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.
