Mr. Kay,
One way Tituba could get out, I think, is she could just say almost the same thing that she did. She could say "the devil possessed me but now he is gone." She might even be able to say Abigail is possessed and she is accusing others from direct orders from the devil. If she wanted to bring others into the situation she could say yeah, they're right but so and so was there the entire time doing the same things I was doing so there's a good chance they are possessed to. Also, she could simply say another is possessed because most people then would believe you if you said, There a witch.I think I she would have told them the truth, then the Rev.s would be ready to kill her. Even thought I am sure that they would like her honesty, they would most likely kill her any way. Also, while taking Abagail's word over hers, I am sure she would sound like a liar. To be completely honest, she did the right thing.

Tituba could have claimed that she was made to do it. She could have said that she was told to do it or she could have lost her life, or just the simple fact that the "devil" made her. I think Rev. Hale and Rev. Parris would have acted so much different if she had not "confessed". They would have most likely hung her. I think it's unfair just to assume. You know the famous saying about assuming. They need to get the facts straight, then start pointing fingers. It's not right how they blame her because she is different. It's not her fault that she was from Barbados. In theory this could have all been avoided if Rev. Parris had not broght her back to work for him.

Another wat tituba could get herself out of this situation, is to lie again. She could say that the devil was telling her to and if she diddn't he would kill rev parris, abigal and herself. Rev parris might then feel gratefull that tituba was whilling to save his and abigals life. Therefore she must not be a witch. Tituba could have bruoght in the same people that she did before, or any one else that she wanted to. I Rev parris and rev hale wouldn't have reacted the same. They probably would have called tituba a witch and hang her. They wouldn't even give her a fair trial to prove to them that she is innocent.

I think another way tituaba could have done this is like say that it is abiail taht is possesed and that she is lieing. That probably would have gotten her out of being acused of witchcraft. If she confessd she could have also brought abigail in again and say that she was also posesed. Or could have baught like patty or somtin in to it to. Rev. parris and Rev. hale Probably would have hung her anyways because she wouldnt confess that she was possesed. Even though they would probably like her honesty im sure thaty would still kill her. They wanted to hang everyone that was into witch craft back then.

I think way Tibtua handled the situation was one of the only ways she could have gotten out of being accused. If she had
not "confessed", it is most likely that she would be put up for trial, and convicted of being a witch. Another way she could have gotten out of the situation was to lie about being a witch, or state she was forced by another witch, and give names. This is very similar to what she did. If she would have confessed, she would have brought all the girls in the woods into the situation. This would have caused each girl to give a story on why they were in the woods, and it is not likely that every girl would tell the truth. Reverend Parris might have accused Tituba for being a witch if she had not "confessed". Reverend Hale might have given Tituba a chance to "confess" as he did in the play. I think that Tituba did the smartest thing to get out of her death.
What tituba could have done to claim that is was not her was to say that it was the devil but he di not fullt possesed me. This would have gotten by back in this time because of the stupish acting and beliefs in this time perios. Either have said that or mentioned that she never was and that devil is now gone cause of the suspision on his people. I believe that if she were not to confess torward the act. Rev parris and rev would be confused and feel an untruthful vibe off her.

Mr. Kay,
Another way Tituba could have gotten of the situation would be to quit. She could have said that if she was getting accused of being with the devil. She could have broght Goody Protcor. That would be smart because she and John doesnt go to church. They would got to Johns house and try to get the devil out of him and his wife. I think that the Revs. would have reacted the same way. I also think that Tituba will bring more people in to the lie. I think that they will lie too. Just so they can save them selfes.
Another way Tituba could have gotten out of this situation is stretch the truth again. She could say she was possessed by another witch. She would, then again, have to state some names in proof. She could also say she way forced into doing it. This could be by another witch or the devil. If she were to bring someone else into this situation, she could have suggested that it was Betty or Abigail. Both of these two were accused as witches or thought of as witches. If she had not confessed they would have kept interrogating her. I think they would have reached a conclusion that Tituba was a witch. There wouldn't have been any other way to go.

One way Tituba could have gotten out was to blame one of the other girls that was dancing the night before. She could have blamed Abigail to get back at her for accusing her in the first place. It was Abigail who was the leader of them, or so we think. She asked Tituba to do all the stuff that she did: the singing, the dancing, and drinking the chicken blood. Although, if Tituba had not confessed, Rev. Parris and Rev. Hale probably would have said that she was the witch putting spells on their children. Then they most likely would have killed her. Of course they probably would have tried to force her to lift the "spell" that was on their children before killing her.

