In ‘Confessions of A Murder Suspect’ it is very confusing. It is so hard for the reader to guess who killed Malcolm and Maud Angel. Yet, I can evaluated  that Tandy will get to the bottom of it. In chapter 10, when Tandy goes to the Police Station she quotes, ” Whoever killed my parents, I will find out with or without your help.” You can tell in the tone that she is determined to to find out whoever did it. Tandy is not a suspect in my opinion.

As I reached chapter 4, my book ‘Confessions of A Murder Suspect’ becomes more interesting. When the cops further investigate the family, the realize something about the Angel family. They notice that not one family member is sad nor broken down. They have no emotion on their face. I predict that the police men will start to think that someone in the Angel family murdered the parents. Tandy and her family show the attitudes that give of that factor of suspicion.

We finally got to see the Reverend again the other day.  Well I did not talk to him much, but mother did.  One of the mistresses, who I heard was going to be executed soon, was telling me about someone called “the black man.” “The black man” is apparently the reason Mother wears that letter on her chest.  The reverend must of met “the black man” at some point, because he is always grabbing his chest; it is almost as if he has one of those letters on his heart, but what do I know.  So mother and I went for a walk in the forest to see him.  While I was playing with the animals, they follow me for some reason, that Reverend must have tricked mother into taking the letter off of her chest.  This was so strange because she has never taken the letter off.  I asked her “Why doth the minister sit yonder?” and she told me “He waits to welcome thee,” she said “come now and entreat his blessing! He loves thee, my little Pearl, and loves thy mother, too. Wilt thou not love him? Come he longs to greet thee!” I was pretty skeptical about him loving us so I asked mother, “Will he go back with us, hand in hand, we three together, into the town?” (Hawthorne, 167)  She said he would not today, but he will be with us in a few days.  But if he cannot even walk with us into town for the next few days, then I will not talk to him for the next few days.  Mother says that we are to leave for Europe on a ship within the next few days!  I hope that we do not have to miss Election Day; it is our only holiday of the year.  I still do not see why we cannot just stay in one of the colonies.  We could even live in the wild, on our own.  I saw this cool link on how to build a log cabin all on your own! http://tinyhouseblog.com/construction-articles/build-your-own-tiny-log-cabin-part-2/ Sadly I looked over the list of items we would need, and I do not think most of those exist.

The strangest thing happened the other night.  Me and mother were walking home late at night, and we passed by that scaffold in the middle of the market place.  And standing there alone was that Minister that Mother hasn’t dared to speak to in years.  He was just standing there all alone so we decided to walk up and join him.  A few minutes passed and almost as bright as the sun, an enormous “A” shone in the sky.  The moment that happened I just knew He belonged with me and mother.  I asked him “Wilt thou stand here with mother and me, to-morrow noontide?” and he had the nerve to say “Nay; not so, my little Pearl.” (Hawthorne, 122) I will not speak to him until he can walk into town with mother and me so that everyone can see.   A few days later mother decided to talk to that hideous, evil, old man; so I decided to go play by the water with my friends.  I decided to make a dress out of things I found by the water; I even made an “A” out of seaweed so I could be just like mother.  I do not think she liked it though.  I asked her what it meant but she still refuses to tell me.  Maybe when I get older she will tell me what it means and why she has worn it since before I can even remember.  I saw this really cool thing online about a concept people in India follow. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karma It is called karma.  It means that if you do good things to others and you are not bad to one another, then good things will happen to you once you die.  It would be great if our people could think about karma every once and a while; maybe people would not be so mean to each other.

Here and gone

Have you ever not known something almost all of your life that just might be vitally important? Well I have. I’m just finding out who my father is. The weird thing about the situation is that he was there for everyday even before he told me, but he just did not have the guts to speak up. I mean this is a hard to just come out and say to someone, but he knows me well enough that I warm and understanding person. But this means nothing now that he died.

That’s what bothers me the most because soon after I found out he was gone. So it did not get know him more in depth.  I Had question for him like what made not able to confess your sin with my mother?,  or how did you feel seeing my mother go through so much while you just kind of set back and watch.  But I just did not want him to feel pressured but also ask him how we can make things better. What were some funny story that happen to you, what are his interest. He is my dad any no matter what happened I would have loved  him and cared to finally have a family

gotten worse. I really don’t think i can leave with this sin. I ran into Hester the other day, and was really happy because i have been thinking of her. She tells me to meet her in the forest the next day, because she has something important to tell me. I went to the forest where my Hester and pearl where waiting for me. I wounderd what was so important that she wanted to meet me in such a secretive area as the forest. What she told me was unbelievable. The so called doctor Mr. chillingworth was her husband. This all makes sense to me now, the fact he has only wanted to live with me so he can torture me for what i have done. That is the work of the devil i never trusted him, and knew he was always up to something. Hester tells me that we should go to Europe to live their, because it has a better environment for my health, and we could live a good life. She says she nows a ship crew member that will depart for England. I was pleased with her deaccession, and would do anything for us three to stay together. When i got home i told Mr. chillingworth that i will not be needing him any more , but i kept the secret of his identity to my self. Election day is coming up, and i plan on giving one of the best sermons. I write a couple of sermons, but i wasn’t truly satasfied., now i got it I put my heart, and experiences from my sin to this sermon. Election day is here, and i am giving my sermon speech i couldnt believe how moving it was for the crowd. When it was all done, and people where leaving i called over Hester and pearl. God has touched my soul, and it was time for people to now the truth i couldn’t hold it in any longer.”For thee and Pearl, be it as God shall order,” said the minister “and God is merciful! Let me now do the will which He hath made plain before my sight(pg.199). God is calling my name so i repented for my sin, and said goodbye to my loved ones.

