IM GIVING THEM CHILLS

So I heard that Hester and Pearl and Dimmesdale were going try to pull a fast one, and get on a boat and leave for Europe. If they think that I am going to let that happen, then they really must not know who I am! So as soon as I figure out exactly what boat they are getting on, I am going to talk to that captain and save myself a seat on that boat. They will never be ever to leave me, and to make sure of that, I will follow their every footstep.
So I asked a couple people around town about a boat that was going to Europe in the next couple of days, and I finally found the boat I was looking for. So I made sure that I talked to the captain of the ship, and eventually talked him in to allowing me to ride with them. So when I finished talking to the captain, I looked deep into a crowd of people and I saw Hester standing there looking super scared. So I gave her a little smirk, just for fun, to scare her a little.
So the next day, since it was Election Day, it was a big parade and what not. Then I saw that guy Dimmesdale giving his sermon, and even though I do not like him, it was an amazing sermon. So after his sermon, I saw Dimmesdale stumbling during the parade, and I was already aware of his sickness. Then I could not believe what I saw next, I saw Dimmesdale approach Hester and Pearl in front of the scaffold! I did not like what I was seeing so I had to step in. so I ran to Dimmesdale and took care of him! and Finally HE WAS DEAD! so after I finally completed my task i just fled the town. so i just went to http://www.travelocity.com/ to see some flights.

  It was the same shameful day for me even though it was Election Day. The people were so happy including Dimmesdale. The townspeople steel loves dimmesdale since he has not told them about his sin. Today he looksvery strong and healthy and I am surprised about this because he looked very sick and unhappy the last time I saw him. pearl and I was standing in the crowed just like everybody else listening to the minister Dimmesdale giving his election speech, but we weren’t evrybody else we were sinners at list that is what they call us.

While Dimmesdale was giving his speech suddenly he felt sick and he couldn’t even stand by himself so he hold on to the table that was in front of him. Then, suddenly he fails on the ground and I run over there and I tried to help him. I was so scared because he lookes so sick and he talkes very slowly. I can see from his face that he feels very guilty because he let me suffer by myself and not confessing his sin. The, my evil,ugly, and old husband comes in and Dimmesdale is not mean like him so he said ” may God forgive thee! thou, too, hast deeply sinned!” (201). I was so sad when he died, our entire plan to live as a family was gone.

After a while everything changed, I start looking for another place to live in so I went to the websit http://money.cnn.com/magazines/moneymag/best-places/ . I went to this website because I want to see my options. Chillingworthi dead so he won’t be bothering me again. I steel wear my bright scarlet letter “A” because I do not feel ashamed of what I did and I don’t care what other people think or say about me it is not there business.

Hester Prynne leading along little Pearl, in her scarlet garb, and pointing her forefinger, first at the scarlet letter on her bosom, and then at the clergyman’s own breast”(pg.116).  ah how guilty i felt inside i couldn’t handle it anymore. i began to torture my self by whipping, fasting, and also staying awake during the night to meditate upon my sin. One day when i was upon the scaffold repenting for my sin i noticed pearl and Hester, i told them to come join me. I felt revealed just us three being there holding hands, and no one was watching. I want everything to be normal with us, and i wish we could join each other to live a normal life without having people judge us.

The New Me

Day 1

I have news from one of the crewmen of a ship headed to England that Hester is planning an escape with Pearl and Dimmesdale.  I must try to stop them before it is too late.  The ship leaves in four days and I have already devised a plan.  I told the crewman to let Hester know that I “engage to bring my friend, the gentleman she wots of, aboard with him.  And they need not worry about him, only about herself and Pearl.” (162) When the message was delivered, she glanced over to me from across the marketplace, I smirked back at her.

Day 2

Today Dimmesdale delivered his “most strongest and truthful” (165) sermon yet.  After he was finished he stood upon a scaffold with Hester.  He then fell over and died.

Months Later

I have no motive in this world anymore.  My plot to get revenge on Dimmesdale has failed now that he has passed away.  Now I start to think about all the good things I could have done instead of plotting revenge.  I am too old to start anything new.  I wish I could start a new life.  Hester and Pearl have disappeared; they did not tell me where they went.  They might have taken the ship back to England.  My days are counting down, I can feel it.  I sit in my house most days, lonely and depressed wishing, and hoping that Hester and Pearl will come back so I can apologize.  If they decide to come back one day, I have left all my inheritance for Pearl, as an apology for her and her mother.  Sometimes I pick up a book about becoming a better person http://personalexcellence.co/blog/101-ways-to-be-a-better-person/.  The will of God has told me, that it is time for me to go.