To get herself out of the situation she could have said that someone else was making her do it and she didn't want to. That would have been taking the blame off of her and saying that someone else was a witch and that the evil was really strong. That wouldn't be the right thing to do though. She could have brought almost anyone into the situation with her. If she had said that mrs. Putnam had make her do it to talk to her dead kids then that would have been believable. If she hadn't confessed then rev hale and parris would have definently had her hanged. I really don't understand why they would even say that because they are suppossed to be religious and not suppossed to think like that. They should have given her an equal chance and the whole forgiveness thing.
I don't believe Tituba had an alternate route because they would just be like "she's lying". They would have thought that she was still possesed and she was still the devils. If she didn't confess i think that she would have been hung. She could have brought down all her enemies. Like she can bring down Abagail for blaming this on her. Also, her "owner" which i think was Paris. Maybe she would get her freedom that way.

An alternative ending for Tituba for not confessing to witchcraft would be just to walk away. Another way would be she could have not said anything at all. A way Tituba could have got out of this situation would be to tell the other people who did it. If she confessed she could have brought anybody in the situation like Abigail. I think Rev. Parris and Rev. Hale would have thought Tituba was lieing if she walked away and didn't confess. Also think that she is hiding something.
They won't probably trust her, or the next time they are talking to each other they won't think she is telling the truth.

Another ending that Tituba could have used would be to blame it all on Abigail. Abigail has no problem with placing blame on other people. There has been talk about the morals of Abigail by the town's people and they would probably have believed it. This would be justice since Abigail had blamed her in the first place. I think if Tituba would not have confessed Rev. Parris and Hale would have thought she was a witch. She would have been convicted of being a witch and killed. Tituba was in a no win situation if she would have confessed or not confessed. It's sad because just because she was not like the rest of the town's people she is judged differently.

Imagine an alternative ending in which Tituba does not confess to witchcraft. What would be another way to get herself out of this situation. Or, if she were to confess who eles could have she brought into the situation with her? How do you think Rev. Parris and Rev. Hale would have reacted if she had not "confessed?"
I think another way to get tituba out if for her to blame another community member. The whole attention would have been shifted on to that individual. i think that she could have also brought reverend parris into the situation that he preached about it. Many people also would have let her be and shifted onto him. I think that if she had not confessed reverend hale and parris would have not stressed the situtation as much. I think that they would have shifted attention on to another figure into the community to avoid harassment of the church. This would have reprocussions onto rev hale, and he didnt want to get into it. I think that however, abigail is at some fault and should be questioned more.
I think another alternative that Tituba should have done, instead of confessing to witchcraft, would be to not confess at all, and would be punished and go to jail or death. Another one would be, lie and say she was a witch, and be tryed, and go to jail. Or to say that she was forced by another witch, and give the names. Although, that alternative is very similar to what Tituba actually did. If she would confess she could bring all of her frieds, and make up fake stories to tell the court, about being a witch. I think that Rev. Parris would have tryed Tituba in court, and accuse her, if she didnt confess to being a witch. But, Rev. Hale would have letted her tell her story, and prove her innocent, before accusing her. Overall, Tituba did a smart thing, to save her life.
if tituba did not confess to witchcraft i think another thing she couldve done to get herself out of the situation would be to just attack abigal more. like try to convince hale and parris that she was the one behind all this. im not sure how she couldve prooved that but then again she got accused without any proof as well. it almost seems like if you have somewhat of a high position, like abigal did, then you dont need proof, people would just take your word for it. if tituba had not confessed i would imagine they would have gotten much angrier with her and ultimately killed her. its so ironic how the tables turned so quickly for her as soon as she told that lie. she basically went from being someone who was about to be hung to being able to name off whoever she wanted.

If Tituba didn't confess to witchcraft, I think that she would have been whipped and then hung. Another way she could have gotten herself out of that situation would have been to say that she was possessed by the devil but that he was gone now. This would have prevented Rev. Hale and Rev. Parris from killing her. It would be pointless to kill her because if the devil was gone, there would be no threat to any of the people. I think if Tituba didn't confess, she would have been killed. Being during this time period were very hostile. Back then, people didn't take chances when they saw a threat. Rev. Hale and Rev. Parris would have had her whipped and then hung in fear that she could possess others. I think Tituba played that situation very well when she knew she could get out of it just by saying that it wasn't her doing all of those things it was the Devil.

