Witch One?

What is your opinion of this "witch" business? Why would adults believe these kids? Describe Abby in particular.

  1. In my opinion, this witch business should not be believed. How could drinking chicken blood, and dancing around help Abbigail kill Goody Elizabth Proctor? However, I do think the adults have a reason to believe the kids. First of all, the way two of the girls that were there are acting is very strange. Also because the parents don't know what actually happened so they don't know what to believe. Abby has been acting very out of the ordinary since this mishap occurred. She also has seemed to strike fear into all the other girls with the consequences that could happen.

  3. I think the witch business isn't real. I think they all believe it in so it's another evil they have to stay away from! They believe in witchcraft to try and find answers to their problems. I think the adults find It easier to believe the kids because then they didn't sin and they obeyed God and don't have to get whipped. Abby comes up with a very convincing story for all the parents to believe but the parents are still in fear of witchcraft and disobeying God

  4. In my opinion the witch situation should not be believed since they don't have proof. Since the parents don't know what happened, they don't know whether or not they should believe the kids. Abby is causing the other girls to have fear. She has acted out an the other girls are starting to worry.

  5. I believe that this is very insane. I don't know why the parents would believe them. I suppouse they could believe the kids because they might think that they are to innocent to pull off a lie like this. I believe that one reason they might believe Abby is because she is a very good liar and can make almost anyone believe her. Overall I think this behavior is pretty ridiculous and I don't think it should be believable.

  6. I believe that killing someone based on their beliefs is extremely wrong, but that was the way of life then. The adults believe that their kids are bewitched not doing the witchcraft because they want to save their own reputation. Abby is a very outgoing girl who wants things her way. She will do anything to get people on her side, and make them commit to following her wants.

  7. For me, I think the so called "witch business" is kinda confusing. To be honest I don't really know what's going on. I think they must believe the kids because they were the only ones present during the event. Abby is a one of a kind cookie. She's very intelligent but she definitely has a dark side. As seen with her intention to kill goody proctor and her affair with Johnathon Proctor.

  8. I think all of this witch business is fake. The kids are doing this just as a fun activity. But the parents are believing there kids because of here religion. The parents think it is a real thing, so they make sure they are following there religion. They don't want them to drift off of there religion. All in all, I don't think this is a real thing.

  9. I think the witch thing is not smart becuses if your a witch they kill you and if your accused of being a witch they kill you. The adults beleve this becuse there scared of loading land and there jobs. Abby is the the reverends niece which has an affair on her husband.

  10. In my opinion this witch "business" is kind of messed up. I don't really think it should be believed, but I guess the adults have no reason not to believe them. I think the adults believe it because the night is unclear to them. I think Abby is a very wily character, and gets why she wants.

  11. I think that the girls are making up all the witch craft stuff, because they re trying to get attention. I think that Abby wants the most attention because she is the leader of the group. She is making all the other girls follow he lead because she is desperate for attention. The parents should not believe anything that the girls say because nobody has any proof that any of it is real.

  12. In my opinion, I think that the "Witch Business" is not true because there is no proof that it is real. I think that the kids believe that it is true but it isn't. I also think that the adults shouldn't believe Abigail. She is a good liar and she can convince a lot of people into her lies. She is also very vindictive when she is crossed, that is why she wants to kill Goody Proctor. Abigail wants her dead, so she can have John Proctor by her side.

  13. In my opinion, I think that the hunting of witchcraft is taken way too far in "The Crucible." It is reasonable to be worried and frightened by witchcraft, but the town of Salem takes it way to far. If it weren't for the punishments of witchcraft the young girls who were practicing wouldn't be faking and hiding that they are not actually under a spell. I think that the only option the adults have is to believe the kids due to the circumstances. Witchcraft is hardly spoken of unless it is extremely serious. Personally, I feel that Abby is lying and deceiving and I wouldn't be able to trust her, yet I also know most of the horrible things that she has done and her peers do not.
