Answers from Arige and Annon


Arige's
Why did Hester stay in Boston knowing that she would be isolated and that the people will have a negative thought of her forever?


Hester stayed in Boston because Pearl's father lived there and she didn't want her husband to suspect her and she thought she should punish herself for her adultery so she decided to just stay put and accepted it to herself as a punishment.

What are the things that Pearl looks at that makes her notice her life is different from the other kids in Boston?

That she is being treated like an outcast and doesn't welcome her.

Annon's

Hester Prynne is a beautiful, strong, and independent women who has committed adultery. In her time, adultery was considered a crime and was punishable by death. Hester is forced to wear the letter A on her bosom to brand her, and let society perceive her as impure and sinful. Hester is constantly plugged by judgement, looked down upon, and persecuted against yet she keeps her head held high to not let her persecutes get the better of her.

  Hester is independent and determined. She is isolated from society with no money and a job for support, but manges to raise her only child pearl by herself in a small cottage treating her with the affection, friendship, and acceptance that she lacks in her community. She is also gorgeous she has dark abundant hair, an elegant body, and a beautiful complexion and also wears a beautiful attire such as her dress that radiates in the sun  like her complexion.

   When pearl was playing across a bank ,her mother called pearl several times to return and began to become frustrated that pearl would not cross the pond. Hester figured out that pearl had noticed the A was missing from her bosom.

Blessed responses to antonias questions!

   Pearl is considered inhuman because she was created by the means of what was considered sinful, wrongly, and abnormal in those times. Men and women are joined together by marriage and Hester is being accused of having sex out side her marriage to produce Pearl.

   Hester feels angered and upset when pearl touches the scarlet letter on her bosom. It reminds her of the sin she comitted, anger, and hatred of society that is displayed as a result

response to Annons Questions

Adultery is when you committ and act of unfaithfulness or when you sell you body or services in this case she was unfaithful and it is considered so sinful because in that time and age religion was law so in this case she was breaking both things that were important to that society

The conflict of the story is that hester committed adultery and disgraced the society this effects the story because its shows how things were taken more seriously back in those times

Hester Prynne


Hello World,
I don't know you but you know me,
Or at least the A that you see,
I garden but you didnt know that,
I sow but thats not important.
You don't want to get to know me.
You only care about the A that you see.
It is a scarlet letter get over it
I've had enough of all the snit.
Not a hello or goodbye,
Just stares and weird looks,
Not a hug or a kiss
This feels like the story books.
You dont want to know me,
Just the A that you see.
I should be a rat and just tell
everyone what the want to know.
Who's my partner in crime
Who gave me this pregnant glow.
Thats would make you feel great
Then there would be two of us to hate.
No day goes by that I don't wonder
If im the only one.
Or are they in hiding,
hiding from what they have done.
They are cowards something I am not,
like a druggy hiding form the cops
While they are doing pot.
Well I am Hester Prynne.
Not the A on my chest
My name is Hester Prynne
Not that scarlet letter Pest.

Read the scarlet letter to learn more about
Hester and her life.
