We all have times when you don’t want to admit times when you are wrong, whether it be if you don’t want to blame you or if you do you’ll be ashamed. I don’t have any memorable accounts but that could be that I just chose not to, but I’m pretty positive that Danforth and Parris aren’t going to forget their mistakes any time soon. When Abigail their main witness disappears after they killed 12 people when Parris suggests parading the remaining 7 but Danforth said it would put doubt on his authority and judgment. Is it just me but I think there has been doubt all along? So by now I see only murder taking place in Salem. Then when John regrettably confesses to the crime he did not do, they ask him to write it on a peace of paper and sine it. He dose but then they tell him that their going to nail it to the church door, which back then was like a huge bulletin board. So he took it back from Danforth and ripped it into peaces and let them blow away saying.
“How may I live without my name? I have given you my soul; leave me my name!”
So he called up the marshal and was shacked to the cart and was brought to the gallows with other convicted people. As they took them away Hale pleads with Elizabeth to convince Proctor to take it back but she only says she cant do that to his pride. So him with 18 other people are wrongfully executed because of one persons horrible mistake.

It really annoys me when a person gets up on the power trip with their nose up in the air acting like their something special. The most common person I know that gets that way is my brother. He usually gets that way after he’s won his running race or gets something I don’t. Then for a week he thinks he has power over everyone and the world revolves around him. I connect this most to how Danforth was controlling the court room during the trials. The was no logic in his reasoning, he had his mind mad up before he even got into the court room. One of the times it with evidence of this is when he called in Elizabeth Proctor to ask her why she fired Abigail to see if John was telling the truth. She was asked if she had committed adultery she gave the most logical answer to tell that he didn’t do anything with Abigail. As she was being pulled away John told her that he had confessed to the crime but it was too late she was hulled out the door with out another word. Mr. Hale argued with Danforth to let it pass because it was such a common lie to tell but he would have nothing of it and called proctor a lire. Then when she is gone and the court room regains control Abigail starts telling that Mary has changed her shape and has become a big yellow bird which she said a was going to kill her then all the other girls follow her led. The only one that is fooled by this is Danforth how think it all true, if I didn’t know better Id think he was part of it all. So he clearly shouldn’t have any creditability, he’s so caught up in him being the one in charge that he doesn’t care what anyone ells has to say his voice is high and mighty.
