Dear Journal,
This town has gone mad! WITCHES, REALLY?! I've never believed, nor will I ever believe of such things. Where has this come from? I highly doubt anyone in this town has been "consulting" with the devil. I'm not surprised that Reverend Parris is going along with all of this, I mean all the man does is preach about hell in the first place. Who really wants to hear that every Church service? One of the real reasons he's going along with all of this is because of his pride! He doesn't want the town knowing that the pastor's niece and daughter were in the forest dancing and consulting with the devil. He cares more about his reputation more than anything. He's so unappreciative, what kind of pastor complains about how much money he earns and what he deserves. I could care less that he thinks I'm a sinner, I'd rather be that than go to any more of his services and hearing him tell everyone that they're going to hell! These girls are only trying to save themselves by accusing others. I surely hope that this whole "witchcraft"conspiracy goes away because I feel if this continues, things are only going to get worse.

Act 2
Dear Journal,
Today, Elizabeth has told me that she let Mary Warren go to town. I know all she's going to do is go to those crazy trials. That had to end, the last thing we needed was hose girls hypnotizing Mary, making her accuse one of us. If only we knew how late we were about that. Elizabeth also won't let go of the past, though I can't blame her. I did the utmost sin and I can't even forgive myself. I do wish they she would stop reminding me, I've already asked for forgiveness, what else can I do? Reverend Hale came over later letting us know that there were some suspicions about Elizabeth being a witch. As soon as I heard that, all I could think about was that twisted girl, Abigail. I knew that she wanted Elizabeth dead, but I didn't think she would actually make so it could happen. As the day grew long, the court came and took away my poor Elizabeth, they said that Abigail was stuck in the stomach by a needle by Elizabeth's spirit. I can't believe they actually believe that. She's never done one wrong thing, how could they possibly take the word of a child. I will not let this happen! They will not kill my wife, especially over something as crazy as this. I'll do anything to save my beloved wife!

Act 3
Dear Journal,
I can't believe this town is seriously taking the word of CHILDREN? Since when did children get a say in this town on what should happen to a person's life and if they're a witch or not? This is crazy! That whore, Abigail has the nerve to accuse my dear Elizabeth of witchcraft. They also have my dear friends on trial, Rebecca Nurse, Giles Corey, and Martha Corey. This is why I had to confess to my sin. It's one of the hardest things that I've ever had to do, but I couldn't let them hang her, I refuse to let my wife die for me. I wanted to forget it and never be haunted of it again. She's only doing this because I wouldn't continue my affair with her. What doesn't she understand, I have a loving wife and children. Elizabeth isn't the only one that's being accused, Mary Warren has accused me of it as well. She was so frightened of Abigail that she sold me out for her own self. All she had to do was stick to the truth! This town is mad if they honestly believe that I would do such a thing! It wasn't Elizabeth's fault that she lied to judge and told him that I didn't commit adultery with Abigail. She's never lied in her whole life and she only did it this once to save me. I don't blame her at all. I this so much and just wish it would all disappear.

Act 4
Dear Journal,
This is such a sad ending, but I had to do what needed to be done. Reverend Hale thought I didn't confess, only for my pride, but this isn't entirely true. I had to do what was right for me and my family. Those black dogs were trying to blacken my name! I couldn't let that happen. I couldn't let my sons grow up knowing that their own father sold out his friends for his own satisfaction. I also, needed my dear Elizabeth's forgiveness, that's all I've ever wanted ever since I committed adultery. Knowing that she forgives me and knows that I did the right thing, warms my heart. That little whore, Abigail definitely wasn't going to take that away from me. I did what was right, not only for myself and my family, but for God Himself. God damns all liars and who am I to disappoint Him? Aye, I could've easily confessed and saved my life, but then again, would I really be saving my life? If I would've confessed to witchcraft, I would've walked around town knowing what a lie I've told and everyone would know me as a witch. I've worked too hard for my name to be replaced and labeled as "witch." What is a man without his name? That's all a man truly owns all to himself and no one was going to take that away from me. Aye, I ripped that paper to pieces, for I knew it was all a lie. I believe I've finally found some goodness in myself for not confessing. They will all pay for the innocent lives they've taken. This town will never forget John Proctor, never.
