    1. In my opinion Hale's questions were rediculous. He was accusing them of not being christians. His methods of uncovering the devils work did not seem valid to me. Things that he was accusing them of doing are things that anybody could have done, whether they were christians or not.

    1) I dont like the questions that Hale ask the Proctors because it seems that he is just trying to scare them.

    1.I think Hales questions to Proctors were unjustfied. He based his questions off of what Abigail said, and shes a liar. His methods are weak, hes doing a bad job at "uncovering" the devils work. His methods arent valid to me because he didnt have enough proof that Eliabeth was a wicth.

    2.Everything is unreasable, Abigail is telling lies for her own gain. Blaming others to get noticed.
    The truth is everyone is too closed-minded of thinking that the girls are telling lies..to aviod getting punished.

    1. In my opinion his questions were kind of rediculous, just because they don't go to church all the time does not mean they do not believe in god.

    2.Abigail is just telling lies to get her own self out of trouble, she is blaming others and it is just messed up.

    2) In Act two Mary tells the truth to Mr.Proctor but not to Hale and the others for fears that Abigail will kill her.

    1:my oppinion of Hale's questioning to the Proctors was un reasonable becuase he should be cautious that she is just a girl that is wanting things to go her way to her benefet of haveing jhon to her self.
    2:the lies that are told in both acts 1 and 2 are very desitfull because the girls minipulate everything;and about the truth its not brout out to be reviled.

    1. I think hale's questions were ridiculus because he ask too many questions at the same time. his methods were unvalid to me he just want to acuse elizabeth
    2. elizabeth finds out that jonh tolk to abigail alone when he first said that they were with other people.

    1:)I believe that Rev. Hales Questions to the Proctors is all done with good intentions. I believe that Rev. Hale is makeing an honest attempt to try to reach the truth.I believe that in Re. Hales questions he is able to discover the true hidden sins in the Proctor family.I think his methods of questioning are well suited to this situiation.

    2:)I believe that the lies that are spoken and the truths that are revealed play a key role in the development of this play. The entire story is based on the lies that were told and how they effected the people of Salem. The Lies were accepted as truth and in this way many innocent lives were put at stake and lost.
