Reflection on HUAC

http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/USAhuac.htm


Basically this organization was created to bring America back to normality. People were freaking out that communists were leaking into America, and were going to take over the country. What started as interrogating political parties, soon escaladed into into anyone who was said to be a communist. This ranged from Hollywood, to normal households and business'. No one was excused from the investigation of the HUAC.

This is wrong much like how things happened in the Crucible. It was so twisted, you either confess to be left alone, or put the blame on someone else and be set free. Even if you were a communist, it was ignored if you gave up more peoples names for the government and you were set free. After a while, you could just say whom ever you wanted to and HUAC would believe you. This was wrong because many innocent people were convicted of being communists and were put on the black list which ended up ruining their lives over a stupid little rumor.

My fire and brimstone sermon

How dare you, call yourself Christians when you know of how sinful you are. The fiery gates of hell will open you with open arms if you don't look to change your ways. The God of all the universe will forgive you but you first must admitt to your sins, repent and never attempt them again! Only then can you hope to be saved from the dark pits of Satans realm. For if not, your sin will consume you to places you cannot even imagin exist. Follow me brothers, repent, tell the Lord your God how sorry you are and beg him for forgiveness of your horrible, wretched deeds. Live with me in paradise.

Squanto!!!

Squanto was a vital part in helping the colony of Plymouth survive. After settling with the colony, Squanto showed the Pilgrims how to plant varies crops such as corn, how to catch fish, and hunting in the forest for food. This was done after the colonists had survived a tough winter in the cold. Squanto also served as translator between his tribe, the Patuxet tribe, and the pilgrims. Without Squanto the colonists would have had a very difficult time surving in the New World.
