The Girls Your Name: **Nicole Dowalo**

Characters: 1. **Abigail Williams** 2. **Suzanna Walcott** 3. **Mary Warren** 4. **Mercy Louis**

Choose one of the characters above and answer the following questions from their perspective.

The character I chose was: **Abigail Williams**

1. What is the problem you are faced with?
 * Mary Warren tried to betray me and say that all of our hard work was a lie, so I turned her into a witch, and like a coward see came crawling back to the girls' and my side. Not to mention that John Proctor, protecting his wife even though she's a sniveling old woman - and ended up getting himself thrown in jail.**

2. Who do you think is responsible for your problem, and what is motivating them?
 * Mary and Elizabeth of course, had Mary not tried to protect the Proctors, John wouldn't have has proof that Elizabeth hadn't made the poppet. And Elizabeth, driving John away from me by pretending to be innocent, now John is being thrown in jail as well.**

3. How are you trying to solve your problem, and are you successful?
 * I was successful in breaking Mary down and getting her back on our side, and I have also been successful so far in getting Elizabeth out of the picture, though John has also eliminated himself.**

4. Is there anything ironic or contradictory about what you know and what you say or do?
 * I know that everything I do is a lie just for the sake of getting out of trouble, but I don't mind too much, it can be a good way to get the people I dislike out of the way, and all the silly men of this town believe that we all consorted with the devil. Ha!**

5. When you have completed your questions above, go to your group’s discussion page and post a discussion about how you feel the trial is going so far. Don’t forget to use specific examples, and sign your character’s name.

6. Next, log onto another group’s discussion page and respond to a posting as your character.

Project: In your character’s voice you must either write one full page of your character passing notes with another girl during the hearing expressing your thoughts and concerns OR Write a “Dear Abby” letter to Abigail with response.
