Just Ask My Children Vs The Crucibles

The movie Just Ask My Children has many similarities and difference compared to the story, The Crucibles. The movie has so many similarities that it is pretty much the same story just in a different time period. That also goes for the differences and the only reason why they are differences is because of the different time periods. The story and the movie compare to each other so well due to several different reasons. First off, both of these are based off of true stories which is really upsetting if you think about it because people during both times were getting falsely accused of crimes. That means that innocent people were getting punished because of someone else’s false accusations. Another thing that is similar about them is when
people were found guilty there was no evidence to ever prove them guilty. Instead in both incidents they were just going off of what other people said. After all if you get enough people to believe in one thing even if it is wrong if will sound or feel right. That brings me to the point where everybody already had their minds up about the cases before court even started. This is why these false accusations actually had these innocent people proven guilty in court. There was also some major differences that made both stories different in a way. Starting with in The Crucibles, if you were found guilty you were sentenced to death but in Just Ask My Children, if you were found guilty you were just sentenced to a hefty time in prison. This is where a major difference because after a while when the people found out that it was all a lie they couldn’t bring the people back to life but in the movie they could let them out of jail. Another difference that really changed them up is in the book there was really any technology so the witch trial wasn’t as bad as in the movie when it was on t.v. because the rape case went worldwide, meanwhile the witch trials only went to a couple towns. As you can see the movie Just Ask My Children and the book The Crucibles have a lot of similarities that help the two stories relate.They also have key differences that change the only story around in jurassic ways.
