The realist reverend out there

October22

I am the realist reverend out there.

There has never been a level of talent possessed by one man except for me. I am making all of the other reverends in our community look bad because I have been blessed by God more than anyone else has been. If anyone needs help preaching like me here is a site to help, www.preaching.com/resources/.  They called me to do a trial on a girl called Hester because she committed adultery with some man in the community. We do not know who the man is yet. That is why they called me to come and try to get it out of her to give up the name of the man she sinned with.

I got there and she seemed to be alright with the sin she commit. Her A was fancy and looked like she took time making her A. she did not seem like the sin upset her at all. When I started to ask her about the man she sinned with, she told me that she would not give up the name and would protect his identity to the death. She made me look like a fool up there on the podium. The day will come though when I find out who fathered her child se he can be punished as well. ” If thou
feelest it to be for thy soul’s peace, and that thy earthly
punishment will thereby be made more effectual to salvation, I
charge thee to speak out the name of thy fellow-sinner and
fellow-sufferer!  Be not silent from any mistaken pity and
tenderness for him; for, believe me, Hester, though he were to
step down from a high place, and stand there beside thee, on thy
pedestal of shame, yet better were it so than to hide a guilty
heart through life.”

Dimmesdale Is Trustworthy

October22

Hello, I am Reverend Dimmesedale and I live in Boston. I’m the only reverend in my town. My relationship with the people of my town trusts me with any and everything. Even if I lied about something or would not admit the truth about something the townspeople would still believe me. Honestly I feel bad because the townspeople think I’m innocent and I do nothing wrong, but that is not true. I have a special relationship with one of the townspeople. Nobody knows who that is except for me and the women. The women’s name is Hester Prynne, she is my lover.  Three years ago Hester and I slept together, and the whole town found out. The town does not know that she slept with me, Rev. Dimmesdale. When the town found out she had to wear this scarlet letter because she committed adultery. The letter was an A and it stood for adultery.  Everybody thinks that her husband is dead. Hester has a child and her name is Pearl. I’m not sure if I’m her father, but I feel like I have a special bond with Pearl. My dream is that we find out who Pearl’s father is and maybe I can let my secret out in the open. I am becoming very sick but I don’t want any doctors to help me. I do not know why I am so sick. Nobody knows or has heard of my sickness. I think that if God wants me to leave off the earth then he would have given me a sign. Until then God wants me to stay on this earth and help my fellow townspeople. There is a new doctor that came to Boston, his name is Roger Chillingsworth.  He is now my medical advisor. This means that he is going to live with me and find out what is wrong and why am I sick. I think Dr. Chillingworth is actually a good doctor; he lets me know any and everything that’s going on with my body. Ever since he became my medical advisor we have become very good friends.

Hello, I am Reverend Dimmesdale

October22

I am the reverend in this town of Boston, Massachusetts.  I spend most of my time in church cherishing my time. I achieved my fame back when I lived in England.   I am single but I am in love with a beautiful young lady named Hester.  I have caused a horrible problem between her and me because she is married but she has committed adultery and I am the person she had sex with. Hester and I try to keep in touch but at the same time try to keep our distance so no one would suspect anything of us being together.  She has decided to keep me, the father of her child a secret to protect me because I would be humiliated or even worse killed.  Although one day in public Pearl, my daughter who has never met me before, she ran up to me and held my hand as if she did know who I was. I felt a connection between us.  My job is conflicting between my emotions very badly. Me being the reverend of the town everyone seems to look up to me and applaud my good deeds but if they were to find out that I had committed a sin they would hate me for sure. The guilt inside is tormenting me and I have no idea weather to tell the truth or keep this between Hester and I.

The author of The Scarlet Letter purpose for writing the book is to criticize Puritan life.  He shows how religious they are and how they take complete honor in their belief. But he is also showing how they are not perfect.  As if he feels that a person should not be judged because of their actions or mistakes and it should not bring them down their entire life.  People should build up and fight against their mistakes, yes they did wrong but they can learn a lesson from it.

