The whole Salem trials started because he ended there secret relationship because he loved his wife and didn't want to commit adultery anymore.

"contention"


The word I chose is Contention I chose this word because It means stressed. This word is important to this book because there is a lot to be stressed about at this time. There are people and families being torn apart. I would be really stressed if something like the Salem witch trials went through my town and took my family away.

critical words


The character I picked is Abigail I chose the word mischeif I have chosen this word because I think that Abigail is very mischevious in here ways.Like in the beginning of our book she tricks people into thinking other people are witches.She also is mischevious when she annoyingly tries to get with Goody Proctor she is being mischevious trying to do that behind Elizabeths back.

cruel salem

Salem oh Salem
you are so cruel
why do you
harm the innocent

but let the guilty go free
the innocent stand ground
and are hung to death
but you let the guilty walk?
