Hi everyone,
Happy Friday!! Today in class, we covered the first four chapters of The Scarlet Letter. We discussed the characters of Hester Prynne, Reverend Dimmesdale, Roger Chillingworth, as well as the Puritan community. As you continue reading the novel, note for changes in each of the characters.
Remember: You first journal response is due on Monday (Nov. 15). It has to be at least 250 words, handwritten or typed. The prompt for this first response is:
Discuss the Puritan influence in the book. What imagery is used to describe the Puritans and Puritan way of life? What is the Puritan perspective on sin? How would someone like Hester be treated today by society?
The next response will be due on Monday, November 22. Start thinking ahead!
Homework: We will be covering chapters 5-10 next week, but as I said in class, Ms. Parker will be teaching the class on Tuesday. Please have chapters 5 and 6 read for Monday. It would be a good idea to get ahead on the reading, though, as we will be discussing 7-10 starting on Wednesday.
Hope everyone has a great weekend!!
Ms. Kazer
