SALEM WITCH TRIALS

I chose this topic because it has been interesting to me for a long time. I love this topic and i could talk all day long about it. The Salem Witch Trials began in 1692, a young group of girls accused a women of being a witch. People started to freak out, the reason they believed it was probably because when women act independently it seems like the devil has came. The first convicted was Bridget Bishop,she was hanged in June. In September 1962 the chaos turned into to trials. Bitterness began to spread all over town and soon everyone was on alert. In January 1692, a 9 and 11 year old began having fits, Tituba, there slave, was accused of this.

"I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating."- Sophocles

This quote means that cheating is wrong. Cheating and winning doesn't make you a winner at all. Honor is the best thing you can have, it's better to fail with honor, it shows what type of person you are. If you cheat and get caught, that can mess up for life. If you win or fail with honor it shows what type of morals you have, and it shows your parents raised you right. Doing the right will always do good, that's why you have to do it all the time. Doing wrong will not get you anywhere in life, so why would you do it.Choosing the right will make you feel good while you do good, and it will get you out of trouble. Doing the wrong will make you feel bad, especially if you win because of cheating. You have to choose the right because it is the right thing to do.

This quote means that doing the right thing might mean you have to stand alone. And even if you are standing alone you know you are doing the right thing. It doesn't matter if the people around you do it, it matters if you are choosing the right thing. Sometimes your friend might be on a different path, and they might be your friends, but it's your future. You can even bring people on to your path so that you won't stand alone. You have to be alone sometimes, although it might seem scary, you will end up finding people who will stand with you. Choosing the right is the best thing you can do, whether it be a small or big problem. You have to what is right because that will guarantee success. Choosing the right might be hard for others, so that's why they don't do it. But if you stay on your path, you can bring others into your path. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Even if everyone is doing it, WRONG IS NEVER RIGHT."- Russell M. Nelson

This quote means that because everyone is doing it doesn't make it okay for you to do. For example if you see other people cheating, you think "Oh, everyone is doing it so it's okay" so you cheat too, but your fate sealed when you cheat. You might get to the point where you cheat almost every time you have a test, you will end up getting caught. Everyone might be doing something but for you do it too just makes you a follower and you want to be leader. You can choose to ignore them and let them deal with there own problems or you can be a follower and possible set yourself up for destruction. You make your own decisions and you shouldn't let others influence you. Following others most of the time only leads you bad things, because you can't let others control your life. I prefer to be a leader since i don't want to be someone i am not by following other people. Another example is drugs, alcohol, and smoking, it can affect you if you fall into peer pressure
