I think that people must of been really convinced in to thinking that rats could be appear out of straw but since it was a long time ago and science wasn't very developed we could all understand why people thought this.

1) I think that this was normal for them because they had the same outcome every time they tried it which led them to believe that.
2) Peter would accept this idea because everybody else did.

# data[].attributes.body
I think its crazy that they believe that because its pretty much believing that magic can happen

1. I think that this idea was a bit too far out there, but it'd make sense because they didnt know that much about what happened in the world back then.

2. He probably accepted this idea because he might've been influenced by everyone else and by what they were saying.

# data[].attributes.body
they were more gullible

1. i think this idea is very intersesting.

1. i think this idea is very intersesting.

2. i think that because back then it was true but now we know its not true.

I think this idea is very different and not true, but they didn't have a lot of info to support their ideas back then.

I think he just formed to the beliefs around him and used that to explain this odd idea.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I think that that's a crazy idea because, how could people actually believe that.
2. I think Peter would accept this idea because he didn't really know a lot back then but if he heard stories and stuff that made it sound real then Peter would actually believe that.

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree with this idea because obviously straw doesnt magically turn into rats. I think people believe it because it was what was accepted as true. Plus, they had no evidence proving that it was wrong. Thats the same reason Peter accepted this to be true.

M.B   1. I think that rats coming from straw is extremely weird and doesn't make any sense and it could not be a theory without actual proof of the theory

2. Peter could of just been going with the flow of believing that or he didn't have an actual idea of where they could of come from so he just used that.

1. I think this idea is pretty weird but back then no one really knew how things worked, many will just believe what they hear.
2. He believed this idea because there's a possibility that he tested it and maybe also because he was influenced by everyone else

# data[].attributes.body
1. I believe that it is odd to believe in magic in the first place, and that someone should of tested this theory better.

2. I believe that scientist probably attempted to test this hypothesis and found that if they left the straw alone there was eventually a rat that was near by.

# data[].attributes.body
1.I think this theory is very weird because now we know it's not true.

2. I think Peter believed this because he just wanted to blend in with everyone else.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I think that it's far fetched and obviously not true but at the time they didn't think to test it because it was just widely accepted as the reasoning behind it.
2. I believe that Peter accepted the idea because there was no one to object against it. Everyone thought that was the reason so they just accepted it but if he were to actually test it he would see that they were not correct.

# data[].attributes.body
1) I think it is an odd idea he thought that straw just turned into rats magically. But since of theories back then, it makes sense.

2) I believe he thought of this idea because he would wait a couple of days and when he would go back to check on it, he would find rats.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that it is just a wierd theory

i think that he believed this theory because he was raised that way and just had nothing to prove that it is wrong so he just kept on believing.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I think it is very odd, considering what we know today, but thinking of what they knew back then, it would make sense to them.

2.I believe that he thought this because he tested it, by leaving straw on someone's roof, and then waiting for a certain amount of time to check to see if his hypothesis was correct.
