In the book The Hunted by Wayne Barcomb I made connection about the book I read. In the story I thought about making a connection about the character named Frank, he is a detective that studies murders. A connection that I made was when Frank was work on a project and then woke up on the floor and was confused that I didn’t not woke up. A Quote that I found in the story was when Frank was work on the project and he said “I feel sleepy because I have to find out who was killed in the crime.

I just started to read ” The adventures of Huckleberry Finn”. It’s a book that about two little guys who are Tom and Huckleberry Finn, he said it’s similar as “The adventures of Tom Sawyer”, so I predicted it will telling me their adventures in rest of their life. And it’s kinda of relifious book, for example “The widow rung a bell for supper, and you had to come to time. When you got to the table you couldn’t go right to eating…” There’re some Christian rules. The other thing is he doesn’t like his life, such as living with widow since they like to educate him and give him clean, new clothes. On the contrary, he wants to escape those life, tries to run away from that home.

             Three days after Hester and I meeting in the forest, it was Election day. The governor who had just been elected was going to take office, and I was going to give the sermon.  When I came by, people were struck by my energy and my high spirits. I was the most powerful that I had ever given. The whole audience felt the wisdom and beauty of my words. I stood up on the scaffold, a holy, respected man. I was adored by this crowd. But even in their wildest imaginations, the people couldn’t have dreamed that both Hester and I were marked with the same sign of shame! When my voice finally fell silent, the crowd began to speak. Everyone was talking about how I was the best sermon they all have ever seen. I was having at that moment the single greatest success of my whole life. Never before had I been so popular, so well-respected,so powerful. The crowd cheered for me. I walked shakily toward Hester and Pearl. I turned to Hester and Pearl and opened up my arms. I told them to come here, Hester. Come here, my little Pearl. At that same time Chillingworth came out from the crowd and walked towards Hester, Pearl, and I. Chillingworth grabbed me  by the shoulder. He told me “Ignore them, friend. Tell them to go away. Don’t destroy your reputation. I can still save you”(120)! I told him that he was to late that from God’s help, I’m going to escape from you now. Hester and I, with Pearl holding my hand, we climbed the scaffold together. The crowd was in shock. The church and city leaders were so shocked by the confession that they all stood, frozen, like statues. Supported by Hester, I turned slowly to face all the stunned leaders and people of Boston. I told them people of New England, who loved me and thought me a holy man. I am here, where I should have stood seven years ago with this woman and our child. Then, I tore open my shirt, and everyone gasped in shock and horror at what they saw on my chest. I finally collapsed. I called weakly to Hester and Pearl. I told Pearl if she will kiss me now? She wouldn’t before. I looked at Hester and told her farewell and i whispered to her to remember our sin God has proved his mercy by what he’s done to me. He gave me this mark, and he’s brought me here to die as an example to the people that I love. My soul would have been lost forever.Praise God, his will be done. Farewell.

The Luxe

I have been reading the luxe series. I am going to make a prediction on what is going to occur after Alex gos back home. People are going to want to have a friendship with Alex now. Elizabeth’s family is going to finally accpet him into the family. Alex and Elizabth are going to get married. Their families are going to aprove of the wedding. Alex is going to become wealthier. Finding that oil is going to be the best thing that has ever happened to Alex and Elizabeth.

While I reading this book, I though many things. For example, I used to think all parents in US really friendly with their child and support them to do anything, in short, they can do freely whatever they want. But in this novel, the high school student Sophie really scare of her dad, they don’t have strong relationship, also with her mom. My question is why her dad keep controling her in any kind of ways? From “After the socail worker left, my dad would kill me.” In usual, high school students tend to be naughty, rascal, so it’s really normal things. But her dad like to control her on very serious way.

Ben was told to go get some food for his stepfather and his mother. He walked there and he got the food. Then he saw to thugs looking at him he walked faster then they shouted to him ”a boy” the walked in front of ben and said ”what you got in the bag” and they took it. Ben snatched it back. Thats when they started punching him and kicking him. They took the food then ben went home scared. He walked in the house his stepfather said to him ”wheres our food” ben said i got jumped. His stepfather said ”you cant do nothing right”. Ben mother said ” its not not his fault”. Ben was scared but he didnt want to to say nothing to his stepdad.

