Scopes trial vs, Witch Trial

John Scopes was a biology teacher in Tennessee and one day he decided he would teach evolution to his students. Well at that time according to the Butler act teaching evolution in the classroom was illegal. Scopes was then arrested and put to trial. William Bryan came to prosecute John, while Clarence Darrow came in John's defense. These were some big shot lawyers and it brought a lot of attention to the small town of Dayton.

This is similar to the Salem Witch Trials.  A small happening which there was evidence to prove blasphemy blew out of proportion. 

The Crucible

My friend Brandon and I when we were really young would go and have fun. We would play outside, play with his toys, play nintendo 64, the usual stuff that 5 year olds did. Well every once in a while we would do something bad. Like break a window, and stuff like that. Well even if it wasn't my fault I would get blamed. He would always blame me every single time. Eventually his parents saw him throw a toy against his wall and blame me. So they did figure it out, but it wasn't until after I had been punished so many times. This reminds me of the way Abigail is falsely accusing everyone of being witches.