A New and Different Life

We have finally decided to leave the town and start a new life of our own together. With no distractions in it we sure can have peace and be a happy family. Roger came on later offering Dimmesdale medication which was not needed and so he was dismissed. Today is the big day for the townspeople as it is a national holiday as well as for Dimmesdale as he is about to give his sermon to the townspeople.

The governor is about to take office. Pearl and I decided to go to the market place and witness the occasion. Surprisingly Pearl sees Dimmesdale and does not recognize him. Unfortunately the captain of the ship told us that Chillingworth will be on the ship joining our party. And also the ship needs a doctor. That message got me so pissed off and surprised. Rev. Dimmesdale just started his sermon which I know is expected to be the best of all sermons and one of the most holy from the amount of congregation gathered around the market place and the church. He was not in a good condition. He was very ill and could not even walk straight.  I was stunned to see Dimmesdale actually stop at the scaffold requesting that we stand up with him up there. “Hester,” said he, “come hither! Come, my little Pearl!” I immediately accepted it and Pearl was so happy to know that this man was his father. She hugged him and did not even want to let go of him. It was very emotional.

Dimmesdale confessed and even show his self-inflicted (A) mark on his chest. Chillingworth was mad to see the Rev. confessing as he took it as his duty to torture and inflict all type of pain on the man who had a child with his wife. Dimmesdale was extremely ill and as he finished confessing died there on the scaffold. I know he died with a light heart and clear conscience. I was caught up in a really grieving purpose. I consulted the internet and found help from a website http://www.helpguide.org/mental/helping_grieving.htm  A year after the tragic incidence evil Chillingworth seeing that he has no purpose in the world dies. He left all his property with Pearl in New England. I disappeared with Pearl and she is now grown up. I returned back to the town and most of the women would come to me for counseling.

Today was a weird day.  We finally left that disgusting place.  Mother and I rarely pass that rose bush near the door, but today we did, and we didn’t come back.  We moved out to this small cottage on the outskirts of town, which is good because I don’t care for anyone in the town.  I don’t know why everyone in the town is so mean.  It is like we cannot even go for a walk through the town without being heckled at by everyone, including the elderly and even other children.  Everyone is so fascinated with that letter my mother wears on her chest; I think it is because she hand made it, because all kinds of people have been stopping by to ask her to make her something.  None of her work so far is as good as the letter she wears. I wish she would stop taking to that old man they call Chillingworth, he really scares me and he keeps glaring at me as if he is trying to recognize me.  I do like that reverend though, he is definitely hiding something from everyone and it is obviously tearing him up inside.  How does no one notice?  Gosh! Everyone around me is so stupid!  I wish we could just leave this place and go somewhere where the people aren’t so cruel to one another.  Me and mother went over to the Governors house today.  Mother had some loud argument with the Governor and the Reverend.  Whatever it was about, it got Mother really upset; she even got on her knees and begged to the Reverend, and he gave her what she wanted.  It is so obvious they love each other.  I saw this really cool website about a place where they do not judge people.  http://www.visitpa.com/ They are saying that everyone is welcome and they are truly religiously free.  That would be so nice I hate all of this god stuff everyone keeps trying to teach me.

It’s Roger here! So I have been walking around the town hearing some strange rumors. They were that Hester and Dimmesdale were going to leave Boston. I do not think so! They thought they could get away from me so easily but that is not possible. I need to figure out what boat they are going to go on so I can try and get a spot. How am I going to figure out which boat though? Well Hester does help out a captain when she helps out the community. I can go ask him right now if she is on that boat. Hooray! I found the right boat! Hester is going to be so mad when she sees me waiting for her on the boat. I wonder why they are trying to leave Boston. Maybe for Dimmesdale so he could get healthier. I do no know! Oh I almost forgot! Today is election day! The parade is happening right now! Ew, there is Dimmesdale giving his sermon. Except his sermon is absolutely amazing. Wait what is this? Dimmesdale is stumbling towards Hester and Pearl? Gosh, he is really weak because of his sickness.”But he fought back the bodily weakness-and,still more, the faintness of heart-that was striving for the mastery with him”(200) I did a good job! What is about to happen? Is the truth between them going to come out so the whole town knows? He falls to the ground and dies. I am in shock that he died right then and there. I better get out of here or else people are going to blame me for his death because I did not successfully save him.

I found this website for Chillingworth because he needed to get out of the town before people started coming to him and asking him why he could not save Dimmesdale.
