Ernest Hemingway- Six Word Stories Shorts

         Ernest Hemingway was an American author who dubbed in realism and writing about things as they were. He also liked writing that would make the reader think, like his six word story, "For Sale: Baby Shoes, Never Worn" What do you think about? I will list six, 6 word stories of my own.

John Proctor, Hero...or Naw?

          John Proctor, a character from the play, The Crucible is one I would consider a hero. John did a few…ummm…questionable things in the play, but his moral seems to be ok in the end.
          For those who don't know, the Crucible is a play based on the Salem witch hunts of 1692 and the hanging and deaths of those suspected of witchcraft in the puritan community. John Proctor was one who was suspected of witchcraft for several reasons. He had an unbaptized son, didn't regularly attend church, and didn't know all ten commandments (Specifically the one about adultery). This is ultimately ironic because John Proctor had an affair with a girl named Abigail, although he is married.
          You might be thinking, then who is he a hero if he did all these terrible things. What I like of John is that he acknowledged that he did wrong and the reason that he didn't regularly attend church is because he didn't like Parris, which is understandable. What I also liked about John is that when he was asked to confess. They judge/high powers, wanted John to LIE and accuse Rebecca Nurse of witchcraft. John however didn't do this and upheld his moral. even though he did some other wrong doings. John acknowledged those mistakes and was truthful in the end.

There Goes the Neighborhood

       The Native Americans, when settlers first came to the Americas, must have felt that these new people were friendly. Little did the natives know, a darker path would come from allowing the new settlers to stay in the Americas.
       The new people, who came from Europe were in search for new lands and territory. However the Americas were already inhabited by people. The Native Americans cherished the land as if it were a person. The native people even gave the strangers gift of hospitality. The Europeans though, were greedy and took what was land of the Natives. As you could imagine this angered he Natives since they are taking their land after they had even given away gifts. Even then, European settlers killed many Native Americans through disease and weapons, and took others as slaves, even though the Natives owned the land really for ever.
        To put this in perspective, imagine this. You live in your house and you invite someone over. You give them food, drinks and allow them to stay and use your belongings. That person after a while, eventually takes advantage of that hospitality and kicks you out the house. That person takes the rest of the family and makes them do all the cooking and cleaning while he assumes that the house is his. This is what is happening to the Natives during that time. This demolished the trust the Native people have for outsiders and causes war and conflict between natives and settlers ever since.

About Me

         My full name is Lansing Maximillian Champion(That grabs attention), but you can call me Lance. I’m a 15 years old and I was born and raised in the south side of Chicago. Some hobbies of mine are playing the guitar, bowling(When I have the chance), and basketball when I'm at home. I also one shoes, the Jordan retro line in particular. I can sit and look at them all day 

      One of my life goals and dreams is to become an automotive engineer. Literally since I was three years old, I’ve been interested in cars, their function and how they look. Some might think that's crazy, but Mark Twain says it best “The secret to getting ahead is getting started.”-Mark Twain, and I got started at three.  I could probably tell you the make and model of any car you see on the road. Since then I've always dreamt of building cars or repairing them. I even hope to own my own mechanic repair shop. 

       My family is fairly large. I have three brothers and four sisters, two of which I currently live with.  Most of my siblings are grown or older than me, so they live else where. However I live with my baby sister Eden and younger brother Aaron. I also live with both my mom, Kamaca, and dad, Martin. Spending time together as a family is important to me. One thing my family does together is travel. I enjoy this because I have a chance to see other cultures and how they differ from my surroundings. I've travelled with my family through most of the United States and hope to someday explore the rest of the world. 
        That about sums me up. I'm a fun loving, car enthusiast, that love to travel and play games. I hope you enjoy the blog.
