I, Tituba 8-12

One moment that made me feel sad but happy at the same time was when Benjamin gave Tituba her freedom. Even though I felt happy she got her freedom, I was still sad because of the cause that led to it. Benjamin lost the house, ships and more importantly his children. I was surprised Benjamin did not blame Tituba for his lost after all she was recognized as one of the witch of Salem but instead he blamed himself claiming that it was God punishing him for not giving Tituba her freedom. Tituba did not want her freedom at that very high price meaning abandoning Benjamin after losing everything. Everything about Benjamin surprised me immensely because he got Tituba out of the prison to make her a slave but it was more like looking a mother for his children. A mother can never be replaced but it was good to see that Tituba and the children got along. I think it was like a dream for Tituba because she found peace in the house and also a replacement for John.
