What was going through my mind during Act One...

I found it difficult to read the book continuously, and found myself very distracted. It took several tries to finish Act One. My mind wasn't in the book at all. I thought it could because it's a play and the format is different than what I'm used to reading. I also wondered a lot about who was speaking since the female characters are referred as Goody and their last name. I was very confused about everything going and that didn't help the fact that I just couldn't focus. I did find the extra information, the background information very interesting. It helped me understand and picture the characters a bit more. Unfortunately our school presented this play last year and I imagine the performers instead of having my own idea of the story. This so far is very frustrating (because of the format) and interesting to read.
