Last Minute Blogging.

        In class we are reading "The Crucible", a play about the withcraft in Salem. The title itself seemed unappealing to me, so the idea of reading this book was almost dreadful. I decided to look up the definition of the title because I had never heard of such a thing before. The definition is basically an object made of material thats usually used with a chemical reaction because it does not melt easily. Now here is where I am confused... How could that possibly relate to the story of the Salem Witch Trials? Any ideas? Because I have zero.
       As I started to read the story, I became some what interested in it. The idea of women going to jail and being hanged because other people are pointing fingers at them saying they are involved in witchcraft is unheard of. With little proof were women arrested in put in jail. I would just like to know, how is that justified? Lives were lost for the belief that they were some how involved in it. However, some women were proven to be involved in such actions and were later killed.
      I think it's funny as kids for halloween we would dress up as witches and go around trick or treating. Little did we know that witches supposively existed in Salem and caused several problems in town. I know that I personally did not know very much about the witchcraft that accured in Salem. Yea, some times it came up in a conversation once in a blue moon but that was rarely. As I continue to read the Crucible, I learn more and more about the events that took place in Salem and it continues to fascinate me.
