Crucible Reflection

I was surprised at how much I enjoyed reading the Crucible. I knew about the Salem Witch Trials but I had never done much research about them. It was interesting to learn about it. The people of Salem had very little respect for their community and other people. I was surprised that they would go against their religion to accuse innocent people. In my opinion, the accusers deserved to punished and not the supposed "witches." Although not in the same way, it is a shame to think that things like this still happen today.
