I'm reading 'The Crucible' & 'The Scarlett Letter'.
The Scarlet Letter is one of the four greatest novels in American literature. Pay attention to the symbolism and imagery Hawthorne uses, particularly the symbol of Hester's daughter, Pearl, clashing with the Puritan imagery surrounding her. The novel also masterfully interweaves well developed themes of judgment, hypocricy, guilt, redemption, individualism and feminism.
My AP English teacher is going in depth with the book. Luckily I have already seen the 1926 version of the movie, so I have a grasp understanding of what's going on.
If anything in this life is certain, if history has taught us anything, it is that you can kill anyone. ~ Michael Corlelone
