Connection to Nature

I decided to observe the leaves falling out of the trees. I thought this was kind of like human life.Every fall the leaves die and fall off trees, but every spring new leaves grow back. Kind of like how humans go through life and die bur for every one who dies new people are born. Also, during a leaf's life span it goes through many thing, nice days of sunshine, boring days of rain, and rough days with thunderstorm. That has a close connection to a humans life. We are born, live our life day to day, some are good, some are bad, and then we die.

Welch vs.McCarthy

I think this video shows that the country did not like or agree with what McCarthy was doing. I think most people probably shared the same views as Welch, but were not able to outsmart McCarthy. He used tricks and scemes to work his way through his hears. He was such a good talker and overpowering figure that no one would stand up to him in and egually overpowering way. Yes, people stood up to him, but no one really did it in the right way, until Welch. Welch undermineded him and made case rest on what he said, not McCarthy. He spoke over McCarthy and did not back down to McCarthys interuptions and accuasations like others before him.

Crucible Reflection

Act I of the Crucible was very interesting. There was a lot of naming of names, lying, prejudice, and things being blown out of proportion. The lying and the naming of names went hand in hand. Abagail was never willing to give the whole truth about the whole night but was completely willing to say Tituba made her drink the blood, dance, and do all sorts of weird things. She also vigorously threatened the girls to lie. When Tituba was named there was no questioning before she got beat, she was beaten and then questioned. The fact she was black, foreign, a servant, and named by a well-known white girl caused quick assumptions to be made about her. The whole situation was pretty much blown up. It got way bigger then it should have been. But, I guess with the Puritan rules and way of life, things tend to get blown up.

Observation

Today while sitting at the computer thinking about what to write I noticed a flock of birds doing what looked like their journey south. The ways it which birds work together on their long, stressful journey intrigues me. I find it amazing how the V formation is actually all about working together. The front bird leads the way working the hardest while the next birds give encouragement to the front bird and the birds in the way back rest, having already taken the lead. I think this is the way God intended humans to work, all as one. Someone to take the lead and work with all there heart, but soon to be relieved. A support group to help and keep the leaders going in a times of hardship. Humans can learn many things from nature. The ways in which birds work on their journey south could reshape the way humans work for the better.
