DJ 33 Pearl acceptance

"Pearl kissed his lips... of anguish was all fulfilled" Pearl accepted Arthur into her life as her Farther right before he died. His spell was broken as if he could not go to heaven with out her accepting him. He finally lives as when it should have been in my oppionion that he was also caused adultery. Pearl would grow up better as it says in the beginning.  

DJ 32 Arthur wanting acceptance

"dear little Pearl, wilt thou kiss me now?... But now thou wilt?" Arthur wants to be accepted into Hester and Pearl's family. He is Pearl's farther and havn't been there for her life so pearl is not use to him. In the forest Pearl doesn't accept him by not kissing him. Before Arthur goes to Heaven he wants to be part of Pearl and Hester's family. He admits this to everyone that he is her farther and begs Pearl pretty much to accept him before he dies.

DJ 31 Arthur admits it in front of the whole town

ye, that have loved me!... of sin and infamy ye have not shuddered!" Arthur finally releases him self from the torturing of Roger because he admits that he committed adultery with Hester it can also mean that Arthur is releasing him self to heaven so he can die happy and go to heaven. He doesn't want to be tortured any more. Also I think Hester and Pearl are happy because he is admitting of being part of their family. so tired

DJ 30 Arthur compared to Frodo

"Ha, tempter! Methinks thou art... I shall escape thee now!" I am comparing Arthur to Frodo because Roger is like Gollum. Arthur is trying to admit that he has sinned with Hester and Pearl is his daughter so that Roger can not torture him anymore or figure out his secrets. Frodo tries to destroy the ring but Gollum wants and needs it. Arthur just wants the pain to get over and for everyone to know he has sinned so he can go to heaven. Frodo wants the ring to be destroyed so that he doesn't have to carry the burden and to go home.

DJ 29 Creepy Roger is Gollum

"At this instant old Roger Chillingworth..Would you bring infamy on your sacred profession?" Roger really wants to know all of Arthur's secret so he tries everything to have them or to get it no matter what. While Gollum from Lord of the Rings always wants to take the ring from Frodo. At the end of the Scarlet Letter Roger gets more and more evil looking or disfigured because he gets obsessed with torturing Dimmsdale. While Gollum is after the ring and thats all he wants. It shows how dark these figures really are and how what they want affects them.

DJ 28 the angel has finally flew away

Yes; their minister whom they so loved.... a shower of golden truths upon them." At the end of this book Arthur dies and the people think he is some sort of angel and flies away. Everyone is sad when he is gone and cries but since they do not he has sinned or his scar he can't go to heaven. He is showed to be like a angel because he is a minister a all holy figure. So before he goes to heaven he must tell everyone what he has done and show his scar. Yet they say he is the best man ever. As they say "He stood, at this moment...and a reputation of whitest sanctity.." Yet the other sinner Hester is looked upon and has to show the A every day. It is not fair that Dimmesdale doesn't have to take any blame or be punished.

DJ 27 The black mans mark

"Once in my life i met... letter is his mark!" At first Pearl wants to know the story of the Black Man (satan).
Hester says that she met him (Roger). Hester says the A is his mark because it is sin. If Hester was not dim-witted and married Roger so hasty then she would not have the mark. Neither would Arthur because Hester and Arthur would be a happy family with Pearl. Who wants to know about the black man. I think Pearl knows who the black man is because she can tell from Roger looking all evil like.  

DJ 26 Sadness in the marketplace again

"The picture of human life... even the puritan aspect could attain." in the beginning of this book it is very sad everyone looks gray and dead. In this part everyone still looks dead and gray. It could be the foreshadow that something bad is going to happen. Or it shows their world never changed. Could their sadness be because the Devil (Roger) is in the town and he makes everyone sad and depressed, Or is it because they notice Arthur becoming weak and hurt.

