from The Diary of Dorcas. Good March 23rd 16 92. Today they arrested me. I was accused of practicing witchcraft, something I've only seen be done, something I would never know exactly to do. My mother is which. Maybe that's why I'm accused, too. But as I sit in this jail, I know I will probably die. That's a lot for a young girl to comprehend. Yet it's something that I have come to terms with my family's poor, my mother, a beggar. My father is greedy. He'll do anything for money. They wouldn't miss me. Besides, my mother ship pecan sooner than I, especially after I testify against her. She was one of the first to be accused. They thought her begging and asking for money was a sign of Satan. And who knows? Maybe it waas, and I think she's just poor, crazy woman who can help her family. I wonder if she have her cast spells on me or our family. Sometimes sometimes I swear I hear her whisper strange words that I don't understand all I can hear the cries of the other Children like me, who have also been accused of participating in these evil actions. I want to cry. Oh, I cry, too. But I have to hold back my tears because I'm much stronger than that. Crying won't get me out of here or change my fate. It makes me look weak, and if I am anything a week, is not it?