Another way Tituba could have gotten out of it is by saying another lie. Tituba could have talked some crap and told some lies that would have made the reverends believe even more. She could have said that this was the devil doing all this and that he stopped controling her. Or she could have said that the devil was going to do something to the reverends if they didnt believe her. If all this didnt work she could have given some names of some people that might have done this to her. I think no matter how you change up the ending or the situation this was how it was meant to go. The revs would have thought that tituba was truthful and not making any thing up.
Troy Wojichowski 6th hr
Mr. Kay,
I think that Tituba could have done a couple things different. I think that instead of confessing, she could have blamed it on Abigail. She could have made up this story like "she had the devil's eyes, it possesed me, please . . . help me". I believe that if Tituba had not confessed, she might have gotten into a whole lot of trouble. She might have been tested for being a witch. I think that if she didn't confess to doing that stuff because the devil demanded her to, she would have been thought of as unfaithful. I also think that Rev. Parris would have been more upset and prone to do worse things if she had denied it.

Well i really dont no the answer to this question i dont understand what happened in the last scene. But maybe she could of did the same thing. Saying that the devil was here but hes gone now and hes never returning. She also could of lied about the whole situation. Perris would of never known and he wouldnt of been mad. They could of voided this whole situation if she lied.

If she didnt confesse, she would most likely be put up for trial, and convicted of being a witch anyways. She could of also been hung too. I think a way that she could of lied again. She could of just said she was forced to do it. She could put the blame on Abby or Betty or anyone else to try to get herself out of it. I think it would have been hard for Rev. hale and rev parris to find out for sure. They could have found out by test her. Also asking more questions to Abby about it and trying to get her to confesses
The only way I see Tituba can get out of this mess is by blamming someone else. She can say that the devil told her to confess or she would die. Basicly just lie about the ordeal. She probably would have been acussed for witchcraft. I think Paris, Rev, and Hale would have thought different. She still may be hung it just depends how she lies and if she gets away with it. If she convinced them shes not the witch and had a scapegoat she may be known as a hero...sorta.
another way of getting out of this situation is to lie. i think that if she lies to stay alive then she is pretty smart. if she was to confess to witch craft then she could bring as many people as she wants to bring in. i think that if she did not confess then she would have been killed. the people that were accused as witches had the worst luck. only the accused really knows if they were witches. that is my blog.
Hmmm....tell the truth? Accuse Abby of lying and say she's being possessed and 'made' her make the charm. That she heard scary noise come out of Ab's mouth when she denied her the first time. That she was scared for her life and didn't know what to do otherwise and beg forgiveness. She also could say that Ab was bewitched and spread it onto others. Yes that would be backstabbing, but didn't Abby do the same?

not sure about the whole snowday situation....looks like a bunch of it is turning into rain/snow
Honestly, there would be no other way to get her out of this situation. She should tell truth though, in situations like that, there's nothing you can do. Except for hope for the better, by speaking the truth. She should have brought the other people from the forest who were out there with them, as witnesses. If she had not "confessed", I think they would of accused her anyways. Just because she was a witch. They would of called the shots for her to be hung, right away. Without anyone listening to her explanation which is the truth. By telling the Reverends that the devil was in her was actually the right thing to do. In most cases it will not be, it just so happens that she will be punished for doing the right thing.

I think tituba handled the situation the best she could. I think though that she could have lied about being a witch. She couldve said that someone else made her do it. It wouldnt of been hard cause you can choose anyone you want. I think Rev Hale and Parris wouldnt of believed her if she didnt blame it on someone else. Back then, they didnt give a whole lot of people a fair trial. They probably would have ended up killing her. They wouldnt of taken tituba's word over abigail so they would have called tituba a liar. Either way she is in a tough situation.

I think she handeled in the best way she could. She was able to involve others which some pressure off her and more attention to the ones she named. If their had to be another way to get out it, I think she couldve said she was forced by other "witches" to do what shes done. She couldve mentioned how other people were their and did the same things she did. I think if she hadnt confessed, she would been put on trial for sure. Rev. Parris would wouldnt have to worry about his reputation beign lost. I think Rev. Hale would have tooken it differently than Parris. I think he wouldve givin her a chance to rid the devil from her life and accept the mighty jesus christ back into her life.
deets
I dont think there really could be an alternative ending. I think that the only way she could get out of it would be to say that the devil posessed her. I think the only person she would bring in would some random person from the town. Since abigail was participating, there really wasnt anyone else to bring into it. If she didnt confess, the reverends definetly would have killed her. They said they would from the start. So it was down to her confessing, or dieing. We know she chose to lie instead.

