In the Shoes of the accused

If I was accused of something that was as big as being a witch, I would scare them into thinking that I would cast spells on them if they caused me any harm. Witchcraft was such a big thing back then that the people would believe just about anything, so I would use that as an advantage towards me. Doing this would hopefully allow me to be disbanded of an charges towards me.

Puritans

What were some of the underlying beliefs that Puritans possessed?  How did their beliefs affect their daily lives?  Could you live in a Puritanical society?  Why or why not?  What would be the most difficult part (for you) about being raised in that type of environment?
*Some main beliefs are religious movements. The where really religious, and did service for others. They are mostly concerned with religion, more than politics and social acquaintances.

*Things that effected their everyday lives are that since they didn't participate in political things, they got criticized by very political people. Also they had conflicts with King Charles of England. He and his wife did not agree with the Puritans views and beliefs.

*I personally could not live in a Puritan society because they have very harsh religious views. I also don't have strong political views but, i do believe that you should have some part of your political surroundings.


*The most difficult part would be to not participate in other social events. Being social is fun for me and completely having little social life I probably couldn't stay cooped up with the same people.
