Malala's decision to speak out about women's right was very difficult to make. She had to stand up against a very violent group called the Taliban. She very easily could have kept silent to make sure she was safe but refused. Since she was so active about women's rights, she had a death threat from the Taliban, and was later shot by a Taliban gunman. Miraculously, she survived the fatal shot. Many people in her situation have remained silent because of threats like this. Putting yourself into danger is one of the most difficult choices to make but, Malala knew it had to be done. She did the right thing advocating for women's rights and putting herself into harm's way. Another example of Malala doing the right thing is she blogged how the Taliban oppressed women. She thought that more people needed to know about the struggles of women against the Taliban. Malala very easily could have stayed in the background and kept to herself. This would have kept her safe because the Taliban would not have felt threatened by her. Instead, Malala did the difficult and right thing to do by sharing women's struggles against the Taliban. The song "The Right Thing" by Mandisa, is about making correct choices. For example, the lyrics are "I will do what I need to and when I need you,

Thousands of people have been killed by terrorists and millions have been injured. I am just one of them.” (Paragraph 3) She was a brave little girl for speaking up because not many had the guts to do what she did. Also, malala knew she was putting her life at risk ,but she still did what she did because now it’s not only about her, but others as
Strength, power and courage was born.” Malala continued to lead activist groups and conferences after being shot. She demonstrates persistence by continuing to speak out about the importance of access to education for women. In her grew courage, bravery and
Malala Yousafzai has made many claims for what she believes in. Those without a voice need to be heard. The taliban cannot quiet her. Nonviolence is one of the World’s greatest traditions. Education is one of the most important human rights. Yousafzai is able to support these claims with the way she speaks. She is splendid at using rhetoric, persuasive language with techniques like figures of speech. Malala Yousafzai uses repetition, pathos, and ethos to support her claims.
In I am Malala it shows that she was willing to die for her rights and everyone else’s. When she started to go to school, she knew the dangers but she kept going.Her honor was so big that the Taliban thought it would gather supporters and so they shot her.Her strength was enormous she had to fight her way to the top so she can be heard.“We realize the importance of our voices only when we are silenced.” (malala) She also had to fight the fear of the threats.“The extremists are afraid of books and pens, the power of education frightens them. they are afraid of women.” (malala)
John Proctor made the right choice when he decided to sacrifice his life in order to recover his self-respect and integrity - opposed to the alternative of sacrificing his dignity to live a life he would have been miserable with. He is able to redeem himself while defying the court he knows to be unprincipled at the same time just as Arthur Miller defied the HUAC in the panic of anti-communists. Proctor died content with his soul instead of continuing to live his life in anguish and

In The Crucible, John Proctor, a farmer and village commoner, stood up for his principles. He had committed adultery and had absolutely no intentions of joining in the witch trials unless his pregnant wife were to also get involved. After his wife was accused of being a witch, he decides that he cannot accept the lie or the law any longer. Proctor is a good and noble man and because of this he believes at first he can't be hanged and die a martyr when he has this sin blooming over him every waking moment.
The most important trait to prove that John Proctor was a good person was his honesty. In every scene in the play that John Proctor is in, his commendable honesty stands out. It didn't matter how much trouble he would bring himself into, his philosophy was "I may speak my heart" (Miller, p.30). Proctor's honesty eventually lead to his downfall and death.
Through the right and wrong choices John Proctor made when it came to some very difficult decisions in his life, we learn that best decisions in life are sometimes the ones that bring us hardship. Human nature causes one to lie to save them from going through the difficult part of a situation but in the process usually adds to the circumstance that made them lie in the first place. The decisions a person makes in life reveals what type of person they truly are when all is said and done.

The Talibans continue to make their impact as well, dangering many innocent people.

When pressured to falsely confess to witchcraft to preserve his reputation and avoid execution, Proctor grapples with his conscience. In Act IV, as he goes back and forth with the decision to sign a false confession, Proctor exclaims, "Because it is my name! Because I cannot have another in my life!
In the crucible of Salem's madness, innocence is tested throughout the story, truth is bent, and lives are forever altered. In Arthur Miller’s The Crucible, many characters are tested and have noble qualities that exemplify them as tragic heroes. John Proctor is the most respectable character among them all as he uses his characteristics of honesty and compassion to qualify him as the best tragic hero. He portrays his honesty by explaining to the town of Salem the girls have been lying from the start. He eventually brings this honesty to death as he refuses to agree with the court and is hung for it.
Malala Yousafzai gives a speech at the United Nations. The terrorist attack made her a strong person, although she is young. She did not give a speech for revenge, however, she finds that talking about the importance of receiving education for all people at the time of the shooting.
