F.I.N.D. BLOG POST

One fact about "The Crucible" is that the people in Salem were all turned against each other and they were all blaming each other with no justification. While reading "The Crucible" I felt confused as to why a whole town would base off their accusations on a declaration made by a couple of teenage girls. They blamed people for unjustified reasons and worst of all was that they had no proof to prove that their statement was correct. A new idea I learned by reading "The Crucible" was that the Salem witch Trials wasn't the only time that scapegoating took place in the United States. The Red Scare also took place in the 1950's and this was the event that had Non- Communists driving out Communists. People would blame their neighbors, people they've known their whole life, it had America against itself once again. A decision that I will make based on my understanding of "The Crucible" is that I will think before judging other because it may cause innocent people unfair consequences.