HESTER NEEDS TO CHILLLLLLLLL
I am currently married to a woman named Hester. Since I am a sailor I sent her to Boston, and I told her that I was going to meet her there. I love her dearly and I would never do anything to hurt her, and I don’t think she would do anything to hurt me either.
So after a while, I finally reached Boston. Then I saw everyone surrounding somewhere. So I moved closer to the group and realized that there was a women on a platform with a bay and a stylishly stitched A on her busom. So as I was looking at this woman that everyone was staring at, she began to stare at me with a very strange but familiar look. After a few minutes of staring at each other I then noticed that it was her, my wife, Hester.
I wanted to know what she was being trialed with, so I asked one of the townsmen that were watching. The townsmen told me “She hath raised a great scandal, I promise you, in godly Master Dimmesdale’s church” (51). After I found out that was her, I was astonished. Then I really began to think, why she was holding that baby in her hand. I know that I didn’t impregnate her before I sent her off. So she must have committed adultery! So I had to get to the bottom of this. I wanted to talk to her personally to find out what was really going on. So I decided that when she goes back to her cell, I will impersonate a doctor. I know they said they needed a doctor because of the strange behavior of that baby. This is not mine! So I looked up some information on how to be a fake doctor and this website http://www.bls.gov/k12/help06.htm. I can’t believe that this foul woman could do this to me. Revenge is coming to her, and whoever is the father of that child.

HardTimesWithDimmesdale

October22

Hello my name is Dimmesdale I am the Reverend oh this town.  I became in love with Hester Although I will not confess it publicly I know I am the father of her child. I want to take care of my daughter pearl. I feel emotional inside I keep tormenting myself physically and psychologically. Now I am developing a heart condition. I have feelings of sinfulness and need to confess. I live in England. I am a puritan.

As a minister I have a voice that consoles and an ability to sway my audiences.  As I was standing in public I grab my daughter’s hand and right away I felt a connection. Even though pearl did not know who I was but I’m sure she was figuring it out. I am a well-educated man and my words and thoughts reach out to the people. I am single but in love with hester even though she’s married and committed adultery and has been to jail. Now that she is out of jail I do see them more often. Me being the reverend of this town everyone looks up to me and takes my advice.

Hester went to church and wanted me to speak for her so that she wouldn’t lose our child. If anyone found out that I was the father of hesters child I would get locked up or maybe even killed. I know I commited a sin and I have no idea how to fix the guilt inside of me.

My job is conflict with my emotions. I seen hester around town wearing an “A” like this I feel like someone will found out our secret and we both will be humiliated.

I would refer this book to a friend because it states fact about things that people should know. This book is a good book and well written.  This book would be great for someone who loves to read. It brings a lot of attention and can be understood. The scarlet letter is a purposeful book and could be recommended. I would refer this book to a friend .

My Sin

Hi there! My name is Hester Prynne and I am a Puritan women. I live in America, by myself, I had a husband but he was captured by Indians and was killed. I have been through so many struggles lately. The people of the town in which I live in despise me. Everyone in town says horrible things about me “but did ever a woman, before this brazen hussy, contrive such a way of showing it?” (46). I suppose it is my fault for making them hate me so much. I committed a sin. Not just any sin, a terrible sin, I slept with another man, while still being married to my husband. For the Puritans adultery is an unforgivable sin. What makes matters worse is that I committed the sin with the reverend of the town.  Nobody in town knows that I had the affair with the reverend, all they know is that I committed adultery and for that have been punished severely. I was sent to prison for committing the adultery and I was so embarrassed when I was made to stand on the scaffold in front of everyone. I also had to wear the letter A on everything that I wore. They made me wear the letter A on my clothes because the A stood for adultery and that way everyone would know that I was an adulterer. I later found out that I was pregnant. The reverend was the father of my child. Months later I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl who I named Pearl. Pearl is my daughter and I love her very much. It is not her fault that I have made so many mistakes in life. I feel as if everyone looks at her in a bad way because they know that she was to product of an affair. I have been searching up website that help dealing with gossip. I found this website and i has really helped a lot: http://www.studentlife.com/blog/?p=762 . I will do my best to keep calm and protect my daughter in any way that I can.

