the other. The two choices were to either live with lies, guilt, no name, and no soul or die for his friends and in an honorable and justifiable way. As he his handed the blank paper and pen to sign away his life he looks at his friends faces and reads their expressions like a book and some how he reads that why give your self away to the devil as a lie when you can die for what you believe in and with the people you love. He has to choose…, his choice was to die which was a choice to commit him self to his friends and die honorable, and as a honest man. He states that I have three children – how may I teach them to walk like men in the world, and I sold my friends? He says if he is dishonorable to his friends then this would be stuck on his back along with his family s, so

if he was to choose to lie his kids would not look up to their own father as a role model and he would not be remembered as a friend but as a foe. They would think of him as a liar and not faithful to his friends and family. So this is why he chooses to die so he leaves this world with him being remembered as honorable not dishonorable not only to his family but to his friends. As a result of his involvement, John finds himself accused at being a witch. After being tried and condemned to death, John refuses to confess and give them the lie they want because of his pride and stubbornness. John even though he doesn t want to die for such a pathetic reason, he is faced with the obstacle of being completely against the other condemned witches, and by his confession, becoming partly

responsible for the deaths of his friends. And the other route open for him is to align himself completely with the jailed witches. There is finally nothing left for John to do but debate on weather he should live or die. His choice was to die which was a choice and attempt to commit himself to his friends and die a honorable and hones man which makes his death true and justifiable. Revieved a 90% on this.
