The ending of the novel was a little shocking for me, but I expected most of it. I liked the fact that Samuel Conklin bought Tituba, knowing that Tituba would be better with him. I disliked that Tituba was forced to admit she was a witch. even though she was not.It was also unfair that she had to go to court. The judges did not give her the time to say anything except in the questioning, which made it unfair. The ending of Tituba of Salem Village did inspire me to go into deeper research about the Salem Witch Trials, and I learned that Tituba and the others were real people living in the 1600s.
I liked this book but I agree with Sanjay, it was very unfair for Tituba to not have a chance to say what was true. I also thought Mr.Parris didn't deserve being minister. He believed in superstitious things and that just doesn't go right with being a minister. If I were Tituba I would scream my throat out at those completely unfair judges. I know that's strange Tituba should of a right to simply leave the situation.
I liked the fact that the book was in the perspective of one of the accused witches. I also liked how Samuel Conklin bought Tituba. I overall liked the book. I think that Mr.Parris should not have forced Tituba to confess witch craft. It was unfair. I think that the people of Salem Village were too superstitious and accused Tituba for false things. Also, I think that Tituba should have been able to fight back, but the judges only asked her questions and didn't let her speak freely. I researched the Salem Witch Trials to find out more about Tituba. The only hard thing about it was getting lots of information. There wasn't much.
I loved the very end when Tituba is finally released. Though, it still wasn't fair that Tituba and many others had to suffer for something they didn't do. I also like the fact Samuel Conklin bought Tituba, because she would be better with him than with the Reverend Parris. I also knew John would be better with Samuel. It was not fair that she had to confess she was a witch, or she would be hanged. None of the accused witches got to argue or fight back, or even give their side of the story. I personally believe that was very cruel, for none of the accused witches had ever done anything to the town. Especially Tituba- she was a hardworking innocent woman! People only found her a witch because of how perfect and fast she could do things, and her bond with animals. I agree with her, if other woman in Salem Village did work like she did, everything would be perfect for them too. Overall, I really love this book! :)
The ending, to me, was a bittersweet triumph for Tituba. I liked when Samuel Conklin bought her for her jail fees, he would be a much better master than Rev. Parris. Why did Good and Osburne have to die? It wasn't fair that many people were punished for something they didn't do. Parris made Tituba say what he wanted her to say and forced her to say something that wasn't true about herself. None of the accused witches got to defend themselves- or even explain to the crowd that their assumptions were wrong. That was cruel and obnoxious(They thought only what they said was right). Tituba was only accused because she could do things perfectly and fast. How do they know how Tituba learned how to spin thread! And just because Tituba has a bond with animals doesn't mean she is a witch! Aargh!
I loved the novel "Tituba of the Salem Village." Tituba is my favorite character which is also the main character stands up for herself and other s in the meetinghouse to prove they are not witches even though we might have unusual powers. I like that every event actually came together in the end of the book where Tituba is proved to be a witch but after a year everyone with proven not to be a witch. One thing I dislike is that everyone in the meetinghouse was very cruel and mean since they were shouting "hang them, hang them all."
