Soooo not quite sure how to start...or if I am even doing this right but here goes! I'm going to aswer the one about favorite and least favorite characters...My favorite character was probably Pearl, because even at a young age she understood a lot of things. She just had a personality that some people would be afraid of, but it did nothing to effect Hester. And even though she may have had a hard life growing up being an outcast, she overcame that and became a good person.
ReplyDeleteMy least favorite was probably Roger Chillingsworth. i know that he must have felt anger for what Hester did but he also said that it was his fault because he forced her to marry him. Also to change your life so much that all you want to do is destroy a person??? What kind of person is that?
The first letter A described in this book was Hester's. Her's stood for adultery.
ReplyDeleteThe second A was that of Dimmesdale,he being of course the father of Pearl. So his also stood for adultery. The third A was Pearl's. When they were in the forest together Pearl made an A out of seaweed. However the reason she made her A was out of question to her mother wondering why she wore the scarlet letter. Also it could be because she is trying to haunt her mother with what she has done by also wearing the letter A.

ReplyDeleteComment to Jodi-
ReplyDeleteI also really liked Pearl! I thought she was such an interesting and fascinating character. She just had a light and joy about her even though she understood alot of the much sorrow and grief in her mother's life and life itself. I also really disliked Chillingsworth! He gave me the "chills"! I agree with you he had the right to feel a little anger I guess but really he was such an awful man.
Comment to Reese-
I am so glsd you put Mistress Hibbons as your least favorite character because I didn't even think of her! She really is just an annoying lady. I felt the same when I read the little that was said about her I just did not like her!

ReplyDeleteComment to Jodi! I didn't like Roger either! What a big ol' bum! Even though he has a pretty good reason to be mad, I still didn't like him. Maybe it's his name. Or maybe not. . .
