 The Journal of Tituba

Today I am Tituba and I am covering pages 8 to 20.

Dear Journal,


 * __Today I saw__** Betty laying on the bed in seep sleep because she was really sick from the incident which took place in the woods. She was unable to get up and she was also not responding to anything that was going on around her. I felt really bad about what happened to Betty but there was nothing I could do about it except just pray for her. When I went to see Betty to make sure she was all fine, Mr. Parris insulted me and told me get out because he was blaming me for everything that was happening to his daughter Betty. **__Things I said__** were "My Betty be hearty soon?" but Mr. Parris shut me up and told me to get out of his house right away. When Mr. Parris said that he was really angry and mad at me. While I was leaving I again tried to say something good about Betty but Mr. Parris won't let me. I tried saying "My Betty not goin' die..." and Mr. Parris' response to that was "Out of my sight!" and when he said that I had to leave without glancing one look at Betty. He then shut the door on my face and I felt so insulted. **__There were things that people said about me__** and one of the things was said by Mrs. Putnam, she said "Tituba knows how to speak to the dead, Mr. Parris." And because of that I got insulted and now people think of me as a witch and thinks that I am evil. They also don't want their children near me anymore. Mrs. Putnam also really insulted me because Im sure that I don't know how to talk to dead people so how can she say that. **__One thing that I wish I had said__** would be to Mr. Parris and it would be "Mr. Parris, I really don't want to harm Betty, I just want to see her and check if she is fine or not. That's it, there is nothing else I want." This is what I would've said but i didn't get the chance to say it. If I had said that then maybe Mr. Parris would believe me and maybe he would've let me meet Parris and had given me an another chance but nothing like that happened. **__I bet that tomorrow__** everyone will start pointing at me and they will all start blaming me for whatever is happened to Betty. Everyone will probably also start calling me a witch and send me to jail. The results will be that I will end up in jail. (JB)

Today i am Tituba and i am covering pages 121-123

today i saw the guard and sarah taking me into another sale and i kept seeing the devil. Things i said were devil take me home to Barbados; the devil is only bad to people here because its to cold for him; the devils going come for me with feathers and wings for me and im going to fly all the way home to barbados. I keep saying and asking the devil to take me home but he still hasn't yet. things people implied about me that i was basicly a crazy old lady who everyone thought was a witch and none cared about. one thing i wish i said it curse you all the devil will come for your sould and posses you that do not suppot him and the devil will set me free for supporting him and causing all this chaos.. i bet tommorrow i will be charged as insane and stay in jail permantly.