Hester’s World 

Dimmesdale just revealed his sin.  I was passing by the cursed scaffold and I was surprised to see him shouting and crying upon himself. He asked for me to stand up there with him so I went there with Pearl and both of us stood up with him. Even Pearl asked him to promise us that he will take our hands and we shall all stand on the scaffold the next afternoon.  Surprisingly a comet illuminated the whole morning sky with the letter “A”, (the cursed letter). Roger then saw us all standing together. I wonder what he would be thinking at that moment to be seeing us all stand on the scaffold together. I know he would actually be happy as that was what he wanted to see.

Fortunately for me, the whole town has changed from seeing the evil and impurity in me although they still snub me but have some respect for me because I am actually good to the poor and needy.  I go around helping the sick also. I personally know that I am not a bad woman it was because of the sin that I committed made them see a different perspective of me. Also, on the other hand Roger is getting more evil and wicked every day. I think maybe I am playing in a role in that. I disgust him. I just want him to leave Dimmesdale alone and let him live his life peacefully.  He keeps on bothering the poor man. I do not want Hester involved in our business together. I went to talk to him today as he was gathering some herbs for Arthur as he had taken the responsibility upon himself to heal the Reverend. But now he is torturing the Arthur saying that it is because of Arthur he has turned in to a monster. I actually told him that I am going to eventually reveal his identity to Dimmesdale.

My little angel Pearl keeps on bothering me for this scarlet letter (A) on my bosom. She keeps making fun of it but she does not really know the meaning and I would like for it to be like that. I found Dimmesdale and told him about the secret I had been keeping for Chillingworth. He was shocked and all depressed but I had to courage him. “You wrong yourself in this,” I said gently. “You have deeply and sorely repented. Your sin is left behind you, in the days long past. Is there no reality in the penitence thus sealed and witnessed by good works? And wherefore should it not bring you peace?” I told him that we could wipe the slate clean and start a new life. I was also browsing on the web and I saw a website which helped me http://pinterest.com/lindablott/a-new-life-plan-i-hope/. Dimmesdale, Pearl and I, we are all currently living out of town. The letter now no longer bothers me as it is now removed. Image http:// workingtitle-breanna.blogspot.com

This is my last post my fellow readers, I will make this quick and to the point. I will not hide the truth from you all anymore. Even though I now see you all for your true colors, and I do not believe you deserve to read this, I will be true to myself, and will make this post public. I feel my life is slowly coming to an end, and I verified this by an article I found online of what people feel when they are about to die, http://news.softpedia.com/news/What-Do-People-Feel-in-10-Ways-to-Die-68930.shtml. More importantly, I will not let that horrible leech win this God forsaken game he has with me. I am Pearl’s father and an adulterer just like the love of my life, Hester, is. Roger Chillingworth, you will not haunt me anymore! I now realize that Hawthorne was right when he described you as, “A striking evidence of man’s faculty of transforming himself into a devil”. In my eyes you are the devil’s child and your only purpose in life was to torture me using my horrible guilt as your main weapon. I shall not let this go on. I am the one victorious, for not because of you or anyone else I am revealing this secret. I am doing this for myself, and with it I feel a weight lifted off my chest, and the doors of heaven opening. I will not fear what is next, I will greet God with my head held high as I know that even though I committed one mistake out of love for a woman, I lived a good life and followed God’s path. I regrettably realize now that I should have revealed this secret much sooner. I should have stood on that scaffold with Hester and Pearl and taken any punishment that was to come for me. However, I was too scared to come forward. I left them for 7 lonely years, and I will never forgive myself for that.

            A New Man (20-24)

          I am free of what haunted me, I feel hope that things will change. I can breathe the day’s fresh air and feel like I deserve it. I am a new man. “It was the observation of those who beheld him now, that never, since Mr. Dimmesdale first set his foot on the New England shore, had he exhibited such energy as was seen in the gait and air with which he kept his pace in the procession” ( 188). Hester and I decided we would head out to Europe to start our new lives. The sickness that use to ail me was gone when I woke up today, it seems like that good for nothing doctor was right. It was my emotions that were killing me. The love that I feel for Hester has doubled. There is one thing that troubles me, it seems Pearl is not happy with me. How could I blame her though? I left her without a father figure but now I will in some way repay her for not being in her life.

