Half-Hanged Mary SOAPSTone

Speaker: Mary Webster.
Occasion: She was being hanged for witchcraft, but she really was an innocent.
Audience: The readers, and also in a way, her accusers.
Purpose: I think the purpose was for people to see that you could write wrongs, and that what's meant to be will be. She obviously wasn't meant to die just yet, so she didn't die. She suffered some, but didn't die.
Subject: I think the subject would have to be the witch trials, and the difference between good and evil.
Tone: The tone was kind of dark, but at the same time, it was enlightening. It opened the eyes of the readers to the way things were back in that era.

  1. I didn't think of the tone the way that you did. Now that I read what you thought, I see where you're coming from. Makes sense girl, makes sense.
