Question

Then write a fictitious diary entry or letter of about 200 words. Make sure you reflect the feelings of someone living in Salem during the trials. You will need to pretend you are a person who witnessed the trials. Make up a name and an age. You can use the following questions to help develop your character. You don’t need to answer every question, but thinking about the questions can be useful.

What is your character’s name?
How old is your character?
Is your character rich? Poor? In between?
Is your character among the accused? The accusers? Or simply a witness to the events?
How does your character feel about these events? What does your character fear most? What does your character want most?
What details of the events stand out most in your character’s mind?
What does your character think will happen next?

I gave up all points for this so it has to has to good.

Answer 1

I took the other answer and edited it a little bit to how I like it so anyone can choose whichever one they would like to use.

My name is Kaitlyn and I am twenty-nine years old. I am a very rich and young millionaire. I believe that most of the trials are not fair. I have witnessed a lot of the events that have happened; no person on this Earth should be accused of acts they did not do. The only thing I fear is getting accused of acts I did not do and loosing all my money. All of the events hurt me and worry me. How can a person hang women with no remorse? How do they sleep at night and go on with life? The women are just screaming for help while struggling to try to get out. When they hang them their neck snaps and they drop and just hang moving side to side. When they burn them they scream in pain and then go up in ashes. All of that is to much. There needs to be a change. So I will use my money to make a movement to end all witch trials.
