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.   

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

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.
