Web-quest Witch craft, Daniel A. Greyson F.

Daniel S. Avis

Greyson Frye

  1. When I was accused to be a witchcraft-er in the story it was shocking, depressing, and that it would be hard to get dropped. It was shocking because I didn't expect it to be me, because I am a good man of God. It was depressing because I new what was coming to me, because I've seen whats happen to other accused people, and know whats coming. I also knew that it would be hard to convince everyone that I wasn't guilty, and that the women that accused me was a liar, and what everyone "thought they saw" wasn't the case.
  2. He was biased, he changed Abigail's age, and he took some characters out of the story. The most freedom he took was him being biased, because he read the historical witch trails and tried to make them play worthy, and had to make it entertaining. The one I consider the most minor was Abigial's age because it only has a little importance cause witchcraft effect almost all ages. Infants died in prison with their parents because they were accused for witchcraft-ery. 
  3. There could be a chance because there was a chemical in LSD called ergot and it got into the grain, and it just look like different color grain so it wasn't really recognizable. Sometimes people were paid in grain or food for their services. So I believe that if someone got paid in the bad grain, and feed it to there family, then the whole family could get ill and hallucinate, and think they were seeing their neighbors doing witch stuff.
  4. They were similar because the accused innocent people, and convinced them. But they didn't have a lot or any evidence to accuse or convinced them
  5. They are the same because during both of the times communities and villages were undergoing a lot of stress and which made they people act out against people who didn't follow the normal ways of society. The two time are different because of the things people are being accused of and the punishment that were give for these crimes. Also at the end of both periods many accused people that were still alive were set free and pardon(sometimes). 
  6. They similarities of the two is that they both were being accused. Between they're actions or beliefs they wre always being accused
  7. For the people who don't take the time to learn the histor will not know the consequences of happened the first time. We keep stereotyping people over and over. We learn from past errors to keep from doing it in the future. It was successful because it really gave the reader a mental image if how life was back in the witch trials days. 
  8. Early Egypt, if you wee caught with witchesy you were taking to the river to be drowned. 
  9. We were surprised by how easily the towns people where convinced that people were witchcrafters. Also how people changed their minds about their neighbors so easily, even though the evidence pointed to the convicted being innocent, and also how they thought their neighbors doing witchy stuff, like the stories they told to convict someone.
