1. At first I was a little startled to read about this location. So much darkness and lies that the community of Salem had. everyone seemed to know what was going on, but didn't want to speak. I, in that case, felt scared of the act of witchcraft. The thought of being involved in the acts and duties of Satan just isn't a normal thing to do. A few weeks before the incident I felt angry and would let that anger out on the merchants. I was low in my mind, so I tried to turn to God, but the thought of God lightly faded away. this is where I made the biggest mistake of my life. I ended up stabbing someone by letting Satan control me.
2. The difference in The Crucible is that the two main characters are Mr. Proctor and Mrs. Proctor. In the witch trials it involves 25 people.
3. Caporael's theory is why the the Salem trials took place. The theory makes a really good argument and makes sense. Before the Salem trials the had incidents going on. people where poisoning each other. this led to horrible hangings and unexplained death. It did something to there minds.
4. The similarities of the McCarthyism and the Salem witch trials are that the public had a pressured a lot of the people and a unjust accusation. In millers decription the people on the spotlight where pressured hard by the public. during the McCarthyism trial, people would blame others, to take of pressure they had off of themselves.
5 In the "red scare" people didn't know what was the reason of those unexplained incidents. they would put the blame on people to make it believable and to actually record them to close a particular file.
6. during each of the events, their was a great hysteria that rose from problems in the society. In the '' human rights '' article and in the Salem witch trials along with the holocaust, many people died from being afraid of ''something''; however, in the red scare and the internment of the Japanese camps, people were not killed and stood up for there rights for the citizens.
7 George Santayana quote defined if we cannot learn from the mistakes in the Salem witch trial then eventually there will be more cases but in different occasions and forms. learning from history gives us the knowledge to understand the mistakes that happened in the passed. We can look back to study and figure out ways to prevent similar occasions. I thinks its a pretty successful because it gives the readers accurate knowledge about the bad incidents in the 1600s
8 I think the holocaust is a perfect example because Hitler needed someone to blame about the Germans financial crisis. In this case the Jews were the one to blame.
9. I find it interesting that the cases in the 1600s where and could be corrupted and people really could not do anything about it.
