The person I'm choosing is Abigail, and the word is mischief .
I chose her because she started it all with mischief when she got caught dancing in the woods. When she blames people she makes it even worse. She is a very unreliable girl and does not tell the truth. I think this character is very good at getting into mischief, only because she is sneaky. In a way I believe that she really could be a witch, because of what she caused for everybody.

Word of the day
Weeping- to shed tears
My definition- Weeping- when someone is very down or sad for a period of time and cries a lot.
Weeping makes me think of people that are sitting around crying and can't get over something no matter how hard they try.
It relates to the book because the young girls were weeping when they got caught doing witchcraft. If I think ahead I think that many more people are going to be weeping as the book goes on.
I chose this word because it stuck out to me and it seems appropriate for the book.
