THIS IS MY 101TH POST ! *applauds myself*

I had over two hundred posts in the old blog, but this 'new one' has hit 101 =]

We watched The Crucible again with the other lit students on Friday again. I think there's a common hatred for Abigail the stupid bitch who tries to make everyone the scapegoat, including John Proctor (the poor thing) and his wife just so she could save her own life >< The ending was horrible because John refused to tell a lie and betray his soul to save himself and he said," I have given you my soul, leave me my name!" in a very dramatic sort of way.

I think the last part was supposed to be quite meaningful in a sense. But nowadays you can just migrate to another country, get a passport and change your name as and when you like. Oh well.. I wished John didn't have to die anyway.

The majority isn't always right because people can be manipulated and be made to believe in a certain thing that isn't always the truth. And when the majority believes in an illusion, it takes a damn lot of courage to be able to stand up to all of them and proclaim that you are right while they aren't. In this play, the truth didn't prevail because John died in the end, but honourably, because he didn't betray his conscience and soul. He refused to tell a lie to save his skin because he saw it as something lowdown and wanted his pride. Though he hanged, but in the end the majority was still on his side, so well.

I think Danforth is retarded =x
