"I have 11 children, and I am 26 times a grandma, and I have seen them all through their silly seasons." (Miller, pg. 179) She is an elderly lady that states she is a grandma of her 11 children. This represents her older age. She represents a very caring and optimistic woman who looks out for others. She is highly respected in the community and her value of human life. " A child's spirit is like a child, you can never catch it by running after it; You must stand still, and for some, it will soon come back."(Miller, pg.179)]]> 2017-10-15 18:53:00 UTC https://padlet.com/alex_364645/nufv9pu53qp/wish/197146827 Kathryn Joosten alex_364645 https://padlet.com/alex_364645/nufv9pu53qp/wish/197146875 Known for her roles in "The West Wing" and "Desperate Housewives", She worked as a nurse at Chicago's Michael Reese Hospital working with troubled teenagers.  In a 2009 interview, Joosten admitted that she “loved” and missed nursing, but after spending the best part of ten years as a housewife, she felt that she couldn’t return to the profession.

" ( Miller, Pg. 178) Rebecca and Francis have had land disputes over the Putnam's based on jealousy and their success with renting the land. There were a lot of protests against the Tops-field-Nurse faction.

It was really the accidental consumption of partially dried grain that became moldy was why Betty was sick. She was that high of a position that, "... the general opinion of her character was so high that to explain how anyone dared cry her out for a witch ..."She didn't want to be part of the witchcraft situation at all and just wanted others to realize that Betty just ate some moldy grain. "Top it all, Mrs. Putnam- who is now staring at the bewitched child on the bed-soon accused Rebecca's spirit of "tempting her to iniquity,"...." Yet, people of the community didn't pay attention to her at all and her motives were just hidden under the bed and not to be noticed. "... Thomas Putnam's little daughter was the one who fell into a fit at the hearing and pointed to Rebecca as her attacker." Only until later in time was when the truth would be known but too late for the time of the Witch Trials to know.
