1.) Articles of Confederation was agreement of all 13 states, they should control the war and foreign policy, and retained its sovereignty, freedom and independent, and every jurisdiction and right,

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 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.
