Sir, suffer me to recall to your mind that time in which the arms and tyranny of the British Crown were exerted with every powerful effort in order to reduce you to a State of Servitude, look back I entreat you on the variety of dangers to which you were exposed; reflect on that time in which every human aid appeared unavailable, and in which even hope and fortitude wore the aspect of inability to the conflict and you cannot but be led to a serious and grateful sense of your miraculous and providential preservation; you cannot but acknowledge that the present freedom and tranquility which you enjoy you have mercifully received and that it is the pecular blessing of Heaven. This sir, was a time in which you clearly saw into the injustice of a state of slavery and in which you had just apprehensions of the horrors of its condition, it was now, sir, that your abhorrence thereof was so excited, that you publickly held forth this true and valuable doctrine, which is worthy to be recorded and remembered in all succeeding ages. “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, and that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” Here, sir, was a time in which your tender feelings for yourselves had engaged you thus to declare, you were then impressed with proper ideas of the great valuation of liberty and the free possession of those blessings to which you were entitled by nature; but, sir, how pitiable is it to reflect that although you were so fully convinced of the benevolence of the Father of mankind and of his equal and impartial distribution of those rights and privileges which he had conferred upon them, that you should at the same time counteract his mercies in detaining by fraud and violence so numerous a part of my brethren under groaning captivity and cruel oppression, that you should at the same time be found guilty of that most criminal act which you professedly detested in others with respect to yourselves. Sir, I suppose that your knowledge of the situation of my brethren is too extensive to need a recital here; neither shall I presume to prescribe methods by which they may be relieved, otherwise than by recommending to you and all others to wean yourselves from those narrow prejudices which you have imbibed with respect to them and as Job proposed to his friends, “put your souls in their souls stead,” thus shall your hearts be enlarged with kindness and benevolence towards them, and thus shall you need neither the direction of myself or others, in what manner to proceed herein. allow 2. In the Bible, Job is a righteous man who endures much suffering. AP English Language and Composition Page 1 of 2

DANFORTH (
considers; then with dissatisfaction
): Come, then, sign your testimony. (
to Cheever
) Give it to him. (
Cheever goes to Proctor, the confession and a pen in hand. Proctor does not look at it
.) Come, man, sign it.
PROCTOR (
after glancing at the confession
): You have all witnessed it—it is enough.
DANFORTH: You will not sign it?
PROCTOR: You have all witnessed it; what more is needed?
DANFORTH: Do you sport with me? You will sign your name or it is no confession, Mister! (
His breast heaving with agonized breathing, Proctor now lays the paper down and signs his name.)
PARRIS: Praise be to the Lord!
(Proctor has just finished signing when Danforth reaches for the paper. But Proctor snatches it up, and now a wild terror is rising in him, and boundless anger.)
DANFORTH (
perplexed, but politely extending his hand
): If you please, sir.
PROCTOR: No.
DANFORTH (
as though Proctor did not understand
): Mr. Proctor, I must have—
PROCTOR: No, no. I have signed it. You have seen me. It is done! You have no need for this.
PARRIS: Proctor, the village must have proof that—
PROCTOR: Damn the village! I confess to God, and God has seen my name on this! It is enough!
DANFORTH: No, sir, it is—
PROCTOR: You came to save my soul, did you not? Here! I have confessed myself; it is enough!
DANFORTH: You have not con—
PROCTOR: I have confessed myself! Is there no good penitence but it be public? God does not need my name nailed upon the church! God sees my name; God knows how black my sins are! It is enough!
DANFORTH: Mr. Proctor—
PROCTOR: You will not use me! I am no Sarah Good or Tituba, I am John Proctor! You will not use me! It is no part of salvation that you should use me!
DANFORTH: I do not wish to—
PROCTOR: I have three children—how may I teach them to walk like men in the world, and I sold my friends?
DANFORTH: You have not sold your friends—
PROCTOR: Beguile me not! I blacken all of them when this is nailed to the church the very day they hang for silence!
DANFORTH: Mr. Proctor, I must have good and legal proof that you—
PROCTOR: You are the high court, your word is good enough! Tell them I confessed myself; say Proctor broke his knees and wept like a woman; say what you will, but my name cannot—
DANFORTH (
with suspicion
): It is the same, is it not? If I report it or you sign to it?
PROCTOR (
He knows it is insane
): No, it is not the same! What others say and what I sign to is not the same!
DANFORTH: Why? Do you mean to deny this confession when you are free?
PROCTOR: I mean to deny nothing!
DANFORTH: Then explain to me, Mr. Proctor, why you will not let—
PROCTOR (
with a cry of his whole soul
): Because it is my name! Because I cannot have another in my life! Because I lie and sign myself to lies! Because I am not worth the dust on the feet of them that hang! How may I live without my name? I have given you my soul; leave me my name!
