He did not want to be remembered as a friend of the “devil” he didn’t want to have a blackened name. John wanted to be remembered as the man who gave his soul to protect his family and friends. Signing his name would mean he would be remembered for the bad not the good, John did not want his children living in humiliation, John preferred not to live rather than live with a blackened name. By handing his soul over Proctor believed he would regained his goodness, all the good left in him was his name, and he believed that this was the only thing he should leave behind. Reverend Parris was the opposite to John Proctor, he also feared for his name but not in the same way.
The doctors that entered Holmesburg prison viewed the prisoners as a “fertile field” of investigatory opportunity. Albert Kligman referred to them as “Acres of Skin”. Dr. Kligman’s research programs were established to investigate diseases and train residents in dermatology at the University of Pennyslvania, but in time, it strayed from it’s mission and began disregarding protocol and violating
Andy’s accusation was a little more wishy-washy because they had no hard evidence that he killed his wife and her lover. Though they are very different with very different crimes, they both fit an archetype called the condemned victim because they both live in a type of jail whether real or metaphorical, both of their crimes deal with life, and they both ended up with their friend/loved one who helped them through the tough times. Hester Prynne was condemned after she committed her crime of adultery and her punishment was to wear a round a Scarlet A on her chest giving the guilt a symbol. This symbol was her jail. A jail of hardships and melancholy that made her stronger and built an unbreakable bond between two people: Hester and Dimmesdale.
The nurses felt the same anger as the other women prisoners at their own lack of power and the same repugnance to be sex servants, and as women in the military they had additional worries. They were conscious of their duty not to assist the enemy, and by appearing to cooperate with the Japanese could have faced degrading enquiries and court charges in the after the war; they knew the Japanese as the soldiers who had inflicted terrible injuries on the Australians they had nursed in the crowded temporary hospitals of Malaya and Singapore and as the murderers of 21 of their fellow nurses on the beach; and they feared that even if they survived the experience and were not formally charged with any offence their personal and professional lives after the war would be destroyed. If things came to the worst, they wondered if an individual nurse could attach herself to a particular Japanese in the hope that he might protect her from the others, and if they could ensure silence among themselves as a group. When the Japanese told Sister Win Davis what she had to do or be killed, she said that she chose death. At the time it was not an unlikely alternative.
She lived from 1879 to 1966. She was a nurse, sex educator and an activist for women’s rights particularly regarding birth control. She actually coined and popularized the term. At that time in society, discussion of birth control was considered obscene and was illegal. She was jailed many times over the course of her life for publicly speaking and writing about her beliefs.
In Alice Walker's Peace essay, she uses her positive perspective on peace to embellish it's importance and how it effected her society. Alice Walker uses interpretation of experience to reveal her perspective on peace. “The most “revolutionary” often ended up severely beaten, in prison, or dead. Shot down in front of their children, blown up in cars or in church, run over by racist drunks, raped, and thrown in the river.” In this quote, Ms. Walker is explaining what she witness in the sixties. She is acknowledging that she knows that even the most innocent people were severely punished.
She then starts to mimic the actions and words of Mary; this in turn builds a solid proof in the eyes of the court that Mary Warren practices witchcraft. Abigail could care less of who she accused and sentenced to death, she watches people die in front of her eyes without feeling any regrets on her actions. In the end of The Crucible, Abigail and Mercy Lewis steal Reverend Parris’s money and aboard a ship because the town detests her and she loses her reputation in Salem. Abigail didn’t expect this ending, she thought by sentencing Goody Proctor to death she will live happily ever after with John. Lack of guilt made Abigail do contemptible actions, which took the lives of innocent
After confessing honestly to committing adultery against his wife, and refusing to testify against Abigail ultimately lead to his down fall. John was thought to be associated with the devil, although he had an opportunity to make a false confession, he refused to tarnish his good name and congenial reputation. Reputation was undeniably important and the fear of guilt by association was evident. People refused to be affiliated with individuals whose behavior was thought to be unscrupulous in order not to afflict their reputations. Although morality was apparent in some individuals, others lacked it undoubtedly.
The Hippocratic oath also states” I will remember that I do not treat a fever chart, a cancerous growth, but a sick human being, who’s illness may affect the patients family and economic stability. My responsibility includes these related problems if I am to care adequately for the sick.“ A great deal is lost in the modern world but health care practitioners and patients should never forget what its all about, its all about reliving of suffering and enhancement of opportunities for a meaningful life, not that of intentional termination of
The Ten Commandments were what people lived by and swore never to commit. Anything done besides work or prayer was a sin and would blacken your name. People regard how their name is passed around very highly. And as a result, if some one had blackened their name, they kept it very secret so as not to have the people know about it. This was then regarded as an even deeper sin for lying.
