"Do You Believe Me Now" by Jimmy Wayne

Do you remember
the day I turned to you and said
I didn't like the way he was lookin' at you?
yeah
How he made you laugh
you just couldn't get what I was sayin'
it was my imagination

(Chorus)
So do you believe me now?
I guess I really wasn't that crazy
and I knew what I was talkin' about
Every time the sun goes down
he's the one that's holdin' you baby
yeah me I'm missin' you way 'cross town
so do you believe me now?

I'm kickin' myself
for bein' the one foolish enough givin' him the chance to step in my shoes
ohhh
He was bidin' his time
when he saw our love was havin' a moment of weakness
he was there between us

(Chorus)
So do you believe me now?
I guess I really wasn't that crazy
and I knew what I was talkin' about
Every time the sun goes down
he's the one that's holdin' you baby
yeah me I'm missin' you way 'cross town
so do you believe me now?

oh yeah, I bet now you see the light
oh yeah, what's the use in bein' right...
when I'm the lonely one tonight?

(Chorus)
So do you believe me now?
I guess I really wasn't that crazy
and I knew what I was talkin' about
Every time the sun goes down
he's the one that's holdin' you baby
yeah me I'm missin' you way 'cross town
so do you believe me now
yeah
so do you believe me now
yeah

Everytime the sun goes down
he's the one that's holdin' you baby
yeah me I'm missin you way 'cross town
so do you believe me now?

The song is basically about a guy and his girlfriend; he is telling her another guy likes her and she doesn't think he does. When they have a weak moment in their relationship, the other guy moves in. The guy then says to his girlfriend, so do you believe me now, and that he wasn't really that crazy and how he knew what he was talking about because the other guy is now with her.

"He was bidin' his time when he saw our love was havin' a moment of weakness he was there between us " - He had his eyes on her, and waited until they were fighting and then made his move.

"How he made you laugh you just couldn't get what I was sayin' it was my imagination "- She thought he was being nice and that her boyfriend was making up things saying it was his imagination.

"I'm kickin' myself for bein' the one foolish enough givin' him the chance to step in my shoes" - He is mad and feels regret for pushing his first impression thoughts aside. He wishes he hadn't been foolish and gone with his instincts.

"oh yeah, I bet now you see the light oh yeah, what's the use in bein' right... when I'm the lonely one tonight?" -It's not about being right anymore after the destruction of their relationship, nothing matters to him now. He is lost without her.

"so do you believe me now?" - He could now be asking his girlfriend this question, does she believe him now? If she had believed him would she still be with him? What does she think now that she is with the other guy?

My name is very important to me. Not that I always care what other people think about me, but my name and what I am known for. I like to be known as a hard working nice person or really cool guy. I stand for my beliefs and would die for them if the time came, such as this Country, my religion, my family. The things that make me mad is politics, coming into schools across America and controlling almost every aspect of our life. "My friends see me as a loyal friend and a really funny guy, also a friend that has always got your back no matter what the situation". "My familys sees me as a fun kid to be around most of the time, and a funny personality". In my neighborhood I would proabably be known as a prankster or whatever you would like to call it, because of toliet papering and other things. The Lunt name has always been a proud name and my Dad always tells me to keep it clean and to not do anything to bring dishonor to the family name. Although we do make mistakes from time to time. It is important to me to always keep my name clean like my father and ancestors before me I plan on not doing anything to bring dishonor to the name and keeping it proud to say who I belong to and what my name is. This is my name and what it means to me.

(THE CRUCIBLE) casting characters

I think that Clint Eastwood would play a good Revrend Samuel Parris because not only is he old like the revrend but he also can play a good on edge ,aware character. As well as strict mean and stern like he played in Gran Torino,as well as a law abiding, overall good guy. Also I think that Clint Eastwood would be good for Samuel Parris because he can play a ruff/hardcore character like he played in Jose wells.These are many reasons why I think that Clint Eastwood would play a good character as Revrend Samuel Parris.

I think that Beyonce would play a good Tituba. Not only is Beyonce a good actress but she has just a humble attitude about her like when she played in the newest Pink Panther. In the movie the Pink Panther some detectives view her as a suspect but she is a good humble nice person and helps them out as much as she can on leading them in the right direction. And in a lot of ways Tituba is like this because she is wrongly accused of something but she just goes with it and helps the men out with what she can, even if it means others are going to get hurt. Beyonce can play a good humble person but just like Tituba, don't be fooled by the humble meek attitude she may just start pointing fingers at you.This is why I think that Beyonce would play a good Tituba.

I like many other people think that Ashley Tisdale would play a great Abigail Williams. Because like she plays a good bad guy. For example High School Musical as Sharpe, she plays a good nice to your face role up front but in reality she is back stabbing you and does what needs to be done to get the job done. Also Ashley Tisdale would make a good Abigail because she can act really mean to people as well as play a good seductive role just like Abigial Williams. This is why I think that Ashley Tisdale would make a good Abigial Williams.

I think that Robert Downey Junior would play a good Thomas Putnam. Thomas Putnam is a rich wealthy man and Robert Downey Junior playes a good rich man with a lot of spare time just like Thomas Putnam. As well as Thomas Putnam is always accusing people of takeing his land and I think that Robert Downey Junior always makes a very good solid arguement with facts and most of the time gets what he wants because of his smooth talk. This is why I think that Robert Downey Junior would make a good Thomas Putnam.





