By reading The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne, I hope to learn more about life, and punsihments, in the Puritan times. From reading the summary of this book, I expect that this book will illustrate the strict and simple lifestyles led by the Puritans.
Reggy has some very similar thoughts on this as I do:
I chose this book because I am interested in getting to know the Puritan community, their punishments, and how they treated others who had committed sin. I have not read anything about this topic, that is why I am so interested in starting to read about it.
I also hope that I will be able to make some connections from this book with the things that we studied in class about evil.