DANFORTH (
pointing at the confession in Proctor’s hand):
Is that document a lie? If it is a lie I will not accept it! What say you? I will not deal in lies, Mister! (
Proctor is motionless
.) You will give me your honest confession in my hand, or I cannot keep you from the rope. (
Proctor does not reply
.) Which way do you go, Mister?
(His breast heaving, his eyes staring, Proctor tears the paper and crumples it, and he is weeping in fury, but erect.)
DANFORTH: Marshal!
PARRIS (
hysterically, as though the tearing paper were his life)
: Proctor, Proctor!
HALE: Man, you will hang! You cannot!
PROCTOR (
his eyes full of tears
): I can. And there’s your first marvel, that I can. You have made your magic now, for now, I do think I see some shred of goodness in John Proctor. Not enough to weave a banner with, but white enough to keep it from such dogs. (
Elizabeth, in a burst of terror, rushes to him and weeps against his hand
.) Give them no tear! Tears pleasure them! Show honor now, show a stony heart, and sink them with it! (
He has lifted her, and kisses her now with great passion.)
REBECCA: Let you fear nothing! Another judgment waits for us all!
DANFORTH: Hang them high over the town! Who weeps for these, weeps for corruption! (
He sweeps out past them. Herrick starts to lead Rebecca, who almost collapses, but Proctor catches her, and she glances up at him apologetically.)
REBECCA: I’ve had no breakfast.
HERRICK: Come, man. (
Herrick escorts them out, Hathorne and Cheever behind them. Elizabeth stands staring at the empty doorway.)
PARRIS (
in deadly fear, to Elizabeth
): Go to him, Goody Proctor! There is yet time!

Bowaon and Totoon
(Falsehood and Truth)
Once upon a time, there were two friends, Bowaon and Totoon. They couldn’t find work so they
decided to go away from their place to look for their fortune somewhere. They brought with them
some rice and then they mounted their horses. As they went on, they got hungry. From a distance,
they saw a coral reef. They got off their horses and headed for the reef to catch some fish. They
caught schools of fish but these were very tiny. Totoon forgot his hunger. He returned the fish he
caught to the reef. Bowaon got angry. “How will we able to eat?” he scolded Totoon. “Never mind
Bowaon, they are so tiny; they will still grow bigger,” Totoon replied.
They rode on their horses again. After a distance, they saw a dead man. Totoon asked Bowaon
to stop so they could bury the body. But Bowaon got angry, “Are you out of mind? If somebody
sees us, he’ll think we killed him.” “But we should show mercy. There is a way of finding the truth.
Well, if you won’t help me, then I will bury him by myself. You may go onward if you please. I’ll
follow later,” said Totoon.
Bowaon went ahead while Totoon dug a grave for the body. Then he carried the dead person and
buried him. He prayed over it then went on his journey. Bowaon could not bear to leave him so
he returned for Totoon. They therefore, set out together again. Trotting along, they heard babies
crying. They went towards the direction of the sounds. They found hungry baby eagles in a nest.
“Let’s stop for a while and feed the eagles,” suggested Totoon. Then Bowaon saw that Totoon
was going to kill his horse. “Are you foolish? When they grow up they’ll prey on you. Let’s go on,
we’re already delayed,” Bowaon said. “Don’t mind me. I pity these baby eagles. Anyway, no debt
goes unpaid. Go ahead, I’ll just follow.”
“If you go on with your silly ideas, I’ll not give you a ride,” threatened Bowaon.
“Then I’ll walk,” decided Totoon. “Even if I go slowly, I’ll still reach my destination.”
After killing his horse, he fed the eagles. When they feel asleep, Totoon left. Bowaon again
returned to give Totoon a ride. Far ahead, they sighted a palace. “Let’s go,” suggested Bowaon.
“Let’s ask the king for work.”
They knocked at the palace door. They were told to enter, but since it was late, they were not
granted any audience with the king. They slept in the palace. “You see,” taunted Bowaon, “if you
did not delay our trip, we should’ve been able to eat. You are the cause of all this.” They went to
sleep nevertheless since they were so tired from their journey.
After a while, Totoon heard someone calling his name. “Rise, Totoon, and listen: In the morning,
when the king calls you for breakfast, don’t eat at once. On the table you’ll see a pen and some
cooking utensils. Sit near the pen, and your future will be bright. Don’t be surprised. I am the dead
person whom you have buried. I have come back to pay you back the favor you showed me.”
Everything went silent and Totoon feel asleep again.
In the morning, the two friends were called for breakfast by the king. As he was told the night
before, he saw the pen and some cooking utensils on the table. Bowaon sat down and just as
soon began eating.
“You, Totoon, will become my secretary; while you, Bowaon, will become my cook,” announced
the king.
At first, Bowaon was glad with his work for it meant plenty of food. He would not go hungry. But
as time went on, he began to envy Totoon for the latter was not fatigued much. He thought of
smearing the name of his friend.
