I'm sorry, we are unable to provide essays or other writing assignments for students. You might possibly use GradeSaver's character sketch, included below, to assist with your diary entry.
Abigail Williams is the seventeen year-old girl, who is the niece of Reverend Parris. Abigail was the Proctors' servant before Elizabeth fired her for having an affair with John. She is a malicious, vengeful girl who, in an attempt to protect herself from punishment after Reverend Parris finds them dancing, instigates the Salem witch trials and leads the charge of accusations. Despite her accusations, Abigail is an unabashed liar who charges witchcraft against those who oppose her, even Elizabeth Proctor in an attempt to take her place as Proctor's wife. Abigail's callous nature stems partially from past trauma; she is an orphan who watched as her parents were murdered by Indians.
