Hello again, my fellow readers. Today I come to tell you about a situation that happened not too long ago. I have been informed by the woman that I thought I loved, that she has betrayed my trust and has been hiding something very important from me for quite some time. For the sake of my own, I will not publish this blog but will keep it privately. Hester Prynne’s husband, the one I thought had possibly abandoned her, is really here in my own town, living under my roof! Hester’s husband is really, and has always been the physician, Roger Chillingworth! I cannot believe Hester hid this from me! 7 years of lies. I guess this is God’s way of making me suffer for my sin. If it is so, I will stand here and take any punishment the lord has for me, as what I did is unforgivable and no matter what happens I will not move on. I will not forgive myself and accept my mistakes. No matter where I go, my sin will stay with me. No matter how many years pass, my sin is not any less grave, as it was the moment I let it happen. Not even my vigil’s or numerous whippings, will ever be enough to repent it. I have even looked online for ways to repent my sin and found “The Six Steps of Repentance”, http://lds.about.com/od/basicsgospelprinciples/a/bb_repentance2.htm but not even this, is enough to make up for what I did. What is even worse about this whole situation is that all my fellow puritans love and cherish me, hidden from the fact that I too, am an adulterer. Hester is lucky to be wearing that letter and let everyone know of her sin. I, On the other hand, must live with this undeserved fame and live every second of my life with heart-piercing guilt.

As soon as Alex managed to free himself  from his uncles car, he found himself face to face with two workers from before. then he noticed that one of them was the driver of the chairman. Alex saw the man reach into his jacket and instantly swung into action.”Now Alex brought up one leg, twisted his body around, and lashed out. The back kick- Ushirogeri- is said to be the most lethal in karate. His foot powered into the mans abdomen with such force that the man didn’t even have time to cry out. His eyes bulged and his mouth dropped half open in surprise. Then, with his hand still half way into his jacket, he crumpled to the ground.” I think that Alex will escape the lot and find out what or who actually killed Ian Rider.

My name is Dimmesdale, and i am one of the reverends in the town of Boston. I am mostly known for being one of the most trusted reverends in Boston. Up until now my life has been normal, until one of my followers  Hester Prynne committed The sin of adultery, and now i am responsible for her soul. i am concerned about how Hester child is going to turn out under her teachings. I hope that little pearl will not follow in the foot steps of her mother. I’m a little surprised at how well Hester can control Pearl as well as she can, even though “pearl did not always obey her mother and did not respond to any kind of punishment” (53 and 54). My greatest hope is that Hester will revel the person that committed this sin with her and save herself from this terrible sin. Most of the people in the town believe that Hester and her daughter pearl should have been killed for what Hester did and how pearl was born. Other people think that pearl should be raised by another family but that isn’t going to be decided for another few years because of the current age of the child.

I feel sorry little sorry for Hester, because of how the people in this town treats her. To me Hester is still young and need a little more experience in the world. She is doing a pretty good job raising her child. I think that pearl is helping to teach Hester a little more about why her sin was wrong and trying to teach Pearl not to do the things that she did. I am going to help Hester as much as i can, and try to get her to revel the sinner that did this to her. I hope that the other reverends and Chillingworth will see what i see in Hester Prynne.

Hello, im Hester. My story is all kinds off messed up!!! My husband ship me off here to Boston. He promised to come after me, but never did. My husband and I were never really in love. He was just someone who could take care of me and he knew that. After waiting for years I finally moved on and I fell in love with another man. And I ended up pregnant. After giving birth I had to go in front of everyone in town and explain myself how this happen. The one thing I was not going to say is who the father of my child is. But as I’m up their I look in the crowd of people and I cant believe my eye’s it’s, it’s….. my husbands!!!!  OMG! What is he doing here?!?!?!?

Hello, my name is Hester Prynne and I am here to tell you how it all started. I was sent to the New World by my husband Roger Chillingworth, he did not join me because he said had some business to take care of before he joined me. When I first came to this New World I was excited but wished my husband could have joined me, but all I could do is wait. Years had past and he still had not come to me, he did not send any letters to let me know he was alright so I was left worried, I did not know if he was still alive. When I came to a conclusion that something might have happened to him, I labeled myself as a widow. Then with a blink of an eye I feel like my life flashed before my eyes. I was standing on top of a scaffold with my daughter in my arms. I had everybody judging me and calling me all types of names and I could not say anything in return. They planned on cutting my head off, wish I think they got that idea from this website; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decapitation. But, that plan could not work because as far as they knew I could be a widow since my husband never showed up in years and also because they do not know who the father of my child is. Just when I though nothing could get any worst I looked into the crowd and seen a very familiar face. I blinked my eyes a couple times to see if my eyes where playing tricks on me, and realized it was my husband Roger Chillingworth. I felt like I felt terrible and scared at the same time, I did not know what I should have done. Just when I was about to open my mouth, he put his index finger over his mouth basically telling me to be quiet and not to say a word.

