ReplyDeleteAs we see in The Crucible people from Salem are very religious and they follow what the bible saids. In the town a group of people have been accused of witchcraft mostly women and elderly. In Africa Kenya a “reporter” notice something strange and scary to him. He saw how a raging fire, he saw people beating her and bringing her to the fire. They were burning people alive because they were accused of witchcraft and that was their punishment. In The Crucible the story began with a fierd in the woulds and they also punish the “witches” of their town, but they punish them in a different way. They would whip them, senates to jail and worst they were hang. When he was in Kenya a young boy told them that the night a child had spend the night walking around and unable to speak, except one word witches. The next day he found out the the kid was suffering from epilepsy. In The Crucible Betty had been “paralyzed” but she was faking it and all the girls were blaming other people for what they did on the forest. In Kenya most of the people that were “witches” they were older people. In The Crucible the older women were and one elderly got blame for witchcraft. In Kenya and in The Crucible they have a lot similarities and this are the facts.
In Kenya there is the same thing going on in Salem. Witchcraft. People saw these pretenders fake. Knew they were faking. But would they tell? Nope. Why? Because they were too weak and scared to become a victim. People let their pride and fear get in the way of making someones day better yet saving someones life!
DeleteThe witch hunt in Kenya is similar to The Crucible. First things first, the witch craft is near Barbados, where tituba is supposedly from. An angry mob came to Joseph Ondieki’s house where he resides in Kenya. The mob killed Joseph’s mom. They heard thought and mistaken her for a witch within the witchcraft society of people. Next thing Joseph knows but doesn’t expect is his mother dead. In the crucible John proctor’s wife and himself got taken away and killed. But the kids/kid were left abandoned. No mommy or daddy. A shame, but I understand why most of the people got killed because the court and judges felt like the town was getting worst day by day week by week. They came back to burn Joe too but he escaped. Meanwhile, while all this happens no one helps. No police called. People felt like if they helped they would be become a victim too. Which is pretty accurate to the story and life of the book and movie the crucible. How the innocent die and the guilty stay alive who knows how that happens. Reverend hale in the crucible was the crowd that basically came to josephs house because in the crucible all he did was blame people. He said he did the devils work which indeed he did. The slaying of these hangings was getting ridiculous! So ridiculous the kids in Salem start pretending to be possessed by witchcraft. Abigail and Mary warren start lying and pretending to be taken over by each other spirits meanwhile everything was a fake. Joseph on the other hand had no choice but to be tripped on because he was the son of the so called witch crafter so he was already a dead man walking. But he lives and continues his life everyday being the child of the witchcraft.