One day, Bowaon went to the king to report that he heard Totoon say that the latter would be able
to find the ring the king lost within three days and that the reward will be marriage to the princess.
Of course, the king got angry for he did not say anything like that. He had Totoon summoned to
his hall. Totoon protested the accusation but the angry king would not listen to him.
“Go, look for the ring then and if you find it you will have the princess for a reward but, if you fail
you will lose your head,” announced the king.
Totoon did not say anything. He got a paddle and rode far out to the sea. There, he cried because
of his fate. No longer after, he heard a voice. It was a fish asking him why he as crying. Totoon
unburdened his problem. After listening, the fish dived deep into the sea. When it surfaced, many
fishes came up with it, each one with a ring in its snout. Totoon looked among the rings. The
king’s ring was not there. The fishes dived again. When they came up, they were bringing the
king’s ring. Totoon thanked the fish.
Don’t mention it,” said the fish. Actually we are only paying the favor you showed us before when
you threw us back into the reef.” Then they left.
The king rejoiced that the ring had been found. He held a banquet. Now, Bowaon had plenty of
work again. He did not like it. In the banquet, the king announced the forthcoming marriage of
Totoon and the princess. Bowaon was very angry. There would be much work ahead. He thought
of a plan to thwart the wedding. But it did not succeed.
After the wedding, Bowaon went to the king. “Your majesty,” he said. “I heard Totoon say that on
the third day, the princess will give birth.”
The king got mad. He once more summoned Totoon. “Do you mean to say that you had an affair
with the princess even before you got married? You scoundrel! But since you’re already my child,
I can’t do anything. However, do what you’ve said—that the princess will give birth three days
from now. If not, you’ll surely lose your head.”
Totoon cried in despair. The princess comforted him by saying she’d talk with her father, but he
couldn’t be calmed. After a while, an eagle came. “Don’t cry, Totoon,” she began. “This time I’ll
help you in payment for help you extended my children. Get a midwife and talk to her. I’ll bring
you a newly-born child.” Then the eagle flew away.
When she came back, she had an infant, still dripping with blood. In the bedroom, the midwife
acted as if there really was a delivery. When the king awoke he heard the ones of an infant. He
was amazed that the princess did give birth. He forgot his anger. “It must be a miracle,” he
muttered.
REFERENCE: Ag Tobig Nog Keboglagan
Ag Tobig Nog Keboglagan (The Kingdom of Keboklagan) Part 1. Timoway, a datu of Sirangan, had a wife who was about to give birth. But he wanted to go to other places “to sharpen the tools” of chiefs and increase his income. His wife refused to allow him to go because there would be no one to assist her in her labor. But her husband insisted since they did not have anything to support their child with. So the wife finally consented. Timoway left the kingdom with Kasanggolan (a datu of lower rank who acts as an assistant to a higher datu) and fifteen of his men. At the seashore, he and his men got into a boat but the boat would not move. They took this as a sign that a sacrifice was called for. Timoway then beheaded one of his companions and after that the boat glided fast over the sea. They dropped by the village of Sakabandar whose wife was also pregnant. Despite her condition, he also left her and went with Timoway. While they were on the deep sea, they were seen by Diwata Pegderaman, goddess of wind, lightning and thunder. She invited them to her abode but they refused. Pegderaman got angry and she sent out the wind and the thunder. Big waves appeared on the sea and their vessel broke into two. They all perished. The boat, although broken and with no passengers, sailed back to Sirangan and informed Timoway’s wife of the incident. The wife wept copiously until she felt labor pains. She gave birth to a baby boy, at the same time that the wife of Sakabandar also gave birth to a baby boy. Part 2. Timoway’s son (Taake) grew fast at night and became handsomer at daytime. At seven months, Taake cried aloud without stopping and this disturbed the whole population of Sirangan. “Gagongs” were beaten and so each one came to render assistance. Just then the baby spoke and asked his mother if he had a father; and if he had, what his occupation was, what he did daily, and whether his death was caused by an offense committed by someone. When the boy learned the real story, he was glad that his father had died without being killed by anyone. His mother later gave Taake the hook and line, his inheritance from his father. With this he went fishing in their own waters. With the help of supernatural powers, he caught plenty of fish. He was soon famous for fish. But a time came when he asked his mother for better clothes because he had decided to go fishing in distant waters. This surprised the mother since this was the first time he had ever asked for clothes. He told her he was ashamed to have no decent clothes whenever he met some Visayan or Muslim girls. Thus clothed he ventured out to fish again. This time he drifted to the deep sea. There he saw a fish as big as a hill with golden scales. He hooked the fish but it fought fiercely. It pulled him for seven months. In the seventh month Taake heard the explosions and roar of the big waves. He was then on the deep sea. An eel barred his way. The eel