When I started reading, my impression was that the whole witchcraft test would be quite childish and aimed at elementary school students. When I first took the test, I felt like some parts of it were somewhat useless. Then, as the test progressed, it started to improve. However, when I chose not to confess to something I hadn't done, I felt like there was a bit of a problem with these people's reasoning. They didn't let me say a word and, on top of that, the judges seemed to favor the girls and only their opinions. It was almost as if the court wanted to condemn many people to death or Hell, and allowed one young girl to be the ringleader. But again, as I was taking the test, some thoughts crossed my mind about the whole process and some thoughts of the people involved. One thing that puzzled me was why someone wouldn't be smart enough to say something while on the witness stand, like, "I'm not a witch and I love God. And I'm with the Lord." And then he begins to recite the Ten Commandments. Something like that would leave the court speechless, and the judges wouldn't know what to say, because it's the whole truth. But then another thing crossed my mind, perhaps due to the times and people's lack of education. involved. In any case, either the women didn't want to talk, or they couldn't think so quickly about such comments. This is unfortunate because perhaps if they had been able to be so witty with the truth, some lives could have been spared. However, it may not have worked at all, because when people are under pressure it is harder for them to think clearly. All in all, I felt the experience was positive and helpful. It provides a better understanding of what it meant to live in Salem during the unjust accusatory trials. The test experience was extremely real and made me feel a little uncomfortable due to all the questions and harsh accusations.