I really don't see another way that Tituba could have goten out of the situation. If she did not confess then she would look guilty. Abilagal made here look very bad and if she did not confess she wouldnt have been hanged to death. Tituba could have brought anyone into the situtation even Parris if she wanted to. Parris could have easliy have been looked at as a witch by Rev. Hale and if she had a good story everyone would belive her. Lastly i think Parris and Hale would have easly found her guiltiy if she did not confess to what she did not do. I dont understand why she did not bring anyone eles into the story about the witchcraft as it would have been super easy for her.

So, one way tituba could get out, was is she could not confessed so she could get out of the situatiom and trial later on. another reason, is saying that she is being forced by witches, or devils and giving specific names. this is kind of similar of what she did. but if she would of doen this she would of brought all tha girls that were in the woods wit her, into the situation. people back then didnt take chances, they just tried really hard to get out of the siutation. if rev paris would of found of he would of whiipped her or beaten her. Reverend Hale might of given her a chance, like he did...i htink that she is veryy smart and sneaky, it was the right thing.
steffie
An alternate ending would be that Tituba turns the blame over onto Abigail. I'm not sure but that would be kind of obvious. Another way she could of gotten out of it is she could of said that the devil had tempted her to do the such acts. This would be the most common among these villagers. I think that both of the reverends would have gone crazy if she had not confessed. I don't think that Hale would of had the chance to make him self look good. And i don't think that Parris would of liked to look bad. Also they might have killed her otherwise.

If Tituba had not confessed to witchcraft many things would have been different. If she had admitted to doing nothing part of the chaos might end with her. Instead of playing the perpetual blame game it could start to end. I don't think Tituba really didn't have another way to get out of this situation. If she had not admitted to the witchcraft she would have been hung. The people of Salem needed a scapegoat. Abigail needed a scapegoat and found it in Abigail. Because she did confess she was given the power to pick out witches. She could've blames anyone in the town for witchcraft and she would be believed. If she hadn't admitted Rev. parris and Rev. Hale wouldn't have given up and would have most likely still hung her.
Ugh..now that I'm done with 3 hours of lit and history homework...
Well, I really think confessing was the only logical way to get out of death. Sure, she could have just kept denying it, but I know Reverend Parris would still acuse her of it if she didn't confess. Then, at that point, she wouldn't have a choice of whether to live or be hung, like they were going to do before. I think, overall, it was a smart choice by Tituba. Even though it brought more people in, like Abigail and the other girls, it was the only thing to do to save her life. She could have also just blamed it on someone else instead of confessing that she met the Devil. The consequences would probably be milder if people thought she was being forced unwillingly to do things. I guess that would kind of be confessing though. What Tituba did was, in my opinion the right thing to do.
I think really wont be any other way out. You admit to it or deny it thats really all you can do from my view point. But if she admitted to it she would have brought down a lot of people. She could have brought parris into the situation. I think that parris and hale would have acted difrently by a lot. They would probably hang her and have that be the end of it. Or go search for other "whitchs" in the town. Both parris and hale seemed to care about their reputation so much they would kill anyone in their way.

She could have thought up a process that involves a story including getting 'posessed' and manipulated by Mr. Satan, and 'confess' the names of the accused witches.
Tituba could have broguth up Abigale and Merry/Mary and their plans and 'issues' with the townsfolk. She could have also brought up a possible reason for why Betty is bedridden, excluding when she kicks and screams to the Lord's name.
The Reverends might have been driven with more force to thinking Tituba was a witch even if she hadn't confessed. Its's a vicious cycle, and it took this poor Barbados woman for a terrorfying ride filled with lies and trickery.
And even if Tituba DID 'conjure the Devil', everyone was already being lead blindly by the Proctor's accusations. So there was already this sadistic plan made by someone who just needed a scapegoat.
To put Tituba's situations in as little words as possible:
"It sucks to be her." :)

