Once in Salem, she was accused of being a witch and confessed in an attempt to avoid being beaten again. »Argument: The argument between Tituba and the examiner. “By confessing early, Tituba avoided the ordeal of the trial, joining with the afflicted girls to provide key evidence against the accused witches. »2 It was very clear during his interrogation that Tituba meant no harm to the girls, and they did not understand why everything happened. Assumptions: Many assumptions have been made about Tituba. Primarily, when people (especially Americans) hear the term “slave,” the term is immediately recognized as African American. was an Indian woman, originally from an Arawak village in South America.2Epistemology: I know what I know from reading this review of Tituba. The text reveals specific things about how people began to think because of each individual's fear. be linked to my other secondary source which speaks specifically to Tituba's confession... "Probably seeking to save herself from certain condemnation by acting as an informant, she claimed that there were other witches acting alongside her at the service of the devil against the Puritans. » Tell: I find this source very credible because of its exact cop...... middle of paper ......f everyone who accused the witches were all children in the eyes of the law. Thomas Brattle claims that the citizens of Salem Village are "blinded" by the children's innocence and claims that the chaotic young girls are simply "absurd." 8Conclusion: I think the Salem trials can teach many life lessons; by not automatically assuming that something must be true if it comes from an “innocent” child. If this were to be true, whether it be a woman or a man, the devil can and will get whoever he wants. I believe there are still possible possessions in today's society that are beyond a person's control. However, contrary to the ideals of the Salem Trials; Today's "devil" affects all races, genders and ages. In their time, race, gender and age played major roles in witch accusations and executions of innocents..
