Answer:

Because he felt guilty and believed he deserved punishment.

Explanation:

John Proctor is one of the characters in "The Salem Witches". He was a full and honorable man, married and had children with Elizabeth. Together the couple hired Abigail to help Elizabeth with household chores, however, John and Abigail had a love affair when Elizabeth found out she fired Abigail from her job. Abigail, angry, denounced Elisabeth of practicing witchcraft and later denounced John of witchcraft as well.

John knew Abigail is lying, but only tried to defend his wife, he accepted the accusations against himself because he had committed a sin, been unfaithful to his wife and put them in that situation, so he believed he needed to pay for his mistakes.

Proctor hesitates to tell the court the truth, because this would hurt Abigail, expose her as a liar, and at this stage he still has feelings for her. He is also at war with himself when challenged by his wife Elizabeth to tell the court what Abigail told him earlier

Commonlit Why Do We Hate Love?: Part B: Which of the following quotes best supports the answers to Part A?
MrMuchimi

Answer:

"Why Do We Hate Love?"

1. We hate love for various psychological reasons. Love can arouse anxiety and threaten old defenses.  In the past one could build emotional blocks that close off emotional feelings.  When love is showed to such a person, they can become suddenly saddened, because they feel the pain of not being loved in the past.  Being loved also questions a person's self-concept, thus, provoking identity crisis within.  The love enjoyed in the family can also make a person to find love outside the family difficult, as they feel disconnected.

2. A "...many people are unaware that being loved or especially valued makes them feel angry and withholding."

Explanation:

The line dividing love and hate is very thin.  For example, when sex is used as a tool to show love, hate may result if the other party does not approve of it.  This is why young men should be careful to suggest or apply sexual maneuvers over their lovebirds.  Love should be solidified before sex, allowing sex to result from love and not love from sex.

For this assignment, it is basically comparing the positive and negative effect of using technology to study individually. Just pick a side and stick to that topic. Here is two example thesis statement for both sides. Pro: many students have difficulty learning at the same pace as their peers, technology gives them the opportunity to be able to study at their own pace from their home and it also motivates students to broaden their knowledge on worldly matters in which they do not receive in a typical school setting. Cons: When studying for a test or simply doing homework, technology is not the best choice. Students need the physical interaction between them and the teachers or other peers as it will help them to be able to produce critical thinking on any matter, communicate, collaborate with others, and be creative;the 4 C's that are not always produced successfully when using technology as a source of studying. These are just examples. You can use any type of examples but, you don't want to make it too broad. Also, when making key points for your thesis or when making a thesis, always be direct. Never use 'I think', 'I believe', etc. as it makes it seem as if you are not sure of your points. If you need anymore help, feel free to ask. I did a similar essay to this when I was in high school except, it asked what are the pros and cons of using technology as a source of learning.
