Act 1

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.
