So he did the right thing and fought back to show Noah and every bully that they shouldn't mess with anyone (GO GET THEM JIMMY!!!). In his mind Jimmy remembered all the action movies and video games that the hero always won and the bad guys always lost (Geak). So Jimmy went for a super uppercut to Chomp, Noah’s Right man. He ended up missing and hitting Tom in the eye and knocking him out cold. Then Chomp kicked Tom out of the way and grabbed Jimmy from the head and kneed him in the head so hard his head started to bleed but Jimmy did not fall. Jimmy looked at Tom and saw his shirt was ripped and he did not have any shoes, he was bleeding from his nose, coughing blood and one eye completely close and one closing because of Jimmy. Then he knew that to win and not go to the hospital would be to fight dirty and quick so they don’t get …show more content…

Jimmy now has lost all hope of someone helping him and tries to get out of the grip, but Chomp has twice the strength of Jimmy. So he cried and told him he would stop “just don’t kill me”. Noah Just kept walking closer to Jimmy and Noah stabbed him in the abdomen, Shaking and moving the knife while it is still inside of Jimmy.

Before this battle, the men are starting to feast on pig and some other foods. All of a sudden they realize that something is wrong because the observation balloons have spotted smoke from their chimney. Soon after, shells begin to drop on them. They race down to the house and feast for four hours. Outside houses are burning, shells are propelled down to the ground. In eight days the men are told to return. Only a few days later are they ordered to evacuate a village. While on their way, Kropp and Paul see people fleeing out of the village with distress, anger, and depression. Everyone is silent as the two walk by them, even the children holding on to their mothers for moment, Paul feels a blow on his left leg. Albert is right next to him, and he cries out to Paul. The men scurry to a nearby ditch. They are hurt, but do the best that they can to run to another ditch. Albert is straggling behind, and Paul helps him to continue by holding him up. They reach the dug-out where Paul bandages up Kropp’s injury, a bullet for an ambulance to be taken. The ambulance picks them up, and they are given an anti-tetanus shot in their chests. When the dressing station is reached, Paul and Kropp make sure that they are lying next to each other. The surgeon examines Paul and tells someone to chloroform him. Paul objects to this order, and the doctor does not do it. The surgeon takes out a piece of shell, and puts Paul in a plaster cast.

In order to stay with his friend, Paul fakes a fever and they reach a Catholic Hospital together.

Paul is called back to his regiment and returns to the front.  parts, or lost body parts, and they are thankful that it is not them who are in danger of dying. By receiving injuries, Paul and Kropp experience the war from a different perspective.
While lowering himself to reach for the paper, dragging his body to go with gravity for only mere seconds and feet. It seemed that all of his muscles could not stretch enough, but he was able to feel the thin paper between his thumb and middle finger. As soon as his body was being dragged against the gravity pulling him, Tom was able to place his paper into his rugged coat pocket. Step by step, his body began to feel taut, halting him to rest for only a minute. At one of those rests, a bright light caught his attention and instinctively he turned his head to see what it was coming from. During this turn of events, he began to panic, having a wind catch his coat, whilst trying to pull him off of the ledge like a bandaid. He slammed his body onto the brick, making the wind release its grip from Tom. He began to focus on the dimmed light of his apartment window, inching towards
In Acts I, II and III we see a portrayal of local farmer John Proctor
“Well, all the plays that I was trying to write were plays that would grab an audience by the throat and not release them, rather than presenting an emotion which you could observe and walk away from.” by Arthur Miller. All great works provide a way to reach in and grab the audience through the reoccurring themes like, greed, jealousy, reputation and hypocrisy. Arthur Miller had one of those great works and it was called “The Crucible”. The play was based off of the witch trials that happened in Salem in the year of 1962. Some of the characters were actual characters involved in the witch trials. Arthur Miller wrote this play during the time of the “Red Scare”. Miller wrote The Crucible because he wanted to turn the The Salem Witch Trials into
Ever since the fall, mankind has had a voracious desire for power and influence. People witness this desire within the walls of the Capitol Building when the media exposes backroom deals. It also springs up whenever a politician uses a podium to persuade people that he makes the world work. Politicians possibly rely on persuasion because they crave the power. However, persuasion is a manipulative, unBiblical tactic of forcing others to accept a point of view by all means necessary.

Is there any idea worth more than a human life? In The Crucible by Arthur Miller, John Proctor decides that he has nothing left to live for, and therefore becomes a martyr. The question for him or one in his position would be whether or not there exist causes worth dying for and if his position is one such case. There is no principle worth more than a person’s life and therefore principles worth dying for, only principles worth living for.
American president Abraham Lincoln once said, “In the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years” (www.brainyquote.com). How long someone lives does not matter more than how they live. People remember actions more than anything else. Many people have two choices in a dilemma. They have to analyze different causes and effects the choices have. People have to choose the outcome they want to be known. Just as in life, literary characters have to choose between two opposite actions and live with the consequences. In The Crucible by Arthur Miller, John Proctor faces a crucible that causes him to question whether he will live or die. Because of his crucible, Proctor feels guilt, hopeless, and satisfaction.
Great events, whether they are beneficial or tragic ones, bring change in a person. These scenarios can give one an entirely new perspective on life, and turn around his way of thinking. Events such as the Salem Witch Trials show the people involved what they could not see before. In Arthur Miller's The Crucible, Elizabeth Proctor, Reverend Hale, and John Proctor gain valuable insight into themselves, as well as others.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal”(paragraph 2). Oh how these words so plain and simple, could start such a revolution. A revolution against one of the greatest military mights of our time. But why? Why would we stand up to Great Britain? Because we can no longer lay down as our oppressors beat and whip our brothers. Doing the right may not always be easy, but it still needs to be done. Often it is the oppressed to carry out justice to the unjust. We must be the liberators of the weak and lonely. But how could we do this great good if we do not liberate ourselves? Let us rebel!
WHO IS THE BLAME? Good afternoon, my fellow audience. I am here today to persuade you on who I believe to be the character most responsible for the death of the two main characters in the play, Romeo and Juliet, a tragedy written by William Shakespeare. It is almost an ironic play because of its open and easily known ending, but yet its ending raises the controversial question, WHO IS TO BLAME FOR THE DEATH OF ROMEO AND JULIET? I believe every character in the book contributed to their deaths, even Romeo and Juliet themselves, but Friar Lawrence bears a monumental deal of the blame because he was the principle and most reliable adult that could have steered the ‘inexperienced’ couple, but his incompetency led Romeo and Juliet to a violent death.
Character: Concerned citizen of Salem just before the hanging of Rebecca Nurse and John Proctor

The kids all walked out, they dropped their guns and were handcuffed, except for Zach who went to his mother and got his medication.