DJ 25 Sunshine don't shine on Hester but Pearl

"Mother," said little Pearl.... I wear nothing on my bosom yet." Why does the light shine on Pearl but not Hester, Picture this before Pearl was born that one side of Hester is good and ones bad. After Pearl came she became hated because of her A and what she did (Evil). But pearl is beautiful creative and the light shines so bright on her (Good). "Pearl set forth, at a great pace... to into the magic circle." Pearl is seemed like a angel or a innocent fairy in the light as if her and the light are friends. But suddenly when Hester tries to grab or even touch the sunlight it suddenly goes all dark on her as if its attached like the A. Pearl thinks that she is suppose to have an A because she is so use to Hester having one that she thinks she needs one. Hester does not want her to have an A thou because it is a sin.

DJ 24 Lucifer

"But the former aspect of an intellectual... all the better for it."

Lucifer  (Before) 

Gods right hand man 

first great person 

The best angel 

Not hating and destructive

Cared for God

Roger (Before)

A doctor helping people

Not dis-formed and corrupted

Not evil and vengeful

Lucifer (now) 

Away from God

Fallen and corrupted angel

Destructive cruel

Doesn't need or want god 

Roger (Now)

Makes poison wants to harm and hurt Arthur

Dis-formed dark and corrupted

DJ 23 shriek!!!

"He shrieked aloud; an outcry... the fro." Arthur Dimmesdale yelled so that people could see him on the scaffold the same one that Hester was on a long time ago for being committed adultery. As Hester wears the symbol on her chest Arthur carved an A in his chest. He could not take the pain of lying and not showing the truth that this angel or priest really was a adultery. "It is done! muttered the minister...and find me here!" He couldn't take it anymore he was in a daze and needed to yell to show the truth of him. Later Hester and Pearl come up to him and hold his hands and show they are all there and have sinned in front of everyone.

The A!!! (art DJ 22

The A can be used as a symbol of art. Because itself looks beautiful. "On the breast of her gown, in fine red cloth.... to the apparel which she were.." The A is a work of art made of gold string all scarlet and emboired. Then Pearl makes one out of eel-grass. A letter, the letter A... was to make out its hidden import." This A can also mean that because the people who wear it is also artistic. Pearl makes it out of resources around her and makes many different examples like. "Her final employment.... the aspect of a little mermaid." Then her mother it says in the beginning. It was the art... their fabrics of silk and gold

DJ 21 the A (able

The A that Hester wears or the one carved in to Arthur's heart mean Adultery but it can mean more or more then just one thing. It says on page 141 "The letter was a symbol... that it meant able; so strong was Hester Prynne, with a woman's strength." Able to change maybe, she has now been a person known for helping people making clothes for the unclothed being generous. She has changed to be someone they look at and say thats our Hester.

DJ 20 growing from a grave

"Even in the graveyard... to make manifest an unspoken crime?" This means that because this person kept his secret and something grew from his heart. Roger is saying this to Dimmsdale because he is trying to get Dimmsdale to tell him the secret about him. Even though something can grow in something so dark such as graveyard from someones corpses. Yet it can be beautiful because its showing life.

DJ 19 Roger's eyes

"Sometimes, a glimmered... that encouraged him." This shows the Roger has insprition to keep doing something or going on with something not stopping. He wants to do he is not going to stop. What inspires him thou? I think that its Satan that is making him do something dark and evil. Roger is like a demon and does Satan"s little dirty work I think.

DJ 18 LEECH!!!!!! and rogers looks now from before

Roger Chilling worth is like a leech and Arthur is his victim. "anxious and attached physician." He wants everything from Arthur his secrets his life everything about him and he wants to know more and get more as time progresses. Roger's looks would describe as a leech but in human form. At first Roger was calm, mediative and scholar-like. Now he has something ugly and evil which the society didn't notice but its growing more and more noticeable. He has changed from a good person not all dark and corrupted. To something ugly and just evil, as if its like Gollum from Lord of the Rings. But people still trust him with Arthur about "helping" him.  

