Journal Entry #1

   
           To think that all used to be good and well in this village until Parris' family and some of their friends decide to play with the devil and bring him to our village.  All of those girls should be ashamed of themselves as they all had an effort in bringing the devil to us all.  And to hear that Abigail is associated with this just makes me care less of her.
           From what I've been hearing from around town, Parris discovered his daughter, niece, and several other girls dancing in the woods conjuring up spirits.  Now his daughter Betty has fallen asleep for quite sometime and hasn't awoken since.  It just goes to show you that there's in fact witchcraft upon those girls.  If it weren't for them fooling around in the woods late at night, the whole village probably wouldn't be in such a big scare.
           Knowing Parris, he's probably going to do something in order to keep his name from being tarnished as much as it already is.  Him and his family are nothing but trouble.  Since they're most likely the source of the devil coming to Salem, I'm gonna have to do my best to protect my wife Mary.  The other men of the village must do the same.  No one is safe with the devil lurking around.  This all just goes right back to Abigail, Betty, and those girls just fooling around in the woods.  If they were within the confinements of the village, this wouldn't be such a problem.
