The Crucible Beliefs

Over the past few weeks my English class has been reading the play, The Crucible. This is an amazing story that involves the Salem Witch trials and what actually happened during them. One of the main characters, John Proctor, faces a life or death situation when he is convicted of working with the devil and he can either confess and be set free or stay strong in his beliefs and be hanged. John Proctor makes the hard decision and decides to stay true to his beliefs and be hanged. I agree with the statement "it is better to die for what you believe in rather than save your life." The reason I agree with this statement is because of my belief in God. My Faith in God is very strong and if I was to be in a situation where I had to deny God or die for God, I would make the decision to die for my beliefs. The statement "it is better to die for what you believe in rather than save your life." applies to my life in many ways but the main reason I believe in it is because of my belief in God.