DJ 17 Searching

"So Roger Chillingworth.. dark cavern" Roger Chillingworth is looking for something thats very deep inside Arthur Dimmesdale. He is trying to prove that Dimmesdale is Pearl's farther but he just can't get the information. The next sentences states "Few secrets... of his own..." (Countues) If Roger is getting this attached searching more and more Arthur should not even have him. He should not have his physician (someone who normally helps people) help him because Arthur is a holy person who gets looks on by lots of people as being a noble great person. But no one knows that Arthur really got Hester pregnant with Pearl. Who are both hated by this society for Arthurs own doing.

DJ 16 Pearl (the wild rose)

"The child finally announced... that grew by the prison door." Pearl is as wild as the rose. She is Hester's love everything her treasure. Hester got to pick if she wanted to be an adultery or not. Hester got to pick to have Pearl not. Hester poured all her love into Pearl. Pearl answered it with from a rose but she new it was god or the heavenly father. Yet if it was a white rose it would mean innocent or pure. Should it have been a white rose or red rose.

DJ 15 Pearl spreads fear

"Behold verily, there is a women... let us fling mud at them." This shows that the puritans really hate and dislike Pearl and Hester.  The dislike Hester because she carries the A which stand for adultery or another meaning. The dislike Pearl because she is considered a devil child and her mother has sinned. But Pearl is rebellious and yells and shakes her fist at them. Also threatening them and rushed towards them as if there was only one. "But Pearl, who was... and looked up smiling into her face." After they kids run away terrified, Pearl turns around and smiles at her mom as if she won or had a victory over them.

DJ 14 taking pearl

The town is trying to take away Pearl from Hester. They will try to take her away so that she can have a heavenly parent and teach her the ways of the christian way. The society thinks it would be better for Pearl if she was not with Hester. But if Pearl is a demon she is going to stay with Hester because Hester has sinned. Hester thinks the opposite of the society she thinks it would be better for pearl to stay with her. From the lines "On the supposition of that Pearl... better guardianship then Hester Prynne's" She is not classified as a demon but she is just like a wild rose bush she's wild but made from love. Pearl can be shown to be love of Hester.

DJ 13 sin & punishment

Graveyard and jail at the very beginning. Punishment could be a prison sentence or being hung. Also Hester has a punishment of wearing an A.  Sin is seen many times in this novel one instances is Hester's adultrey. But also Roger wanting revenge is a sin. Roger doesnt want Hester to die but to be revengeful and kill her slowly differnent ways. Is there one of every sin in the book. Pearl is a devil child but looks like a angel. Will pearl sin or be perfect angel?

DJ 12 Angel or Demon or ELF!!??

At first they say Pearl is "a lovely and immortal flower". Next they say she is "brought forth in Eden; worthy to have been left there to be the plaything of angels." calling her a angel to be in the city of great happiness or an unspoiled paradice. But people call her devil child because she is Hester's daughter. "Pearl was a human child... to pursue the little elf in flight." She is called many different things but this makes me think of the saying "Don't judge a person on their looks" or something like that. She may look all innocent and nice but really she could be a devil at heart. She screams and holds rocks and scares little kids is instances were she can be classified. Another is were the kids throw mud at Hester and Pearl and Pearl yells and threatens them to go away and runs towards the kids to scare them away. She just smiles back at her mom as if it was a sign of victory or winning.