There are several ways that she could have gotten out of that position. The most practical way is to lie because if Tituba had told the truth they would not trust her. She could have gotten out of that position by saying that it was Goody Procter and Satan that made her do the things that she did. I think that Rev. Parris and Rev. Hale would have reacted by labeling her as a witch. Then condemning her or banishing her.
One way she could of got out of this is just say the devil came out that night and did stuff to us. Then right after say i don't remember the night at all besides that part. She could of brought all of the people in the woods that night to the situation. And really anyone else because she said i don't remember any thing. First Parris would of asked for everything she knew, while proctor would ask who she thinks is involved or there that day in the woods. Also, both of them would of probably let her be cool and not worry she is a witch or anything. Plus, both would make ssure there daughters aren't involved because they don't want there reputaion screwed up at all. Last, they probably would of gave her a lot of power to tell who was there.
Ty Bouwens, 6th hour
i feel a alternate ending could have been that she didnt give out any names. all that she said ios that she is a witch and saved her from hurting anyone else in that matter. another way she could of gotten out of it was that she could of said that someone else was a witch and possesed her. not just say that the devil did it that there is another witch in the village.all that to get herself out of trouble of course. i think if she said that she was not a witch they both would of thought she was lying still. they also would of went off and hung her to at that time. they both would of said she is a witch and that she is lying because the devil is making her to lie.
She could have been like i am not a witch. She could have walked away mad at them for thinking that. Then they would be like, sense she is so hurt that we accused her she couldn't be a witch.She could brought Abigial back into the picture and turned the tables on to her.She could have also brought betty into the picture.Then Rev. Parris would have been like know way hang that bitch. Rev Hale would have tried to get the truth out of her. Then after she didn't confess i think they would have hanged her.

if tituba didn't confess to witchcraft the situation would have turned a completley different corner. she could have blamed it on another girl that was there. she could have said they ordered her to sing for them in Barbodos while they danced. she could have also said they were just having fun and trying to get rid of some stress. she would explain that Betty was just scared she would get in trouble for dancing when she saw her father, so she fainted. if Tituba didn't confess i think Reverend Hale and Reverend Paris might have acted more forcefully. they could have just killed her or made her take the witchcraft tests. if i were her i would have blamed Abigail of anybody else because she made her help her in the first place. also she wouldn't take the blame and got Tituba into trouble.
Another wat tituba could get herself out of this situation, is to lie again. She could say that the devil was telling her to and if she diddn't he would kill rev parris, abigal and herself. Rev parris might then feel gratefull that tituba was whilling to save his and abigals life. Therefore she must not be a witch. Tituba could have bruoght in the same people that she did before, or any one else that she wanted to. I Rev parris and rev hale wouldn't have reacted the same. They probably would have called tituba a witch and hang her. They wouldn't even give her a fair trial to prove to them that she is innocent.

Imagine an alternative ending in which Tituba does not confess to witchcraft. What would be another way to get herself out of this situation. Or, if she were to confess who eles could have she brought into the situation with her? How do you think Rev. Parris and Rev. Hale would have reacted if she had not "confessed?"
Mr.Kay,
One way that this oculd have happend different is if tituba said that Abigail was accusing people of being witches. I dont agree with how she ratted people out that werent witches.
She should have just said Abigail and left it at that. But, if she did say this, Parris obviously wouldnt kill his own daughter you would assume. So Tituba may ba\\have been killed for accusing her of being a witch. I think that Hale would have wanted her to be killed if she didnt confess because she would be no use to them if she wasnt going to tell who the witched were. Rev. Parris would hav definately ordered her to be killed because he wanted answers and nothing else.
Tim Wilson
The only way for Titituba to get out of this situation would be to lie. Telling the truth was obviously not going to work. She could try to put the blame on another person who was dancing and say she was the witch. She could claim to have nothing to do with the devil and that Abigail is confusing her with another person. She could have brought many people into the situation with her, but most easily, the girls who were dancing in the woods. Parris and Hale would have not believed her if she had not reacted. They would assume that Abigail is correct and that Titituba is just lying to cover up her evils. Parris is obviously going to pick his neice over his slave, because people weren't as open-minded back then. They were prejudice and jumped to conclusions too easily. Titituba probably did the best thing she could for herself in this situation. The truth would not have mattered. People followed the idea of "guilty until proven innocent" which is exactly what she is seen as in this scene.

Another way Tituba could have gotten out of the situation would be to quite. she could have said that she was with the devil. She could say she was possessed by another witch. She would, then again, have to state some names in proof. she also could have said she was being forces into it. I think Rev. Parris and Rev. Hale would have said that she was the witch putting spells on their children. Then they most likely would have killed her. then they probably would have tried to force her to lift the "spell" that was on their children before killing her.
Ok so I think she could have continued with her Abigail is lying thing... Although if she did she probably would have gotten hung. She could have just said "the devil left me after that night, he is gone now." or something along those lines. She could have blamed someone else... like Mary or something. If she told the truth she would have been hung. At least she would die with her dignity. Hahaha.
Kymmie Brownson 6th
I don't think there would be any other way then killing herself because really people were stringent back then. I guess she could try to explain to reverend Hale, but I doubt it would change anyones mind. If I were to blame someone else for being a witch, I would blame Abigail because she blamed Tituba for practically everthing. Any otther family that had fired me would be the first people I would think to point fingers at, but that makes me sound horrible. If Tituba didn't confess then Reverand Parris would still try to convince Hale that she was a witch to get the attention off of his daughter. Parris couldn't afford to have Betty confirmed a witch because people already hate him enough and his reputation can't be in danger. Hale maybe would have had her killed, but he seems too open to excuses and nice so I'm not quite sure what to think of him yet.