Hello again my fellow friends, even though i am not sure if anyone is reading this. A lost has happened since i came back as a doctor. I heave been looking everywhere to catch the guy that fell in love with my Hester and gave her pearl, years went past and i still haven’t found out, soon Hester tells me that the father is not other than Mr. Dimmesdale, how could the pastor commit such a bad and sinister sin. I was so upset and heated i wanted to kill him in his sleep, but i knew that would be wrong and i would be a likely suspect, since i am his room mate. I had to wait for a perfect time to do it, i soon heard that Hester and Dimmesdale, also Pearl will be running away after the sermon, i couldn’t believe what i heard, they think running away will stop me but i think they are wrong.

The day has finally come and i cant wait to finally win. NO! NO! NO!, everything is going downhill, everyone now knows that i am Hester’s lost husband and know i can no longer hide from these people. I wonder that the out come will be now, Why me! this cant be happening No!. If Dimmesdale dies now then that means i have lost. I don’t want this, I can’t lose. With that my dear friend has died with is lover and daughter by his side, after everything has calmed down i left that village and gave my every last penny to Pearl. you may wonder why I would do such a thing like this but i still love Pearl as if she was my own and my dear Hester i still love and loaf you but nothing more can be done. I am a old man so i wont be lasting unlike you i wonder how you are doing and how Pearl is, i will keep sending you gifts even after i have pasted on. I love you and I’m sorry.

Happy Ever After

      Dimmesdale the only person I have truly loved until my beautiful daughter Pearl was made from that true love. Of course just like all the other love stories there was a huge thing that was not allowing us to have a happy ever after. The reason why we could not be together as a family was because my lover the father of my child was a coward. Yes, this was the only thing hold us apart. My lover being a coward is the only thing making me and my wonderful little girl unhappy. Coward was a role my lover knew extremely well. He put me and my daughter to shame seven years ago. Yet I could not help but love the man. He was my first and only true love. Something that nothing can make me forget nor hate him for. Like Bob Marley mentions there is only “One Love.” http://www.lyricsfreak.com/b/bob+marley/one+love_20277802.html

     My lover was standing on the scaffold me and my daughter Pearl once stood on seven years ago. The only difference was that he was facing the moonlight not the entire town. He stood there in the dark thinking of something you could tell from the look on his face. Dimmesdale was caught off when I and Pearl walked up to the scaffold. Pearl stood between me and DImmesdale, holding each other’s hands. Pearl was finally with the both of her parents. I could not speak, I was speechless I never thought that this was possible. Since me and Dimmesdale did not say a word my little Pearl spoke. “Will you stand here with me and my mother tomorrow?”[79]  Dimmesdale responded to his only daughter “No.” My little Pearl tried to pull her little hand away from her father. Dimmesdale would not allow it he held a tight grip on Pearl’s little hand. My little girl asked again ‘Will you take my hand and my mother’s hand tomorrow at noon?” Dimmesdale answered, “Not then, but I will take your hand another time.” “When?” asked Pearl. [79]  Dimmesdale said that we would stand together on Judgment Day.

     Since the last time we were together we agreed on meeting to discuss our situation. Dimmesdale looked so much different. He seemed so much healthier he seemed happy. Finally the man of my life looked happy. I had to confess the secret I was hold onto for Chillingworth. I told Dimmesdale that Chillingworth was my husband and that he was seeking revenge on him. Dimmesdale was mad that I was helping Chillingworth keep his secret. Dimmesdale was mad but he still seemed happy regardless. Which made me happy as well since anything that makes him happy completes me.

