We reviewed the character of Abigail Williams, who seems to figure prominently in the play. Ben contributed his opinions about Abigail and was able to cite references and examples in the book about her moral character. Ben participated in guided reading as we near the end of Act 1. Ben noted that there is a lot of animosity between characters based on greed and envy. We discussed how these elements contribute to growing the hysteria that begins to mutate amongst the people of Salem. Subject specific vocabulary included the word "inequity" which which was relevant to our study of the climate in Salem Massachusetts as it pertains to grossly unfair or immoral behavior. Ben demonstrated effective inferential reasoning skills based on his responses to character analysis inquiries.
