Salem Witch trials

In my journey of the Salem Witch Trial I learned that sometimes it is better to lie and say you are witch then tell the truth and have to go to trial. In my trial the first verdict was not guilty then some of the people claim to be specters of your witch craft, and they decided to hang me with all the people that thought I was innocence. It felt horrible to tell the truth about not being a witch, but the lies of the other people gets me hung along with friends and family that believe in my innocence. I also learned that 25 people were killed during the Salem Witch Trial. 19 witches were hung along with 5 infants that died in prison. There was one defendant that did not take the plea deal, and was tortured to death. When the witch trials get out of hand Reverend Increase Mather, president of Harvard College said that "that ten suspected witches should escape than one innocent person should be condemned." It is also when Gov. William Phips grew disgusted about the accusation toward his wife.

SHATTERING GLASS

My opinion of this book is that it was really interesting and it made many connections to me and stuff in my life.

One of the best connections I made when I was reading this book was the way Glass was made fun of at first. Everyone was always trying to get him to fit in telling him that he needed to change the style of his clothes and the people who he hangs out with and pretty much everything about him needed to change. This same thing seemed to happen to me when I changed schools the first time, switching from the little school of McRae to Beebe where there was more people in my grade then there was in my the whole school at McRae. Unlike Glass I barely changed anything about the way I acted, dressed, or the friends that I hung out with.

This book made me think about my own life in many different ways.
