While parents heavily influence their children, that doesn't mean that the child will ultimately turn out like their parent. Children have their own minds and opinions that will often think differently than their parents.

Yet another one I truly agree with! Redemption is always possible. You can always become the better person and if you lose at something, there is always another chance to get back for it. Whether it is a soccer match or you as a person, you can always redeem yourself next time.

I do believe in this one. I agree, in order to be truly happy you need to come to terms with your past and who you really are. If you keep lying to yourself and holding it in, it will bite you in the back later on. So, the sooner you accept yourself and your past, the closer you are to happiness.

I have to disagree on that as well. I do not think a spiritual leader is above human failing. If he is human then he will sin no matter how hard he tried not to. That's the way of humanity.

I don't agree with the belief that ultimately children turn out like their parents. I have seen such great parents with the most evilest children. On a court show a boy had murdered his girlfriend's son and you can see that his mom is weeping and has such a kind heart. There is also vice versa. Some kids are way better than their parents. I do have to say that the way the child's raised depends ultimately on his outcome and personality when he gets older.

I don't think this is necessarily true. I have seen murderers on TV who cry and plead guilty, and you can tell it's sincere, but after a moment they will look very evil. Other people will look very mean and have angry looking eyes, but once you talk to them and get to know them, they are very good. I for one, look pretty mean but I am really not. People tell me all the time that I am nicer than I look, so you can't really know a persons soul through their eyes.

I deeply believe adultery is one of the worst sins you can commit, but I think God/Allah is forgiving of everything as long as you repent from your heart and don't do it again.<br>

Redemption is always possible with God's forgivness and grace, no matter how bad someone has messed up, as long as they are truly sorry and ask God for forgivness, redemption will be available to them.

# data[].attributes.body
I do believe that true happiness comes from being true to yourself, provided that being true to yourself is in line with what God has planned for your life and what He knows is best for you.

Spiritual leaders are absolutely not above human failing as we are all human. Futhermore, I believe that the best spiritual leaders are the ones who are aware of their human failings and are working (with God's help) to overcome them.

I do not think that children ultimately turn out to be like their parents, although they can if the parents influence them enough. Similarly, any person who has a profound impact (positive or negative) on a child will be the person that the child will turn out to resemble, whether the person is a parent, sibling, or close friend.

People can find out a lot about a person through their eyes and maybe even hints as to what is really in someone's soul, but I wouldn't say that the eyes are the only way to see into a person's soul or that a person can completely comprehend a person by looking into their eyes.

Adultery is a very bad thing but it is not unforgivable as long as you sincerely confess your sin to God.

Redemption is always a possibility. If you do right, and change your ways, and convince people that you deserve their forgiveness, I believe it is. If you put the work in, redemption is ALWAYS possible.

Yes, this is the most truthful belief yet. Being happy is just an emotion, and emotions vary from day to day. But to have a truly happy life, you need to be happy with yourself. Someone might be having a crappy day, but if they step back and look at their life, they might see they actually have A LOT going for them, and it all starts internally.

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree with this, only because I have seen spiritual leaders make many human-like mistakes. Some of the mistakes they make, aren't even near human-like, they are even worse.

As much as I would like do disagree with this, I think it's true. I live with my grandmother, and I have watched, over the past 5 years, my mother turn nearly into the same person my grandmother is. Although, out paths might not be the same as our parents, our habits and ways of dealing with things, will be.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with this completely. You can always tell the person's intentions and personality in there eyes. One look at someone has always been what I need to know whether or not they are a good person.

# data[].attributes.body
I think adultery is a bad thing, but I don't believe it is unforgivable. It's not like there was anything permanently taken away from you. So I don't see why they think it is unforgivable.

Redemption and forgiveness is always possible through God, though some people may never forgive you.

Yes, true happiness requires being true to oneself because happiness comes from within.

Yes, I think that redemption is always possible to one degree or another. It's something that is definitely possible, but it also depends on who a person is trying to gain redemption from. Someone could be super loving and have open arms every time a person messes up and comes back asking to make things right or to have a second chance. Another person, however, may refuse to give redemption after, say, the third time a person messes up. It just really depends on the situation and the people involved. But redemption is definitely a possibility.

I'm not sure I agree with this. I believe that true happiness comes from God. Being true to yourself is just a very small part of the issue of being happy.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think that this is true. I think that every human being, whether they're a spiritual leader or not, will fail sometime in their lives. No one is perfect in this world. It's impossible to not fail. I think that thinking that a person's spiritual leader will not fail and mess up is a bad mind set because it will hurt a lot when you realize that that person isn't as perfect as you thought. It's something that's inevitable.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that this is absolutely not true. Many children, as they grow older, strive to act differently than the way that their parents acted. It's hard for people to live differently after being around bad (or good) influences that are radiated off their parents, but I don't think that the kids can't change. It's just a bit harder for one to change bad habits and different ways of living. If a child really wants to have a different life then what their parents had, then they will most likely try as hard as they can to do things differently, which will probably end up with them not ending up as their parents. It just depends on the person.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that this isn't completely right. Many people who are actors portray their character's feelings through their eyes. Many people can also mask their feelings well enough so that you cannot look into their eyes and see their feelings. I do think, though, that there is a bit of hidden truth. If you know a person well enough, then you might just be able to see a certain look in their eyes and know when something is going on.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that adultery is very wrong, but I also feel that we need to have a forgiving spirit towards people who commit adultery. It's like treating others the way you would want to be treated. Plus, showing them love and forgiveness can make a big (and hopefully good) impact on their lives.

Based on what you see in the clip, predict what themes you expect to possibly see in the novel. Obviously, you already know a bit about Hawthorne and the Puritans so that should help inform your prediction.

Part I: Below is a list of morals /beliefs /values , many of a religious nature that are explored in the novel. Your job will be to decide how you feel about each issue, and explain your position. When we are done reading the novel, we will revisit this padlet and see if our opinions and ideas have altered or remained the same. We will also decide where Nathaniel Hawthorne stood on these issues (based upon the novel). You should write your opinion about each belief on the padlet itself.
