Title: Pearl is a good kid!

I cannot believe this is happening to me. Why would they take my darling pearl away from her mother? Have I not suffered enough from all of this shame and ridicule? Would you dare separate a mother from her only child because of what has transpired? A daughter needs her mother. Pearl should stay because I am the only family she has ever known. I must find help. Who can come to my aid and solve this mess? This society, Puritan it may be, but they are not acting very godlike and charitable.

I know what I need to do. I must go to the governor’s house and show him, and everyone else, that Pearl should stay with me. My daughter Pearl is a blessing and a torment at the same time. I must remind the governor that I am the best person to teach her morality, because of what I have learned from the scarlet letter. When Pearl was asked questions she did not respond. When she finally talked, she answered Reverend Wilson’s question, “Who made thee?” with the response that she was not made but had been plucked by her mother off the bush that grew by the prison door.  HAHA GO PEARL! I tell that man that Pearl is both my happiness and my torture and that I cannot lose her. To my surprise, that ugly man that I once had affection for stood up and spoke on my behalf. Well done sir. Thanks to him, Pearl now is cleared to live with me under the condition that she is taught directly by one of the ministers and that she will be supervised at school and at church meetings.

I am relieved, and had it not have been the case I would have fun off to join the other witches in the forest!

I have a feeling that this will be the last thing I write ever again. I feel that my time on this earth has come to an end. The doctor, (or know known as Chillingworth, as I found that out from Hester), has pushed me to my last point. Now I do not have the will to live anymore. It saddens me that I have to leave this earth but I know there is no life left in me.

What really saddens me is that I will not be able to see my own daughter grow up, (yes everyone, my daughter is Pearl). She is such a beautiful girl and deserves to be showered with attention every second of every day. I will also dearly miss getting a chance to be with the beautiful woman Hester. She deserves a man who will treat her right.

I have come to accept my death by looking at a site with cancer patients who have come to accept their own demise. It brought hope to me that I am leaving this earth on a good note. If anyone else needs help or encouragement if you are going through the same thing should look at this site http://www.huffingtonpost.com/andrew-kneier-phd/accepting-death-and-letti_b_770398.html.

My last sermon I plan to do will blow everybody away. I was planning to call everybody out and insult a couple of people before I passed on, but now that I have come to my senses I have thought against it. I plan on leaving everybody wanting to learn more about God and all he has done for us. I know people will be sad but they should not be. All I am doing is going to heaven a couple of years before them. The best part of all of this is that I can finally leave the clutches of that devil Chillingworth. “Ha, tempter!  Methinks thou art too late!” answered the minister, encountering his eye, fearfully, but firmly.  “Thy power is not what it was!  With God’s help, I shall escape thee now!”(pg. 198)

Hello Internet. My name is Pearl Prynne. You may know me as the “Devil Child.” That’s what people call me since I’m Hester Prynne’s daughter. You may know her. She is the lady with the scarlet letter A on her chest. She is known for sinning by some law called adultery. Whatever the heck that means.

I like on the outskirts of town in this place called Boston. My mother is a seamstress. She can make these very pretty clothes that people look lovely in. Yet, even though they looked pretty on the outside, they weren’t on the inside. I see my mommy get picked on all the time. So as my mommy’s protector, I stick up for her. I yell, scream, raise my fists and argue. I guess that’s why how I got my nickname. But HEY! I don’t care. I don’t have a lot of friends as you can tell. It doesn’t matter to me though because as long as I got my mommy, I’m fine. 🙂

Can I tell you a secret internet? I do wish I had friends. I’m a little tired of playing by myself. Even though I act like a smartalic, I am a little hurt inside. (if you say any of this to anyone I will deny it internet!)

People think I’m weird and odd. I’m not just saying that too. I actually heard it. Reverend Dimmesdale said, “God has made this mother and this STRANGE child to be together. Who else knows how to handle this ODD little girl?” See, he said odd! I wasn’t lying! I don’t know why people think that but at the same time, I LOVE IT! Just because everyone talks about me! I FEEL SO POPULAR!