In A Moth To A Flame Raven just left her dad’s house to go live with Mizan. Ethic picked her up and took her to his house but made her walk down the street so Mizan wouldn’t know where he lived. When Mizan picks Raven up and takes her to his house where after sex he makes her promise to be his forever. I predict that Mizan will start beating Raven. he seems very possessive and he’s constantly giving her drugs like it’s going out of style. Earlier in the novel he tried to rob her house and one of his friends almost shot her. Mizan also thinks how he’s happy that Raven is young so that he can shape the way she thinks and feels “The fact that she had gone against the grain to be with him proved that he had her emotions in his pocket, and an emotional young girl was easy to manipulate,” and he also insinuates that if she gets out of line he’ll have to discipline her. Raven is very naive when it comes to things going on around her. When she was getting robbed, Mizan who was there as a guest, didn’t even stick around to help her he left. Ethic was the one who killed the intruders. Ethic and her dad realized all the bad things started happening when Mizan came into her life but all Raven saw was a cute, older, guy who paid attention to her. She alienated the people who cared about her for someone who was only using her to kill her dad and take over his business.

The people in my life

My life so far has been crazy for the seven years that I’ve been around. Many things have happen to me Pearl Prynn but I accept them and deal with them.  My mother also has a tough life and I’m faced to see it. Some of the thing that I see happen to my mom hurt me so deep inside and sometimes mentally.  Sometimes I even fell that thing could not get any worst, but yet it does. Then again it’s a part of life and what does not kill you makes you stronger. I learn this when me and my to the governor house “on our way to the governor house we walk passed a couple of kids and they picked up dirt and threw it. And in my anger I scream and ran.”

From stuff like this happen to me I have learn to not get stressed and just forget about things. I try to not let people make me mad or get on my bad side.  I try to always bring the bright out of things. I learn that things happen for a reason so if happens then, there is something greater for me in the future. I also learn to forgive and forget. And the funny thing that may shock some people is that I learn this all from my mom. So many think that she is worthless now since her sin. But they do not know is what happen behind close doors. So they will never  under stand . but if anyone out there who can please blog back.

Counterclaims:  Dimmesdale

Dimmesdale should confess that he committed a sin to the town’s people because if he gets it off him chest then he will feel less stress and he will get better in health. By him keeping all these things bottled up inside it’s wearing his body down mentally and emotionally. He should also confess because he is not being a true man because he is not stand up and doing his responsibilities.  Dimmesdale is responsible for   pearl.  He also can make everybody else life easier if he confess.

I understand why some may think that Demmesdale should keep it a secret because it will ruin his career and everyone will be mad at him and not respect him as a reverend.  People do not want him to lose his credibility. And  someone of his stature committing something of this crime would almost end his life because he the teachers of  puritan language . this could also affect his health even worst if he prolong it..

Standing on the scaffold was simply degrading. Having everyone laugh and point as I stand their humiliated. But I wouldn’t give them the satisfaction of seeing me upset. I made an extravagant dress that was both envied and hated. The A. The A that they tried to punish me with, I spit back in their face.  “A. It was so artistically done, and with so much fertility and gorgeous luxuriance of fancy, that it had all the effect of a last and fitting decoration to the apparel which she wore; and which was of a splendor in accordance with the taste of the age, but greatly beyond what was allowed by the sumptuary regulations of the colony.” pg. 45. As if the humiliation wasn’t bad enough but who should show his face other than my “beloved” Chillingworth. A man as cold as ice, his name suits him don’t you think? Chillingworth. I felt my heart drop to my stomach and my moth go dry. Before I even had a chance to think straight he lifted his finger to his mouth telling me to be quiet. I couldn’t even laugh at the irony of Dimmesdale praying for my soul.

After I was sent back into the prison I was irritated that I was constantly being watched. Like an animal I was being caged and looked on in amusement and awe at a real life sinner. I am apologetic for my sin but this treatment is unnecessary. To my surprise and horror in walked Chillingworth.  “Prithee, friend, leave me alone with my patient,” said the practitioner. “Trust me, good jailer, you shall briefly have peace in your house; and, I promise you, Mistress Prynne shall hereafter be more amenable to just authority than you may have found her heretofore.” -pg 59.I can’t believe the guards would let him be in here alone with me. he tries to give me this horrid medicine that supposedly would make me more compliant but I refused to drink it. He demanded for me to tell him who Pearl’s father was but I wouldn’t and we agreed that he wouldn’t reveal his identity. I just hope Dimmesdale will be ok.

After they released me from prison I stayed in the Puritan colony on the outskirts. I devoted myself to charity to others although they treat me like dirt. I sew garments for everybody and everything except weddings. As if a garment made by my hands could somehow tarnish the sacredness of a marriage.

I’m worried about Pearl . I love my baby but I just worry about her so much. I see so much of myself inside of her. She’s moddy, passionate , mischievous,  and defiant. All a definite “no-no” around here. Maybe I should have left when I had the chance. No, I need to face my sin right here. I would be nothing but a coward if I left. I try to teach her about God but she just says “I have no heavenly father!,” -80. I told her she must not say those things. To think, what if someone from town heard her. She would surely be killed and I don’t think I could take that.
