simple sayd " yes I did it" an still have the security of being alive and starting a new life.
" that which doesn't destroy you only makes you stronger"
I aalso agree, it all comes from learning from your mistakes and the next time it happenes you will know what to do and do it better.
And I also disagree with omar because like he sayd if someone dies, the next time someone dies it doesn't mean it's madyou stronger and toucan move on, but I would disagree and say, when a loved one passes away it's difficult and you cannot get over it and once you do another death happends, it won't be AS difficult to get over it like the first death and you will understand even more because you have already expirienced it.