Well internet I do have to go now. Mother is calling me for supper so I have to go and wash up. 🙁 I will be back soon!

Pearl the A Child 🙂

I’m finally at a place in my life where I find peace. As I stood up at the scaffold with Dimmesdale, I remember him leaning on me for support. I remember him saying “ye, that have loved me!—ye, that have deemed me holy!—behold me here, the one sinner of the world!  At last—at last!—I stand upon the spot where, seven years since, I should have stood, here, with this woman, whose arm, more than the little strength wherewith I have crept hitherward, sustains me at this dreadful moment, from grovelling down upon my face!”…………… (page 200). It was hard for him to talk, so I helped him out. I tore away his ministerial garments, and there it was. On his chest also laid an ‘A’. At the end of it, the crowd recoiled in shock. Chillingworth looked like his soul died. His whole spirit was gone. Dimmesdale was no longer weak in spirit in my eyes. He now had my respect. Everyone could say whatever they wanted, but I waited all these years to finally be relieved of all this pressure. Seeing my daughter kiss her father meant everything to me. I finally got my family back. After going through hell for over about a decade, I’m happy that I made an impact on people’s lives. I am not the strongest person, but I do believe that when you do something wrong, you have to own up to the consequences. Dimmesdale and I are getting older, and my baby Pearl is growing up too. I’m really happy we all have a better relationship. I’m worried that Dimmesdale isn’t recovering at all because he still needs my help around the house and help when we’re out; he is also coughing and sleeping more. I know that our life is just about over, I just hope as Pearl grows up she leads people in the right direction. I want her to know that even though it’s not okay to sin, that when or if you do accidently slip up, you can always ask for forgiveness but never make the same mistake again. . I’ve been looking on the internet for a website that will guide Pearl into the right direction, and a website that will show her that steps to be a good Christian. Here is the website: http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2010/julyweb-only/59-11.0.html

This is the end of us.

I was finally able to tell Dimmesdale the truth. I told him about Chillingworth’s true identity. Dimmesdale was angry when I told him and he blamed me for his suffering. He was finally able to forgive me when he realized how evil Chillingworth was. We feared that Chillingworth will do something against us so we have decided to get onto a ship to Europe where we will live as a family. Dimmesdale was excited about leaving and being able to live together and I final took off the scarlet letter that was on my chest. It makes me very happy to know that Dimmesdale and Pearl will be able to treat each other like father and daughter. I called Pearl to come with Dimmesdale and I and she seemed a little upset because the A was not on my chest. Pearl was also being very indifferent with Dimmesdale. Dimmesdale gave Pearl a kiss on her forehead and Pearl ran off to wash off the kiss. I was excited to start fresh and finally be able to live with my daughter and the man that I love, but that all changed when I spoke to one of the sailors. He told me that Chillingworth would be joinng us on our passage because the ship needs a doctor. The whole town is excited about Election Day and hearing Dimmesdale’s sermon. I stood on the scaffold to listen to his sermon and I noticed that everyone was staring at me. Dimmesdale noticed Pearl and I on the scaffold on joined us. He then began to confess his sin to everyone “ye, that loved me!-ye, that have deemed me holy!- behold me here, the one sinner of the world! At last-at last!- I stand upon the spot where, seven years since, I should have stood, here, with this woman, whose arm, more than the little strength wherewith I have crept hitherward, sustains me at this dreadful moment, from groveling down upon my face! Lo, the scarlet letter which Hester waers! Ye have all shuddered at it! Wherever her walk hath been” (199-200). Dimmesdale even ripped his shirt off and revealed to everyone the mark that he made on himself. Pearl finally gave him the kiss that he had been waiting for. Dimmesdale and I excnaged some words, he said farewell and he passed away. I looked up advice on how to tell Pearl that her father had passed away. http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/health_advice/facts/death.htm

Reveal Sin Or Keep It A Secret ? Counterclaims

November4

Rev. Dimmesdale should confess his sin. If he confesses his sin he could relieve alor of stress. He would be able to get alot of things of his mind. Many people in the town see him as a truthful honest man. So speaking the truth will make him feel better being honest.