DJ 11 Hating Beauty

"Her handiwork became what would now be termed the fashion" 
Hester is great at making cloths and making them beautiful or pretty. She can not how ever make them for weddings because not all things are pure. As it says "But it is not recorded that, in a single instance, her skill was called in aid to embroider the white veil which was to cover the pure blushes of a bride. The exception indicated the ever relentless vigor with which society frowned upon her sin." The puritans also hate Hester herself but as it also says "The young woman... marked brow and deep black eyes." Another beautiful thing they hate is Pearl as it describes her as "A lovely and immortal flower" everything that has been described as beautiful or pretty has something bad about them like Pearl is a devil child and Hester is an adulteress

Recognition DJ 3

Hester says that she doesn't like the society she has been living in, and maybe if she and her daughter break away from the church that she can get them to believe like her Part of their way of life is having a father. If Pearl only tries to find a blissful father, she will be smart and a good kind of person. I saw the font was in black so i changed it so you can see it.

Pearl treated DJ 10

Pearl is treated poorly also just like her mother. She seemed as a demon or imp or devil child from all the kids and adults. As it says on page 84 "An imp of evil... christianed infants." She has no friends so she uses her mind to create friends or imaginary friends. Hester loves but also worries about Pearl. Pearl was just like her mother in many ways moodiness passion and causes a lot of mischief. 

Revenge DJ 9

Hester first refuses to drink the medicine. She thinks that Chillingworth might be poisoning her. Chillingworth says that know i'm not going to kill you i'm going to first get revenge. This could be death threat or something a little more meaning full. With the lines "Even if I... blaze upon thy bosom?"I think its a threat that he is saying i'm not going to kill you. I'm going to do far more worst things then you. Is what Chillingworth is saying to Hester. 

Pearl and Scarlet Letter DJ 8

Pearl is very intrested in the Scarlet letter and wants to know more. She put up her small forefinger, and touched the Scarlet Letter. "He did not send me!' cried she, positively. "I have no heavenly father!"Pearl is all small and innocent but is announced as a huge sin. The Scarlet Letter is a complete work of art and also a great sign of sin. The puritans hate beautiful things so they hate both.

DJ 7 Pearl

Pearl is important because its Hester's only child. Hester's life is Pearl. Pearl is also something that costs a lot or founded in buried treasure of something like that.  As it says "Pearl." as being of great... mothers only treasure."  Pearl is a symbol of light or purity. She is part of nature because she is a un-anounced sin. She is technical not real. She is just a ghost or spirt of nature

chapter 4 DJ 6

Hester has incredible resilience and willpower. She is talked down upon by the town. But no matter what she just keeps going on and on. She doesn't care what they say She just goes on and on day after day etc. She thinks what happened to her was just something in life and needs to get over it and forget about it. It says "she must sustain and carry it forward (to keep going on) by the ordinary resources of her nature (her life), or sink beneath it (to just stop or give up)."

Black Man DJ 5

The Black man is going to be reoccurring through the book because Mr. fielding said so but this is the first time he is mention. The black man is a symbol of Satan, Hester made a deal with roger whom she compared him to the devil and now she thinks that she has to give up her soul to him with the line “Why dost… that will prove the ruin of my soul?” He also say not thy soul, no not thine. Which he meant he doesn’t want to take Hester’s but maybe someone else’s.

Interview DJ 4

Hester well never see her husband, as long she never refers him to Roger Chillingworth, from the line. “And my sojourn… with thine own hand.” Because Pearl's actually farther is not really blissful. She needs him to be blissful so she can strong and finish her mission.

Utopia DJ 2

In my opinion its not utopia because everything seems black and white and dull. As it says “A throng of bearded men… and others bareheaded.” It also seems really bad because there is only a prison and cemetery right from the start. They wanted a utopia or a perfect socity but they knew it was going to be. So in every town they first built a cemertary and prison no matter what. 

Rose-bush DJ 1

Is a symbol of which nature shows sympathy for the people who go into the jail. From the lines “to offer their fragrance and fragile beauty to the prisoner as he went in, and to the condemned criminal as he came forth to his doom.” Because the rose gave it aroma or something for him. The rosebush also gave a nice smell to the prisoner who is going to get hung. It seemed like the only thing that was alive or flourishing. The people were all gray and dark there was no color. The only color though was the rose and the only thing alive or not dead-looking.
