Chapter 3

In this chapter, we learn about the different colonies and cities of societies that start to form. What caught my eye was the fact that women were able to have their own opinion. Though the indigenous women didn't have much choices, the fact that they were given choices is still proves a point that they were able to do what they pleased without any hassle or consequences. This shocked me only because I thought women had no voice at all until Women's Rights came around in the 1840's. The fact that they had the right to marry someone from an upper class, and able to move up the class system gave them more freedom than most slaves. This actually put women in a better position than slaves, because it's finally refreshing to hear that the lower class are having respect.
 The other topic that I've always had a huge fascination with is the Salem Witch Trial, where innocent women being sentenced of false accusations to witchcraft. It occured to me that it was mainly men that were accusing the women of these horrible accusations. Mainly, I thought they were being threatened by their success, or would have the same level power as men. Though men and women would get locked up for these name blame game.