told him to go home for the place was dangerous and added that it was willing to conduct him home back to Sirangan. He strucked the eel instead with his sword and the eel drowned. Big waves came and later Taake lost his balance and fell into the sea. He went down, down until he saw a horse with his hook and line in its mouth. He ran after the horse with his “karisan” (sword-like knife) but it ran away. Part 3. Here at Keboklagan he looked around and saw a high tower. He ran up the ladder made of golden rungs till he reached the top of the tower. There he saw a beautiful girl almost naked. When she saw him, the lady of Pintawan invited him in and offered him “mamaq”. They chewed, and day after day he wooed her. After seven days of wooing, she consented to his offer of marriage and they lived together. Part 4. The news about the coming of the Suban-on was soon known by two men named Towan Salip, Satoron Domatong. Angered, they summoned the people through their gagong to kill Taake and offer him as a sacrifice. The lady of Pintoqan, who was like a sister to the lady of Pintawan (wife of Taake), advised Taake and his wife to return to Sirangan. Taake refused on the ground that he had not done anything wrong. He wanted to face the datus and explain his presence there. But the people of Keboklagan were already preparing to kill him. So he had no other recourse but to fight, and he did so with his natural strength assisted by his supernatural powers. Back in Sirangan, a datu named Tomitib Manaon, son of Sakabandar, who was born at the same time as Taake, dreamed that he saw a Suban-on fighting alone in the Keboklagan kingdom. He prepared to set off in order to help him. He went to see if Taake was at home but the sons of Balo Laki and Bata Tobig informed him that they had not been home for sometimes. He proceeded to Keboklagan while the other two datus followed. Immediately, Tomitib rushed to the place where Taake was fighting and there charged at Sorotan Domatong until the latter fell. Taake saw Tomitib and stopped him. He confronted the latter and asked him why he had fought at once without first inquiring about the cause of the fight. Later, when the girls of Keboklagan saw Saulagya Maola, a datu of the place, they explained to him the cause of the whole trouble. Maola remembered a promise he had made to his sister, the lady of Pintawan, that anyone who could go up the ladder of “karis” (with knife-blades for rungs) be it a dog or a pig, should marry the girl. He then called all his datus to a conference and told them about the promise. Nevertheless, the datus insisted on fighting. So, Saulagya partitioned Keboklagan into two parts: one-half deciding to fight, the other half belonging to him agreeing not to participate in the fight. When the datu of Liyo-Liyo heard of the fight, he rode on his horse and went to the battleground. As the fight went on, Saulagya Maola kept on bearing the drum, the gongs and the kolintangs. The people fought hard while the datu of Liyo-Liyo and Tomitib Manaon were engaged in hand-to-hand combat. They continued fighting until all the people died. The Sirangan datus then proceeded to other kingdoms to fight further. Part 5. They first went to the kingdom of Dibaloy. They challenged its chief, Datu Bataqelo, to a fight. Lilang Diwata, sister of Bataqelo, gave Taake a name. He called him Malopanyag, meaning, “he fights in all places.” In this kingdom, Taake and Tomitib led the fight until half of the people had died. Then they felt pity for the place so they proceeded to another kingdom. They passed by the kingdom of Pimarisan because the people of that kingdom were their kin. They went to the kingdom of Todongtodong. Here, they were invited first to a mamaq session before they started the fight. They fought hard until all in the kingdom became lifeless. Then the conquering datus convened and agreed to move on the kingdom of Walo Sabang ruled by Egdodan Magsorat and Egdodan Sabagan. The eight datus refused to fight and instead they let only their subjects fight. The subjects fought hard, but their datus just looked on. The Sirangan datus were surprised to see that the men who were killed became alive again. After seven months of fighting, Taake got tired and fell asleep on the battleground. Tomitib fought alone. Just then Taake dreamed of a pretty girl telling him to go to the tower of Walo Sabang in the guise of Towan Salip Palasti to get their powerful medicines and amulets. He followed the instructions in detail. When he came back, armed with the medicines, the people whom they had felled did not return to life anymore and those cut to pieces died. Conclusion. The god Asog this time looked down and saw that the other world, the world of sinners, was very quiet for there was no life and no fire burning. He went down to earth and told Malopanyag to stop fighting and to return to Sirangan. Asog urged him to hold a buklog upon arriving home, where each of them would be given his partner in life. Asog fanned the kingdom with his kerchief and all those who had died lived again. The datus then conferred and agreed finally to go home. Upon their arrival at Sirangan, they saw that Taake’s mother was dying because of her pain in waiting, longing for her son. When Taake kissed his mother and told he was her son, she was revived. The whole kingdom of Sirangan came to life, trees stirred, birds sang, and everything grew more alive. They then prepared for the buklog. All the datus of the different kingdoms were invited and there they were given partners in life by their god Asog. Generalization A.