On the other hand if Dimmesdale doesn’t tell everyone he’ll keep the love from the townspeople. He wouldn’t want to ruin his popularity in the town. If he keeps it a secret he wont have the feeling of truth and honesty. Also keeping it a secret will kepp Pearl and Hester safe. Plus he can stay the towns Minister. He also wont even know exactly whats going to happen to him. He will only guess what will happen from what happen to Hester and Pearl.

In conclusion Dimmesdale should juss come up and confess because he said himself he messes up at times. So if you messed up let them know what it is.

Conflict!!

I am so nervous about the truth. The truth is something that needs to be told. Something you can’t just hide forever. As you know I’m currently living with Rev. Dimmesdale. Yes he’s a good friend of mine but lets be honest here. He commited a sin that involves me but yet wont say.

Many people in the town believe I’m doing something to help him get better. Honestly I am but that’s not the only thing I’m here for. I want the truth from Dimmesdale and I tried to get it. See what had happen was, I had a feeling or two that he was the father of Pearl. As we started to talk, I ask “Dimmesdale, old friend, in your experience as a minister, have you been able to figure out why some men refuse to confess their secret sins? After all people knows that keeping dark secrets is dangerous to the body and soul.” Dimmesdale replied, “ most men do confess their sins and find peace in their body and mind. But some men aren’t able to confess.” After Rev. said that I was pretty convenced that he had a dark nasty sin. I was close to breaking him, but as time passed by I was getting nowhere. When I asked him more questions he had a look in his face. He was upset and angry at me. We were done talking for some time and he had fell asleep.  So I went up to him, pulled open his shirt, and I seen a red A. I cant lie I smiled. I knew I was right. Now I was sure and positive that was Pearls dad.

Well now that I know I don’t know what I’m going to do now. I’m just going to do what I usually do and get back to the games. I try and keep my cool and things but that’s not something I can deal with. Plus I’m not finished handling business and I won’t be tell I’m dead.

Pearl and her Questions.

My little Pearl is now seven years old. A lot has changed in the past seven years. I discovered that my husband Chillingworth was still living. I promised Chillingworth that I would never tell anyone his true identity. I am a different person; I am much more active in my community. I bring food to the door, nurse the sick, and I help people with their troubles. People are now starting to see me different too. They are now starting to view the A as Able instead of Adulterer but there is still people who just cannot accept me and still treat me bad. Chillingworth moved in with Dimmesdale and I feel like I am causing Dimmesdale harm by keeping Chillingworth’s true identity a secret. I have decided to meet up with Chillingworth and tell him to stop torturing Dimmesdale. I will also tell him that it’s time for Dimmesdale to know is true identity. I suspect that Chillingworth knows everything that happened between Dimmesdale and I, and that he is Pearl’s father.  I talked to Chillingworth and we got into an argument, I soon realized that I hate him. As I was looking for Pearl I noticed that she had put an A on her chest and I wondered if she knew the meaning of the A that is on my chest. We started discussing it but I then decided that Pearl was too young to know the meaning of the A on my chest because she connected it to Dimmesdale always clutching his hand over his heart. For the next couple of days Pearl kept asking my about the A and Dimmesdale puts his hand over his heart “Silly Pearl, what questions are these? There are many things in this world that a child must not ask about. What know I of minister’s heart? And I as for the scarlet letter, I wear it for the sake of its gold thread” (143). I don’t know what to do, I want to tell little Pearl the truth but she’s just too young to understand. I have decided look up advice on telling kids the truth about things. I hope this website can help me come up with a way of helping Pearl understand. http://www.writingthroughlife.com/journal-writing-tips-telling-the-truth
