So this is based on the play 'The Crucible'. If you've never read it you really should it's awesome and it would help to understand what these diary entries are about. It was originally a writing assignment for my American Lit. class but I was so happy with it that I decided to post it. I had to choose a character from the play and write a diary of what is happening in the play in the characters point of view. The play is based on the Salem witch trials so I hope you guys enjoy.

Chapter 2
Dear Diary,
She blamed Tituba! Abby blamed her! How could she do it? Tituba has always been so kind to us. She blamed her of witchcraft after Betty tried to leap out of her bedroom window. Abby said Tituba had made her laugh out during church and made her drink chicken blood. She is lying now...saying that she is protecting us but if we tell the truth I know the punishment will be less worse than if they find out that we lied. They might even dismiss it as youthful mischief. What’s worse is that Tituba gave in she said she made a compact with the Devil. She told Reverend Hale that The Devil came to her with a book. She said there were six names in the book, but she could read only two: Goody Osborn and Goody Good.
Abby started to claim that The Devil came to her as well and tried to make her sign. She said she saw Sarah Good and Sarah Osborn side by side with The Devil. The other girls claimed that as well and in the all excitement I claimed I saw them also. I had to; Abby would turn on me if I didn’t. And now Tituba will be jailed because of us. This isn’t right what we’re doing but I can’t tell, I can’t tell. I wish Abby hadn’t lied. Why did she not just tell the truth? If could I would tell Abby to stop all of this nonsense and to confess that Tituba and the rest of us were just dancing in the forest and that there was no bewitching going on but Abby’s clever lies.
Mary Warren