Did I mention the joy that I feel? I can see things in my future that were not there before. Hester has reached into the depth of my guilt and kept me from drowning. I will do what my heart wants now. I have thrown away my old sermon and created a new one. My new sermon is full of words that come from my soul. I hope to leave my people with some good, that they will have something that will be spiritually beneficial to them. Even though I have started to think of things that are unholy I have a part of me that still wants others to believe in God. My being has found a way to express itself through music. This is one of the songs that talks to me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBwuO5DanBs. I was thinking that I should tell the people the truth about me before I leave but when the moment comes will I have the courage to go through with it.

Hester Prynne and I had decided to meet up in the forest.

“Hester!  Hester Prynne!”, said he; “is it thou?  Art thou in life?”

“Even so.” she answered.  “In such life as has been mine these seven years past!…” (150)

This was the first time we had seen one another in seven years, it felt unrealistic.  She had asked me to meet her in the forest so she could tell me the truth about who, Roger Chillingworth was and just as I suspected it was her husband.   Although that did not matter to me I still love her just as I did before I also finally received the pleasure of meeting young Pearl, my daughter, and I love her also.  At first when I saw Pearl I was afraid that people would know she is my child because of our similar facial features but that was just a silly thought I had.  Hester had suggested that she was going to run away alone, but I would not let her do so, I would not allow us to meet for the first time in seven years then have her leave me again so I decided to go along with her to Europe so her, Pearl and I could become one big happy family.

Hester said this would be a way of leaving the past behind us and starting fresh which I believe I was really in the need of.  I still have a guilty conscious of the sin I have committed but the fact that Boston is electing a new governor and I am to write a sermon makes thing easier for me. I will write my sermon and admit my sin then hop on the boat to Europe to enjoy my new life.  Since I am moving on to forget the past I went to research “Moving on in life” and found this website that has helped me a lot http://inspirationpro.net/12-rules-for-moving-forward-in-life.

Roger here! How is it going? Its been pretty rough for me if I say so myself. I come back from Europe and see my wife like this. Where did I go wrong? So apparently there is this really popular and very loved minister in this town and everyone wants me to take care of him. I have no problem with helping a sick patient! I mean it is my job, right? So Reverend Dimmesdale comes to me asking for medical help. He is very sick so I decide to move in with him just to keep a watchful eye on him. Dimmesdale is acting very strange like he is hiding a huge secret. I am going to start sneaking around and find what is going on with him. One night while he is sleeping, I will go through all of his stuff and look for interesting clues to lead me to what he is really doing. Oh I know! I can look at his chest because he always grabs at it. It is night time and I am about to go search Dimmesdale. I am nervous he is going to wake up. I cannot find anything yet but now I am going to look at his chest. Jackpot! I found what I needed.”The physician advanced directly in front of his patient, laid his hand on his bosom, and thrust aside the vestment, that hitherto had always covered it even from the professional eye.”(111) I cannot believe he had Hester’s baby. I am going to make him suffer. Since the town thinks I am sent from god no one will know it is me who is making Dimmesdale more sick.

This is Dimmesdale with the A on his chest.

Hello once again world. I have finally found out who my father is. It is dimmesdale. Yesterday night while my mother and I were walking we had heard someone crying painfully. The cry had came from the scaffold where my mom and I stood when she was being punished for her crime. That person was  Dimmesdale. He was the dressed in his finest religious clothes. He was crying painfully that everyone could hear him. “He Felt so ashamed that he cried out in the night. His painful caused many people, even the Governor, to look out thier windows.” Page 77. Dimmesdale later calmed down but soon after reverend  Wilson had came from the bedside of a dying men. Wilson was too busy thinking about the dead person that he did not even notice Dimmesdale. Dimmesdale look as if preparing to confess is sin but he could not force himsellf to do so. Then later he heard someone’s familiar laughter. It was my mother and I. we stepped up to the platform and I stood in between Dimmesdale and my mother. My mother and Dimmesdale stood there holding hands. Dimmesdale looked as if new life flowed through him even though he was sick and tired. Both of them did not know what to say to each other. I was the one that was talking. I asked Dimmesdale, “Will you stand here with me and my mother tomorrow?” Page 79. The only thing he said to me was that he would stand here with my mother and I on Judgment Day. Then soon after Dimmesdale noticed Chillingworth in front of the scaffold looking at us with a cruel smile. He told Dimmesdale that he was probably sleep walking and to come down there and head home. Dimmesdale did what Chillingworth told him to do and went home. Then on the next day, Dimmesdale gave one of the best sermons of his career and after he was finished someone came up to him and handed him his glove. Dimmesdale did not know what to say, but the person that found it told him that probably the devil stole it and left it at the scaffold to mock him.
