Personal Review of The Scarlet Letter

The Scarlet Letter written by Nathaniel Hawkthorne was written in 1850. The genre of the book is a Romance I believe. There are four major characters within the book, Hester Prynne, Pearl, Arthur Dimmesdale and the secret Rodger Chillingworth. There are three major conflicts within the book, one of the first conflicts can be seen as Hester against Society, Hester is shown with a scarlet A upon her bosom upon the actions of adultery. She is seen upon as a sin filled woman. The second of conflicts is as well between her and the society, they wish to cast her out of the town seen as a woman only of sin however; Arthur Dimmesdale, the minister goes against this and allows the woman to stay. The third of the conflicts is between Rodger and Arthur,  Rodger mentally tortures Arthur into guilt and keeps harassing him. I mainly loved the style of this book and what it was about. It made me think about how different ideas and personalities twine in this way of seeing the old times. I recommend this book to those who like seeing a strong woman protagonist and those who like to see what independence can get people through.   

Reflection

My honest thoughts on today’s talking about the question three was challenging. In a sense I understand what needs to be done but when I try to put it onto paper I find myself struggling on what to put down and what to think about next to put onto my paper.

Day 12 - The Color Purple

Day 12 - My weekend was pretty mellow through and through. I played a new game with my friends called Apex legends and we have plenty of fun throughout it. Other than that I mainly did some reading up on stuff for a game called Dungeons of Dragons and helped make a character for my friend.

Day 11 - The Color Purple

Letter 49 - I honestly felt touched when I read that Celie got one of her sister's letter finally. I dislike that Albert kept trashing the letters instead of giving them to her. I feel like that's just disrespectful to Celie even if he didn't treat her like a woman.

Day 11 - Friday was pretty alright. It cool and relaxed through out school. Nothing too much happened throughout the day apart from playing a bit of quick card games but thats about it. Once I got home I hopped onto my computer and checked a few emails and that was about it before I went to sleep

Day 10 - The Color Purple

Day 10 - Thursday so far has been my best day out of this week and it’s all because of my friends online at home. When I was home I immediately hopped onto a game that recent came out called Apex Legends. It’s a battle royal game made by the same people who made Titanfall 1 & 2. It took a few games but with my friends on my team we won a game. It was super tense too when it came to the last team. I had one of the most powerfulest shotguns called the Mastiff and I decimated them with it.

Day 9 - The Color Purple

Day 9 - My Wednesday was quite fun actually. For a change I had a bit of fun. I was participating in a rifle competition for JROTC. When we got to the range I met up with a few people that I met before in previous trips. Caught up with them and then had a few laughs before we had to return to school. Once getting back to school I chilled a bit with friends and then headed home.

Day 8 - The Color Purple

Letter 37 - I felt like something was lost between all of the characters when they go see Sophia in jail. I was honestly shocked to see how she was acting within the jail. When she spoke that she was acting like Celie even Celie herself was shocked about it because it was a full change of character.

Day 8 - My day was pretty boring, it didn’t really help that I was exhausted due to staying up late and not falling asleep till early in the morning. After getting home I stayed up further because I thought I had a Wargammer game today and I didn’t want to miss it like I did last week.