i think that Tituba could not of gotten out any other way. I think she had a pretty good excuse for being accused of witchcraft. But to get back at Abigail she could say something about her being involved. I think reverend Hale and Paris just wanted someone to take the blame. Paris was so concerened with his reputation and not having any trouble in the village. I think if Tituba did not tell that story she would of been killed and known as a witch. Reverend Paris and Hale when they found out seemed very forgiving. I think because Paris was reliveed and Hale just wanted the burnden off of him. But now more accusations have come out and are causing more chaos.
I think she handled the situation the best way possible. If she were to blame the incident on Abby no one would have believed her because she was a black slave. However another way she could have got out of it would be by saying the devil made her do the things she did. I dont think it would have mattered if she didn't confess. I believe she still would be accused of being a witch because of her color. Black people in this time had little to no power. I feel bad for Tituba and I hope every thing works out with her and i hope Abby gets whats coming to her.
Taylor wattles
I think Tituba did the right thing. But I think tht if she didn't confess it would have kind of stunned everyone. I think that since she confessed she could have brought abagail into the situation. If she didn't confess i don't think the reverends would have known what to do. I think they would eventually let her go and tried to find another possessed citizen. I also think that Tituba could have blamed reverend paris. I don't think ths would have worked because they said somthing about the devil not being able to mess with reverends. If i were Tituba i would have done the same thing, you always got to protect yourself.
I think that Tituba had no other ways to get out of the situation other than snitching. If she would not have given the answers they wanted, they would have kept asking. She is black and from Barbados so they would autamatically say she is guilty. She did in a way, a smart thing. Even though it spiraled way out of proportion. IF she would have confessed she would have been hung or killed. Its hard to believe they will lets her off easy if she gives answers, i think she will get punished anyways or killed.

Mr. Kay,
I know this is late, but last night when i got home from poms and hockey i was sick and couldn't blog. I hope that this counts then but if not then i will stay after on tuesday.
For the blog:
Its hard to think of another ending because then that would change the entire play. I cant really think of another way to get her out of the situation because if she did not confess they were going to kill her. I think when she confessed she should have said Abigail's name because she was there its not like Tituba forced her to come. I think that Abigail forced Tituba to come. I think that Rev. Hale would have tried to get her to confess because he wasent as agressive as rev. Parris. I think if she didn't confess that Rev. Parris would have just killed her.

Okay who's the idiot who wore their pajamas inside out and put a spoon under their pillow? This snowday is great and all it's just that I didn't want to spend my morning shoveling my driveway, go indoors for 15 minutes to find 2 inches of work crawled its way back there!
Happy holidays everyone who checks the blogs. What do you do on Christmas Mr Kay? Mostly everything is closed!
Mr.Kay,
Again I dont know what to blog on so i will give myself a free blog. For this blog I will talk about traditions. For every christmas me and my family icludng siblings, grandparents, parents, and aunts and uncles, we all celabrate together. On christmas eve we open our gifts and then on christmas day we all go to my grandparents house. We also have other traditions, like when it snows my papa always makes a giant snow hill in the middle of the yard. I really love the snow and the holiday season because It's fun. plus cold and I love the cold.
as i mmentioned in tuesday and wednsday blog, I.P. ban, and it wasnt oworking, oh well.

i think tituba could say that she is feeling that she ios beiong bewitched by someone else. oor she coukld have redirected the vblame back to abigal, sayuing she made her do it. shwe could have found out about the affair, and said that john proctor said to do so, or else.
i shall finisgh this l;ater tonight.
She could have still said the same thing about the devil posseing her. She could have also blamed other people like Abigail and say she talked her into it or something. She could just also just blame it all on Abigail and her friends. If she didnt confess it seems like things would be more unfortunate on her part. That Parris might beat her or something. I also think the same result would come from Parris if she blamed Abigail and her friends. Hale probly would also react negatively the fact he wasn't able to get her to confess or release the devil from her. So it would run his reputation along with Parris's.