     Dimmesdale and I agreed to run away with Pearl and finally be happy after all we have gone through. We both were more then happy of the fact that we were finally going to be together without having to hide our love and affection towards each other. The next day I went to talk to the captain of the boat that me and Dimmesdale agreed to escape on. This was when my happiness was just torn off my heart. Chillingworth was on the boat talking to the captain. I felt as if my life was ending. I talked to the captain everything was still going to be done as planned. I went towards the scaffold with Pearl. Dimmesdale was giving his speech. He was happier than he has ever been. After his wonderful speech he finally confessed our sin. He took all his responsibility. He showed me to everyone the crowd was in shock. As Dimmesdale called me and Pearl up he fainted. The love of my life was dying before my eyes. He was my happiness. Without him around I will never be happy. After his death me and Pearl had to move I could not handle being there any longer. Chillingworth died after Dimmesdale. Me and my Pearl are living are lives as best as we can. I can say there is no “Happy Ever After” in my book. Till this day I wear my red scarlet letter  A.   http://skreened.com/identitee/atheism-scarlet-letter-a-symbol

Beyond More Than The Red A

        “Pearl, is a name that many people think shows calm, peace, and purity.”[53] This is why I named my little girl Pearl. Explains very well the way I feel towards her. The way this lovely little human being makes me feel every day I am with her. Just to imagine someone trying to take all of this away from me. Just the simple thought is unbearable. I would never allow it. Never really thought someone would be that heartless to even think of the act. I was terribly wrong.

     Four years later, I had to go to the mansion of the Governor’s to deliver a pair of gloves that he had ordered. I decorated the gloves with the finest of stitching so that the Governor could wear them for special occasions. Sadly delivering the gloves was not the only reason for my invite. I have heard many people mention the fact that they should take Pearl away from me. In their eyes I seemed as an unfit mother, for my little Pearl. The townspeople thought that someone with better morals should raise Pearl. In this case I had to convince the Governor that I was more than fit to raise my own child. For this very important occasion I dressed my little Pearl up in a new dress.

   As I walked into the room with my baby Pearl, I saw Governor Bellingham and the Reverend John Wilson, the leaders of the Boston church. As I walked further in the room I could not help but notice that there were two more people in their presence. Which were Reverend Dimmesdale and Roger Chillingworth. Dimmesdale seemed much worse than the last time I have seen him. Chillingworth just seem evil. He had this dark scary look in his eyes. His eyes reminded me of Freddy Krueger’s eyes in a scary way. http://www.empireonline.com/100-greatest-movie-characters/default.asp?c=95 The meeting started and they asked a couple things to Pearl. My little girl is a very unique way of behaving around certain people. If she feels under pressure she makes sure she reacts the opposite way that someone would normally do. Which in a way makes her very interesting in my eyes but, than again she is my little girl. I had to go against the Governor to actually get my point across. I even had to yell at Dimmesdale to stand up for once and defend me. Which he did if it was not that he spoke up I would have not left that place with Pearl. Finally after so long Dimmesdale came through and played the hero card on both I and Pearl.

   After almost four years there was no one in the town that knew Chillingworth’s secret. The fact that he was my husband, no one even had a slight idea of where this odd man came from. Yet they trusted him and his “doctor” act. Chillingworth was determined to get revenge on the father of Pearl. I was the only witness to these obsessions. I am more than scared that Chillingworth might hurt my loving Dimmesdale. Only time can tell how this whole mess will end up. Only time can heal the cuts that Dimmesdale has left in my heart. Only time can help fade the disappointment I feel towards Dimmesdale.  

“I Didn’t Deserve This”                                                                                                              

I was walking with Pearl in the middle of the night because I couldn’t sleep so Pearl and I got dress and went for a middle night walk. While we were walking around we saw a light in the sky that looked like an A. I saw Dimmesdale on the scaffold looking at the sky. I looked at Pearl and she wants for Dimmesdale and told he if he would walk with her tomorrow on the scaffold. I was looking straight in to his eyes when he refused to walk will her. Once time in my life I thought about killing Pearl and I. I want to see Chillingworth to see if he will let me tell Dimmesdale the secret, which I will tell him that he is my husband. I was pleased to hear what he told me. He gave me permission to tell Dimmesdale his secret. I was ready to tell Dissesdale his secret, so I got ready and when looking to him.

I have been searching on the internet for the best site to tell a person you care a secret in a nice way. I was nervous to tell Dimmesdale Chillingworth’s secret because I have never kept a secret from someone and then had to tell it to someone. www.experienceproject.com is the website that I found I way to tell a secret to someone you care some much, more than Chillingworth. A quote that I have found was when Pearl asks Heaster why she has an A on her, Why do you wear the letter, Why does the minister keep his hands over his heart. (91) That’s what I wonder about Dimmesdale and Chillingworth
