Kyla S: In my opinion, I do believe Dimmesdale is a hypocrite because he always tells others how they should be honest and hold no secrets. Yet Dimmesdale isn’t such a great example himself, he is always quiet about himself and when he speaks to others he isn’t completely honest and makes himself seem like an amazing person. He also acts like he’s a saint and he’s all that of an example.

Yousif s:In my opinion he is honestly a hypocrite because he sits there and makes a false image of himself and not only did  people believe that Image,they trusted and respect a false version of someone.He lived pretty much a double life and couldn’t do what he preached which was a life without sin.

Michael Pajaro- In my opinion, I believe Dimmsedale is a hypocrite without even realizing it. He is constantly telling others how to live in such a positive manner without even realizing that he is not completely honest and open with himself, which is why he can't realize that he isn't living how he preaches. I find it strange how he tries so hard to push his "beliefs" on how people should live when he is living in a way that is almost the opposite of how he speaks

Justin Bayait In my opinion he is a hypocrite. He stands in front of pretty much everyone of his followers and preaches to live the exact opposite way of life he lives. Although he is most definitely hypocrite I still think he is still he believes in what he is teaching the crowd and wants the best for everyone that listens to him religiously. Although Dimmesdale might not deserve praise I don't think he deserves disdain. On the other hand he is lying to puritians so he is playing with fire.

Michael Salvatore- I think that Dimmsedale is a hypocrite because he tells everyone to live sin free while he is holding in secrects that go against his own law. After he commits sins he makes it seem like he is a normal person while he is lying right to them.

gannat - I think he is a hypocrite because he's telling people to be honest and open yet he has huge secrets that he is being quiet about.When he spoke in front of everyone he wasn't fully honest and was desperate for people to believe him

Derick- To me I think Dimmesdale is worthy of his praise. He understands that what he has done is wrong and he punishes himself for it, this alone shows that he's regretful and remorseful of his actions. The only reason why he's able to preach so beautifully is because he knows how it feels to fall from the Grace of God. Although his preachings are good and he is praised by the town he still hates himself. He preaches to the people to be honest. Although this can be interrupted as Dimmesdale being a hypocrite, I believe that it's telling the people the only thing that honesty can set them free. Unfortunately it's gone too far for him to take that advice.

Kaylin- I believe he is a hypocrite because he is the one holding this big secret yet he is the one praising everyone to be honest and not sinful keeping their secrets in. By him preaching to everyone to be honest he is pursuing the act of a hypocrite. He is making himself feel better as if he is perfect and lives in all honesty.

mia- I think Dimnesdale gets what he deserves and is a hypocrite. You are suppose to practice what you preach but yet he does not. He tells the Townspeople to be true about themselves and to own up to their sins/secrets. This is where he is not backing up what he is saying because he's not honest to others about himself. Dimnesdale goes in front of the townspeople to "confess" his mistakes but he doesn't say his sins. This in fact makes him a hypocrite since he saying one thing but doing the total oppsite.

Nasya- I think that Dimmesdale is a hypocrite because of the fact that he would tell the townspeople to basically be honest and own up to their sins and secrets yet he doesn't necessarily do that himself. He pretends to be this nice honest guy that means well, when in reality he's not. He hides the sinful side of him to seem like a good person.

Stephen Young- I think and truly believe Dimmesdale is a hypocrite, he was telling everyone to live honestly and not hold in lies or sins or keep any secrets meanwhile he has this big secret that he won´t share and is keeping to himself. When he stands in front of the townspeople to tell the truth (or so he says) He barely said anything and did not end up telling or confessing to them at all. He lies while he tells others not to lie, he is very much a hypocritical person.

Kathryn Fedosh - I believe that Dimmesdale is a hypocrite. He tells the townspeople to live a free life and not keep in any sins or secrets, but yet he is not even abiding to his own advice and still withholds his own. He tried to tell the townspeople his secret but just ended up making it sound like more of a modest attempt than a confession.

Matthew Venutolo- I feel as if Dimmesdale is very hypocritical. He acts as if he is a good person, while he commits many sins and bad acts. He acts like he lives an honest life but hides most of his secrets from anyone. This is just a very hypocritical person and they way he acts just contradicts the way he actually is.

Natalie Savage- I think that Dimmesdale is a hypocrite because he is holding in this big secret of his and he's not telling anyone. He is telling people that they should live an honest life and tells them how to live even though he is the one  not being honest.

ashley castaneda- He is very hypocritical because he preaches about honesty and lets people know there are certain ways to act and live life. Its the towns people holding him to that level so he never corrects himself or reveals anything bad about him. Hes very two faced and has secrets of his own.

Makenzie Marsh- Dimmesdale is a hypocrite because he tells people they need to act a certain way and live their life the way he tells them to. He wants everyone to live this life free of sin and lets people believe that he is perfect and the most holy person to walk the earth. He doesn't correct people when they said he is devout, which shows he is a hypocrite and is a liar.

Bobby Ulmer-I feel like Dimmesdale is a hypocrite, because he has a big secret that he refuses to tell anyone, and refuses to tell the whole truth. He also a hypocrie because he thinks he lives a honest life and try to tell everyone to live a honest life. He commits sins but acts like its normal for him and he is a good person.

Keith Ferris - I think he's a hypocrite. He preaches to everyone telling them to live honestly but he does not abide by his own laws and lives sinfully. He commits sins and tries to hide them so seem like a good person in front of the crowd.

Avery West- I do think that Dimmesdale is a hypocrite because he just disregards the fact that he is a sinner and acts like he is some saint. When he spoke infront front of everyone he did not include the full truth and made it seem like everyone should believe him.

Madison Robel- I think he is a hypocrite, because he is praising and telling everyone to live honestly and not hold in lies or sins. But, he has this big secret that he is not sharing. When he stands in front of everyone to "speak his truth," he is sugarcoating it and not coming out and saying the whole truth. He is not trying hard enough to tell the townspeople.
