1)
2) We went to the Salem Wax Museum because we figured it would give us more of a formal insight as to the history of Salem and it also was something fun that we'd all never done before
3) I just called the Wax Museum and they told us the times that tours were going through, so we met there at around the time that a tour would start and made our way through
4) What is a seafarer? Why was Salem the hot spot for all of these death sentences for people that were accused of being witches?
5) One of the things that I thought was interesting were all of the different statues, and how intricate they each were and detailed they were. I never really expected them to be that intricate and detailed in person by just looking at them. Even just walking through the Museum it smelled a lot like wax and chemicals, which was something to take note of that I found interesting in the place. One thing I didn't like was how short it was. Walking at my normal pace, I could walk through that whole museum in about 10-15 minutes. Now I obviously took my time to make the experience longer and gain more from it, but I still feel as though it could've been longer. I am using the critical thinking based around senses and knowing your surroundings from Shushan.
6) I think that I learned more about the popular side of Salem's history, with the witch trials and everything like that, but I don't really feel like I got a better sense of place from this experience, but it was something fun to do around the area.
7) I wanted to learn more about what exactly started the witch trials and why they began, the museum mostly talked about what happened in the witch trials once they had already begun.
8) I am going to write my paper on what it is that sparked the Salem witch trials to become such a big event in America's history, and why they became so big, and what was the belief behind witches and what they could do.
9) I read the link that you attached to the assignment on Canvas.