I think Jennifer Aniston would play a great Ann Putnam. Aniston can play a good uptight character and always on edge just like Mrs. Putnam because all her kids died but one. Aniston can also play a good strict mean but rather serious character like she did in The Bounty Hunter. Also Aniston knows how to stick up for her husband like she did in the bounty hunter and do what needs to be done just like Mrs. Putnam.Over all I think that Jennifer Aniston would make a great Ann Putnam.

I think that Christian Bale would make the best John Proctor. Christian Bale plays a fantastic good guy and has always been the good guy in all his movies. Just like John proctor Christian Bale trys to do whats right like in 3:10 to Yuma Bale puts his life on the line for others. Also in all of Christian's movies he is always doing something for others and sticking up for what he belives in and i think that him and Procter are almost alike in many ways.I think thats what John proctor is about and I think that Bale would make a good John Proctor.

I think that Angelina Jollie would make a good Elizibeth proctor. Because she plays a great house wife but really cabable of so much more just like in the movie Mr. and Mrs. Smith. she acts inocent but really she knows whats going on just like Mrs. Proctor. Jole would also make a good Elizabeth beacause she knows how to respond to certain situations and knows how to act in certain cases where she won't care just like Mrs. Proctor when she finds out that John and Abigail had a thing. This is why I think that Jollie would make a great Mrs. Proctor





I think that Reese Weatherspoon would make a good Mary Warren. Because just like Mary, Weatherspoon plays a good humble character in a lot of her movies.For example just like heaven she plays a great humble, kind person and doesn't look at herself as above people. Rese Weatherspoon also reminds me of Mary Warren because they act like one another in a lot of similar ways this is why I think that Rese Weatherspoon would make a good Mary Warren.

I think Betty White would play a great Rebecca Nurse. In Denis the Menis Betty White plays a happy kind old Grandma and she loves Denis like her own. Just like Mrs. Nurse they bolth are a lot alike because they have many grandchildren and experience with raising kids. As well as they bolth are kind and get a long with everyone. These are some reasons that I think that Betty White would play a great Rebecca Nurse.






Russel Crow Would play a good Revrend John Hale. In most of Crow's movies he always seems to know whats going on or know something that most people don't like in 3:10 to Yuma he knows where to go and how to run things just like in The Crucible John Hale knows how to keep the village calm and at ease. Also Hale knows stuff that most people don't just like how to tell if its a Witch or not. Crow and John Hale are very much alike in many ways as well as they bolth want to be known for something just like in 300 when Russel Crow wants to be known for holding off persians. John Hale wants to be know for being the witchcraft expert.

The Crowd

The Crowd

By:Brian

A4 English

Have you ever been in a situation where the crowd is against you? And even though they may be your friends you still don't know what to do. I agree that it is a hard situation to be in as do most people. People that dis-agree with this claim probably have never been in a hard situation like this. Not only do you feel left out sometimes. But you may be worried about what people will think especially if their your friends or a cute girl you like or want to impress, and feel that your friendship may be on the line if you don't give in to the crowd or just go along with what everyone is doing.

Everyone always wants to be excepted and feel important. Hardly anyone wants to feel left out. Although people may use their best judgement at times or justify things to be right that they are about to do or have done, the peer pressure of other people is a major factor. Peer pressure from people you look up too or respect may have a positive or negative impact on your life, its what you choose that will affect your life in a positive or negative way. I have heard a quote from one of the Mormon church leaders it goes "show me your friends and I will show you your future". This basically means that who you hang out with and associate yourself around,you will become like them and do the things they do.

"Doing the right thing isn't always the most popular thing but it is the right thing". Like I said earlier the people you hang around will have a huge affect on your life. A lot of people do bad things such as drugs, smoking, drinking, etc. because they are around the wrong crowd and that is what they will become. I have known many kids and some friends even that have gotten into bad things like I listed earlier because they were with the wrong group of friends. I know a kid that has gotten away from his group of friends that were not a good influence on him, he quit the football team and is a way cool kid but has no friends because he got away from a bad group of friends and did not want to become like them and he quit the football team because he was tired of all the cussing and did not want to be apart of that as well. This kid is a kid that I really look up too, because not only did he quit the things he liked to do but he also gave up his friends and in my eyes that is a true leader.

When people are outnumbered they usually do what majority says or otherwise know as the crowd. The majority may be intimidating at times because of their numbers but that certainly doesn't mean that they are right. What would have happened if people like Thomas Edison and Benjamin Franklin also Joseph Smith would have listened to the crowd and the criticism they got in their lives, things wouldn't be where they are at today. There have been times in my life when I have gone against the crowd and yes it was hard but in the long run it ended up helping me. As well as times when I haven't done the right thing and went along with the crowd and ended up paying the consequences for that.

In conclusion I strongly feel that going against the crowd is often a hard thing to do. But in most cases you will be respected for it and it will help you out not only now but in the future. And if you stand up to people for what you believe they will probably think that is pretty cool rather than just going along with what everyone else is doing.These are the reasons why I feel that going against the crowd is a hard thing to do. Although it is a rather tough choice to make you will be respected and thats what makes you stand out as a leader.
