With the latest craze of witchery and swirling accusations, John Proctor was easily indicted of being a messenger for the devil by the testimony of his disillusioned servant Mary Warren, who in the past committed perjury. The court who heard the testimony easily accepts it because she is a church going person, while John Proctor slightly deviates from the norm. This transfer of blame is also noticeable when the truth is first discovered about what the girls were doing in the woods. The girls were not blamed. The ...

II class, which would determine his whole grade for the semester Aaron, barged into his room. " Hey man. Are you still working on that paper?" asked Aaron. "Yea, I'm really flowing now (as he showed Aaron a computer screen with two lines of writing)" John said with a little hint of sarcasm. " Well, do you have anything else to do tonight, because I really feel I can kick your ass, to bad you have that paper to finish," Aaron said, followed by, "Do you really have to finish, cause Madden '99 is all ready to go."
