His grandfather used to be a judge for witches in salem back in the day and he detested that about him.

Many puritans wanted more purification so they broke away from the church. Some came to america in 1620. Then the great migration of puritans began in 1630. The puritans are a VERY hardcore religious group. They lived an agricultural lifestyle in new england with mostly every family farming. ]]> 2018-09-11 12:50:42 UTC https://padlet.com/db02126/2p2l07sllzhl/wish/279822183 db02126 https://padlet.com/db02126/2p2l07sllzhl/wish/279856942 Family: Surprisingly the puritans lived longer then most, most grew to be grandparents which was uncommon of the time.
Lifestyle: Agricultural farm life. 
Male/female roles: Females were not aloud to vote and mostly stayed at home. Men voted and did the labour work outside of them home. 
Punishment: If someone did not follow the church they were shamed. That was the biggest thing to the puritans you can not disrespect the lord.  ]]> 2018-09-11 13:48:51 UTC https://padlet.com/db02126/2p2l07sllzhl/wish/279856942 db02126 https://padlet.com/db02126/2p2l07sllzhl/wish/280791070 This is the main theme with in the scarlet letter. This is highlighted throughout the book in accordance with the huge A on her clothes. In the puritan lifestyle adultery is a high sin so she gets shamed throughout the book for it. ]]> 2018-09-13 12:47:14 UTC https://padlet.com/db02126/2p2l07sllzhl/wish/280791070 db02126 https://padlet.com/db02126/2p2l07sllzhl/wish/280794302 In this story there is conformity everywhere. This puritan community literally is built off conformity to the bible. The people out her because she was an adultress and did not conform with the rest. ]]> 2018-09-13 12:53:08 UTC https://padlet.com/db02126/2p2l07sllzhl/wish/280794302 db02126 https://padlet.com/db02126/2p2l07sllzhl/wish/280797080 Hester has a daughter named pearl who is the product of adultery. She is a symbol to the community of adultery and for that she gets outcast by everyone in the community. ]]> 2018-09-13 12:57:40 UTC https://padlet.com/db02126/2p2l07sllzhl/wish/280797080 db02126 https://padlet.com/db02126/2p2l07sllzhl/wish/280797271 The A on hester's clothing symbolizes adultery in its entirety. The A gets branded on all of her clothing as a symbol to the community that she is diffrent and did not conform like everyone else. This is probably the strongest peice of symbolism in the entire book because it plays such a defining role. It really shows to the readers how judgy and rude the community is, along with how they cast the daughter and hester out for her mother's sin. ]]> 2018-09-13 12:57:57 UTC https://padlet.com/db02126/2p2l07sllzhl/wish/280797271
