Blame

There is a lot of blaming people for other things going on in the book we are currently reading, The Crucible.  Blaming others can be very dangerous depending on what you blame them for.  This is because of the possible punishments like I discussed in my last open blog.  For instance it is not such a big deal to blame someone for taking the last cookie in the jar, but it could be very dangerous if you blamed someone for witching someone else, like in The Crucible.  The punishment for taking the last cookie might be a mild scolding, but if you are accused of witchcraft in the 1600s, it is very likely that you would die in a hanging. Or roasting. Or drowning.  Really, it would be terrible. Worse than that would be if the accused were innocent.  This happens in The Crucible.  Many people are accused of witchcraft, but if they deny it then they are more severely punished.  Their only choice is to confess because denial surely indicated a witch.  This happens because it was considered rock solid evidence if the accused hadn't gone to church a couple of times.  I really don't like that this happens.  It still happens today that opinions of ones actions not related to the trial can still affect the out come of the trial.  I can't think of any times when this has happened recently, but I'm sure it has. I have almost no faith in most peoples humanity, so I am positive it has happened.  Feel free to leave evidence to back me up on this in the comments if you have any.  I feel like a jerk without any evidence to back me up, but that's why I'm asking for evidence help. So anyhow, the moral of the story is DON"T BLAME OTHER PEOPLE FOR THINGS THEY DIDN"T DO. It can be dangerous to their health.
