I,Tituba Black Witch of Salem Chapters 5-9 By JAYME MONGE

A significant moment that stood up to me was located in chapter 7 page 49. There was a moment in which an old woman got lynched for being a witch. When Tituba witnessed the old woman getting lynched it caused her to have a flashback. The flashback was basically her mother getting lynched by Darnell Davis. Tituba felt that her life began all over again after she witnessed the old lady getting hanged. Tituba questions herself what kind of world she lives in that had turned her into a slave. It appears to me that African Americans who had access to knowledge. They would be considered as a witch and would face severe consequences. Knowing that African Americans had to be kept stupid just gets me ticked off. White slave owners believed that if African Americans had access to knowledge either will overthrow them and become the dominant ones. It’s quite pathetic of them for thinking this way. I aways question myself why kill a innocent human being for having knowledgeable skills.
