The book and movie are very good examples of what I imagine the Salem Witch Trials to be like. Everyone was paranoid and shouting, and it was very easy to be immersed in the story.

I actually liked a book school made me read? Wild, I know. But despite the sexism and the raging historical inaccuracies, it was fun to read. Maybe it was made more enjoyable by the fact that I got to watch my classmates read it out loud in horror and shame. The best thing you can do is make a bunch of high schoolers read out the lines of a horned up 17th-century character lol.