Mommy and me

                The world I live in and the life I live oh how many challenges I face.  Times in my life I feel like I just want to end, but when I say that I do not mean like killing myself I mean like all the drama and malarkey.  I hate that so many people judge my family, my mom and I, but I quote on quote do not have a dad but I do at the same time.  My mother knows who he is but will not tell me. That’s the tough part my dad is running around here every day and knows me and most likely sees me and will not even tell me.  The struggle of my life, but that’s just the least of my struggles. I go through out my day most of time hearing things about my mom that make me burn in the inside like “I’d like to tear that flashy dress off of her. Instead she should wear filthy rags”.

Now that you heard all my drama and tom foolery, you should know that that there are some bright spots. The things that bring a little light to my day are the bound that I have with my mom.  My mother is my best friend and my enemy at times. She May have did some things that might not be seen to some as good deed, but she is learning and trying to grow from it. And that’s all that matters to me, I just that people stay off our case and just see us for what’s in the moment and not the pass. But it’s what happen in life so I have to deal with it.

Nobody is perfect!

October22
    • Hi, my name is Hester Prynne I am a puritan woman i live in Boston with my daughter Pearl. I live in a town with people that talk about me, stare at me, judge me, & hate me. I committed an adultery. I married Roger Chillinworth that is my husband. When i committed the adultery i got pregnant and that is when my girl pearl was born. she is a very unique child. I am not the same as other puritan women. I am a beautiful and stunning women. When the town found out that i committed the adultery they put me in front of the whole town and said what i have done. They wanted me to confess who was my baby father but i could not do it. i kept it to my self i did not tell anyone. I went to jail for many years i paid for what i did. Now i have to walk around the town with a bright letter ‘A’ on my chest. The people in the town say i committed a sin. I do not think i committed a sin. I did not kill anyone, i did not harm anyone. I am not ashamed of what i did. Due to what i did now i have my be loving daughter. I love my daughter i will fight for her here and anywhere in the world. I will not let anyone take her away from me. Noone needs to know who is my baby’s father name. I Do not want to reveld the name because he is well known in the town and if i say that he might say it is not true and of course they are not going to belive me because of what i did. No one will believe me but they will believe him. That is the reason why i do not tell anyone who is my baby’s father.  The site that helped me a lot was ed.wikipedia.org ed.wikipedia.org  NORA JIMENEZ

Hester

Chill to the Chilling

My life up until now has been good but since I found out that my wife had a child when I haven’t    even been with her for 2 years.  I and my wife Hester came from Europe to America to settle down. She was supposed to set up the house while I was going the finish business in Holland. I got busy in Holland that’s why I couldn’t go back but behind my back she has a child with some other guy.  My wife is beautiful she married me because I am rich; I knew she never loved me but we still stayed together because we were arranged married.  People describe me as an ugly, old, wrinkle faced man. I am ashamed of having Dimmesdale‘s child, I don’t like that guy.

I am so mad at Dimmesdale that I want revenge from him. He has crossed his limits, how can he do that to me? On the other side it’s equally Hester’s fault, she should have understood that I would have come back. I was only gone for 2 years without any contact. I trusted her to leave her alone so she can be a good wife and take care of the house.  I honestly thought Hester would prove herself to be a good Puritan wife but she has broken my trust. I just wanted this relationship to work out even though I am not handsome; I still have feelings inside me it should have matter to her. My plan for revenge is that I am going to kill Dimmesdale which is going to be his punishment for doing this to me. Hester’s punishment would be seeing Dimmesdale death. Either way I would be successful to have my revenge on both of them. You’re going to die Dimmesdale! http://www.wikihow.com/Scheme-and-Get-Revenge
