Young man leaves home, letter returns
Boy goes in, man comes out.
Dirty triple deked him like Datsyuk.
All lost, no possession, pure happiness.
Mind gone, no feeling, just thoughts.
Unknown brother, we will meet someday.

John Proctor: Hero or Stooge?
I believe John Proctor to be a hero in The Crucible. He is a hard working man who has been dragged into the Salem witch situation. He, up to this point has stepped in to save his accused wife who was falsely accused due to people disliking her. There's is no doubting that John Proctor is the innocent man-dime, farm boy hero in this story. By definition a stooge is someone who is used by others. John Proctor does not fit this description. He is not working for anyone, he simply just wants his wife back and the situation to be over. He also wants his past with Abigail to be erased. John Proctor is the hero in this story.

There Goes the Neighborhood
In the perspective of the American Indians when the explorers first arrived on the land, it was probably a lot of shock an awe. They came in on big ships with metal weapons and armor, things the Indians had never seen before. Some were probably afraid of these men but some were probably welcoming because they seemed like more advanced beings than they were. They had wood spikes as weapons and canoes as boats. However, this was likely to have changed after the explorers used the Indians for resources and slaves as they fought back against the explorers who captured and imprisoned them. This was not the way to go however, as the explorers soon followed with a counter attack of their own killing a lot of Indians and taking more as servants. In modern times now two communities coming together bring two new cultures and show what its like in another persons culture. Hardships that may occur would be a clash of which group is better, which has a better religion, better culture, and just difficulty coming together as one.

ME
My name is Erik Glascott and I was born in Chicago. I have a rather large family consisting of a Mom, Dad, and 6 kids. I have twin older brother and sister that are 16 and both attend Lane tech. I am the 3rd oldest in my family. I have a younger brother Ian who is 13, a younger sister Lauren who is 10, and a younger brother Emmett who is 8. The all attend Audubon Elementary which is also my old school. My Dads name is Tim Glascott A.K.A "The Maverick" and my Moms name is Eva. I play a multitude of sports but my main sport is football. I have been playing football my whole life. I have loved football since it was introduced to me at birth by my father who played Semi-Pro football. I had a rubber football when I was little and would sprint through the house in my diaper and only my diaper running and jumping. I have many nicknames. Some include Glascott,Wheels, Iggy/iggs, and Beef. I was a really chubby baby that is why my nickname is Beef. My Family owns a bar called Glascott's in Lincoln Park. I have an extreme fear of needles so getting shots at the doctor is a horrible experience. I would cry up until 7th grade and now I get very afraid and freak out. I enjoy long walks on the beach and expensive cheese. My best friends name is Marcus and he goes to Notre Dame high school. He is on his way to becoming a professional baseball player. My fantasy football team is terrible. I enjoy having fun.
