1. setting and importance of trial
2. locate and identify those who were judging Wheatley
3. locate and identify at least three people whom supported her

Several scholars in P3 opted to make Windows instead of the paragraphs. These will also be accepted.

In One Paragraph, answer all questions clearly.

Ex: In Aurther Miller's "The Crucible" the setting of The Salem Witch Trial, which occurred in 1692 in the Puritanical Salem Massachusetts, was important for several reasons, but primarily it proved that a theocracy was NOT the best government. Another thing we, as a nation, learned from these tragic trials was how hysteria, fear and paranoia can destroy a community. There were many people "judging" whom was considered a "witch" or consorting with the devil and whom was not. Among these casting aspersions were Mr. Putnam, Mr. Danforth and especially Abigail Williams. However, there were several neighbors who supported those such as Goody Proctor, Goody Nurse and John Proctor of being innocent of charges of witchery. They were, for a time, Mary Warren, John Proctor, and especially the main voice of reason within Miller's play, Mr. Hale of Beverly.

Saturday
1. how did Hume and Emmanual (Immanuel) Kant define “humans”?
2. what was at stake?


In about a P or Windows to answer these two concisely and clearly.
