“I Didn’t Deserve This”                                                                                       

I was in England will my husband Chillingworth send me off to Boston to work and make a house because he was going to come later. I wait and wait for him and he didn’t come. While I was waiting to him a met a person of was there for me.  I was working on a wedding dress when I was taking to jail for committing adultery I was on the scaffold being punished by standing on it. I was in jail, I felt sick. I was in labor in a jail cell between 4 walls by myself. I had have birth to a baby girl and I called her Pearl, I took care of her in jail. I was punished again and while I was being punished I saw my husband in the crowed of townspeople. I was nervous and I squeezed Pearl so hard that she started crying.  I noticed that he saw Pearl in my hands, when I saw him I felt that I was going to fall of the scaffold. I saw him shush me I didn’t know what he mined; when we were face to face he looked mad but then started smiling. He wanted to know who the baby daddy was, but I refused to tell him.

I was noticed at Pearl was looking a little sick so I took her to doctor and I was shocked to see who the doctor was. I was shocked to see Chillingworth as the doctor, I then figured that he just wanted to get close to me. Chillingworth gave me a poison and told me to drink it, I refused to drink it because he wants to kill me. Then I thought to myself that he will no kill me, so I drank it. Then I gave so to Pearl and she want to sleep a long sleep. Chillingworth and I were talking about to not tell no one that his is her husband and Hester agreed.

I have been searching the internet for the best religious site. I found this website detailing if god can forgive me for the sin that I have done: http://www.auburn.edu/~allenkc/christa.html. I have to found out if god can forgive me for the sin that I have done. A quote that related to the story is (37) “So, tell me, who is this baby’s father… “No one knows, “said the other man may even be right here in the crowd, trying to hide what his done.
