Read the excerpt below and answer the question. Proctor: I’d have you see some honesty in it. Let them, that never lied die now to keep their souls. It is pretense for me, a vanity that will not blind God nor keep my children out of the wind. What does John Proctor mean with this statement in his last conversation with Elizabeth?
He does not want to leave Elizabeth with the impression that he did anything wrong.
There are many that would die before they’d lie; however, because he has lied before, he can do it again if it means staying alive.
The lie isn’t as terrible since he has lied to her before; it isn’t as sinful to lie again.
He would like to see something honest come of it all, and it isn’t as hard to tell a lie as others might think.

Article 1: article 2: valido accused of accepting bribes unpopular conservative senator raymond valido (r-louisiana) stands accused of accepting more than $1 million in campaign donations from the nosco oil company in exchange for his efforts to pass a bill. the bill would allow the company to build a massive oil pipeline that will span the entire east coast of the us. senate colleagues on both sides of the aisle are demanding valido release his campaign finance reports. “if valido did accept these contributions from nosco, he essentially accepted a bribe and is now fulfilling his part of the bargain,” said senator michelle saud (d-new hampshire). the federal election commission saw no evidence of unlawful conduct in valido’s fundraising. however, if the senator did accept contributions in return for legislative favors, he may be censured by the senate. what is the reporter’s motive in article 1? what is the reporter’s motive in article 2? which term from senator nelson’s quote in article 2 is an example of bias?
