(2) Guilt-  Dimmesdale feels guilty for letting Hester deal with all the consequences.
(3) Revenge- Chillingsworth is trying to get revenge on Dimmesdale by poisoning him.

The major lesson that I got from this novel is the sins that you commit will have serious consequences in the end and can sometimes ruin your life. ]]> 2017-11-06 15:25:07 UTC https://padlet.com/christina_zacharias/EngIII_Per3_TSL_Overview/wish/203929912 nicholas_fernandez https://padlet.com/christina_zacharias/EngIII_Per3_TSL_Overview/wish/203930270 1.Forgiveness- At the end of the book Hester forgives herself and takes the scarlet letter A off of her chest.
2. Guilt - Wearing the letter A on her chest, symbolized the guilt Hester had towards committing adultery.
3.  Sin- Hester committed a crime of adultery with dimmesdale and she had to wear a scarlet Letter "A".
------------------------------------------------------

I Learned from this story is that any one act or sin should not be able to define a person by what they do. If some commits a sin such as adultery you cannot jump to conclusions and say they are not a good person.  ]]> 2017-11-06 15:25:43 UTC https://padlet.com/christina_zacharias/EngIII_Per3_TSL_Overview/wish/203930270 garett_schindeler https://padlet.com/christina_zacharias/EngIII_Per3_TSL_Overview/wish/203931361 1.  one major theme of the book is revenge. An example of revenge would be Chillingworth trying to get revenge on Dimmesdale 
2. A second major theme of the book is love. There is a lot of love in the book the love between pearl and Hester and Hester and Dimmesdale 
3. a third theme of the book is sin. there is plenty of sin throughout the book there are many witches and somebody got in trouble for Audultiry  
major lesson i learned from the book was to never give up

Guilt- Be not silent from any mistaken pity and tenderness for him; for, believe me, Hester, though he were to step down from a high place, and stand there beside thee, on thy pedestal of shame, yet better were it so, than to hide a guilty heart through life." 
2. Love- It is a love story because Hester did not reveal the name of her loves when she was torturously interrogated to pinpoint her lover's name
3. Sin- Sin is a part of everyday life. Nathaniel Hawthorne's novel, The Scarlet Letter, revolves around the theme of sin and the effects it has on the mind, body, and soul. ]]> 2017-11-06 15:27:41 UTC https://padlet.com/christina_zacharias/EngIII_Per3_TSL_Overview/wish/203931603 carly_weinsier https://padlet.com/christina_zacharias/EngIII_Per3_TSL_Overview/wish/203931651 (1) sin: The Scarlet "A" is a symbol of sin and she has to wear it everyday.
(2) Love: The love triangle between Dimmesdale, Hester, and Chilingworth. Kept the family together through all of the drama.
(3) Guilt: Dimmesdale hides his secret of being Hester's lover and it ends up killing him.

Major Lesson: Don't be ashamed of your mistakes because they will end up dying of guilt. Instead of being ashamed you should learn from your mistakes.]]> 2017-11-06 15:27:46 UTC https://padlet.com/christina_zacharias/EngIII_Per3_TSL_Overview/wish/203931651 heather_goldberg https://padlet.com/christina_zacharias/EngIII_Per3_TSL_Overview/wish/203931802 1. sin- Hester gets punished for committing adultery.

2. revenge- chillingworth wants revenge from dimmesdale. 

3. identity- throughout the book the townspeople give this identity to hester as a whore. In reality she was just a women in love. 

A lesson we learn from this is to not shame a person for one wrong doing. 

In today society it still seems that people will shame you for one wrong action you do and keep that bad opinion on you.]]> 2017-11-06 15:27:56 UTC https://padlet.com/christina_zacharias/EngIII_Per3_TSL_Overview/wish/203931802 michael_capuno https://padlet.com/christina_zacharias/EngIII_Per3_TSL_Overview/wish/203932454 1. Family- Hester and Pearl live together as a family in the novel.
2. Love- Pearl is the result of Hester's love.

2. Revenge - Chillingworth trying to get revenge on Dimmesdale in which he slowly poisoned him.

Everyone makes mistakes. ]]> 2017-11-06 15:29:10 UTC https://padlet.com/christina_zacharias/EngIII_Per3_TSL_Overview/wish/203932696 romya_phillips https://padlet.com/christina_zacharias/EngIII_Per3_TSL_Overview/wish/203932767 1.

2. Revenge- Chillingworth was seeking revenge on Hester's other lover.
3. Guilt- Dimmesdale has to hide his secret of being Hester's lover and it is slowly killing him.

The major point I took away from the novel was to not be ashamed of a mistake that turns out to be a blessing and also that being mysterious is unique. ]]> 2017-11-06 15:29:37 UTC https://padlet.com/christina_zacharias/EngIII_Per3_TSL_Overview/wish/203933010 noah_torres1 https://padlet.com/christina_zacharias/EngIII_Per3_TSL_Overview/wish/203933718 Revenge - chillingworth tries to get revenge on dimmesdale.

Sin - Hester commits adultery which is a sin.

Guilt - Dimmesdale feels guilty for his sins.]]> 2017-11-06 15:30:31 UTC https://padlet.com/christina_zacharias/EngIII_Per3_TSL_Overview/wish/203933718 cecily_bowe https://padlet.com/christina_zacharias/EngIII_Per3_TSL_Overview/wish/203933736 Guilt- The minister feels extreme guilt for the sin, he and Hester have committed. Through out the novel the guilt deteriorates him.

Sin- Adultery is the sin that Hester is being prosecuted for. Her entire life changes due to it

Love- Hester and Dimmesdale having Pearl was an act of love which is why Hester never repents.

The major lesson is that we should be less judgmental as a society. Some sins aren't meant to be punished by society. For example, the way we shame others for certain actions that are completely none of our business.
