 The Journal of Rebecca Nurse

Today I am Rebecca Nurse, and I am covering pgs. 133-145   Today I saw an innocent man be forced to confess on witch craft. His name is John Proctor. I said he shouldn’t confess and that he should stay strong and keep his head held high. Things that people said about me were that I was not a witch, and that the girls were lying. One thing that I wish I had said was that John should have confessed because he has children at home, and that his wife needs him. I bet in the future the court’s will see how many innocent they put to death, and they will overrule the “you are guilty until proven innocent”. (JR) Today I am Rebecca Nurse, pages 25-32

 Today I saw a young girl named Betty ill. It was a very puzzling situation, no one knew the cause of this. There has been many rumors recently about witches, and witch craft. This may have a corrolation to what is happening to Betty. The things I said were about how we should be patient and not to go looking for loose spirits. Sence we have no answer we should turn to god for the answers. Instead of blaming others we should blame ourselves. The things people said about me were very conflicting, especially the comments from the Putnams. They want to blame someone for this to make themselves feel better. The do not like me, and its all over are land dispute. I wish I had said about how I can relate to their experiences and that I understand what they are going through. That could have calmed the Putnams down and maybe bring us a step closer to resolving are issues. I bet that tomorrow will get even more heated over the situation, and that people will be blamed for this happening. This could bring some problems to our county. ======
