Scarlet Letter Essay

In American Litterature we were assigned our second essay of the year. The first one was not that bad. I felt as if it just came to me, and whatever came to my head I jotted down. The topics are to talk about dimmsdales torment, and how he feels that it is a blessing from god, another would be to talk about whether it is better to live with guilt, or public shame. The third is to talk about how is Salem one could be forgiven for their sins by doing something, and how in Boston it is different. The last topic is to talk about the symbols in the Scarlet letter, and what role they play, such as the forest.

We were given a graphic orginizer so that it would be easier to write our essay. On the graphic orginizer everything is broken up so thsat writting the essay will be easier. On our graphic orginizer we need three quotes for each paragraph. On our final one it is one quote per paragraph. The essay is due on Tuesday. This gives me 3 more days to finish it.

I've already started part of it. That part is the graphic orginizer. I'm thinking of just finishing it this weekend so that I could give it to him monday to edit. Maybe if I do this I'll get a better grade. Hopefully I do since essays are a good portion of our grade. Hopefully I dont procrastinate while I am writing it, seems to always happen.

  1. Pierre- this blog is credit-worthy, but why not write about something you actually care about? I would love to hear about what makes Pierre Youssef tick.
