1). “‘I know not Lethe nor Nepenthe,’ remarked he; ‘but I have learned many new secrets in the wilderness, and here is one of them—a recipe that an Indian taught me, in The Scarlet Letter 110 of 394 requital of some lessons of my own, that were as old as Paracelsus. Drink it! It may be less soothing than a sinless conscience. That I cannot give thee. But it will calm the swell and heaving of thy passion, like oil thrown on the waves of a tempestuous sea.’"

The ‘doctor’ who is actually her husband from Europe, is telling her how his medicine can cure all, and make her feel better. However, it will not give her the sinless conscious she looks for. Ultimately, referring that she knows, and admits to her sins. ]]> 2018-10-12 14:58:59 UTC https://padlet.com/brittani_adkins34/k71fcqgdqdon/wish/292204720 Bianca Wilson https://padlet.com/brittani_adkins34/k71fcqgdqdon/wish/292237788 Yeah I messed up;
Theme: Sin
2). "God will save us,
Will we burn
Inside the fires of a thousand suns
For the sins of hand
The sins of our tongue
The sins of our father”

This song relates to the theme, because it talks about how their sins will cause them to burn, as they speak of in the story as well.

 | Elmer Gantry; Novel by Sinclair Lewis | In the novel, Elmer Gantry, it focuses on a theme of hypocrisy. But also, in The Scarlet Letter it shows a hint of hypocrisy, which I believe can lead to a crisis of identity. For example, Hester plays it off to be a tough person but has a hint of hypocrisy when she pretends not to be weak. A short summary of the novel, Elmer Gantry, would include the following: “Elmer Gantry does not look back to the hypocrisy of an earlier period, but instead takes aim at the hypocrisy of the author's own time. This book is Lewis' satiric look at the fundamentalist religious movements led by tent revival preachers in the 1910s and 1920s. The title character is a hard-drinking, womanizing former college athlete who becomes a successful preacher. He rails against ambition while constantly striving for greater success and destroying many rivals in the process. The book's criticism of religion made it scandalous when it was first published, as many preachers denounced it in their sermons, and it was banned in Boston.” In this novel, the main character preaches about being all proper and religious when in reality he used to do everything he’s telling others not to.

 | The Crucible  |     

 The Scarlet Letter- Hester Prynne cheats on her husband, Roger Chillingworth, and Hester has Pearl as a result of their actions. Roger tries to get revenge on Dimmesdale.          

 The Crucible- John Proctor has an affair with Abigail Williams and his wife, Elizabeth, finds out and fires Abigail as their maid. Abigail wants revenge on Elizabeth so she accuses her of being a witch while hoping she wins John for herself.  ]]> 2018-10-15 12:34:24 UTC https://padlet.com/brittani_adkins34/k71fcqgdqdon/wish/292768877 Coby Grant https://padlet.com/brittani_adkins34/k71fcqgdqdon/wish/292774496  I chose the movie Saw because you’re put into these games/traps when you pretty much sin sometime during your lifetime. Then you also have the other people in the games with you and you’re going to be judging them because they’ve done something bad to get here just like you. The similarity in my opinion is that in “Saw” the Jigsaw mastermind takes carves a shaped like puzzle out of your skin and in the Scarlet Letter they put an “A” on her chest to let the people know she did adultery which is very sinful. So I believe that the puzzle and the “A” symbolize what you have done to get to the point you are in. ]]> 2018-10-15 12:45:37 UTC https://padlet.com/brittani_adkins34/k71fcqgdqdon/wish/292774496 Sara Ellis Quote From Text https://padlet.com/brittani_adkins34/k71fcqgdqdon/wish/292776099   | “  Here, she said to herself, had been the scene of her guilt, and here should be the scene of her earthly punishment; and so, perchance, the torture of her daily shame would at length purge her soul, and work out another purity than that which she had lost; more saint-like, because the result of martyrdom,” | 

By wearing the symbol of an A Hester will be looked at by that current mark. She will not be looked at by the person she truly is but by what action she did to get that Scarlet Letter. She will now be living in a community of constant judgement and the letter would follow her every day. People now believe that she has no morals. Hester feels embarrassed and shameful which is what people want to make her feel like just because she made a mistake. Hester needs to move away from the town so that way she will not endure herself where she cannot truly feel and be herself.]]> 2018-10-15 12:48:26 UTC https://padlet.com/brittani_adkins34/k71fcqgdqdon/wish/292776099 https://padlet.com/brittani_adkins34/k71fcqgdqdon/wish/292776407 2018-10-15 12:48:55 UTC https://padlet.com/brittani_adkins34/k71fcqgdqdon/wish/292776407 Elijah Toler https://padlet.com/brittani_adkins34/k71fcqgdqdon/wish/292776412   | Hancock everyone thought he was a bad person until he used his powers for good. | This is a good comparison of how people thought someone was bad but really it’s the situation they were put into. Hancock was put into a good situation and people assumed him as evil.  But when he saved people life in the first movie in the bank robbery the thoughts changed. This is how Hester Prynne was perceived as bad when people first saw her. But it was the situation but not the real person she is. ]]> 2018-10-15 12:48:56 UTC https://padlet.com/brittani_adkins34/k71fcqgdqdon/wish/292776412 https://padlet.com/brittani_adkins34/k71fcqgdqdon/wish/292776581 2018-10-15 12:49:08 UTC https://padlet.com/brittani_adkins34/k71fcqgdqdon/wish/292776581 Tatyana Reynolds https://padlet.com/brittani_adkins34/k71fcqgdqdon/wish/292776699   | “’What think ye, gossips? If the hussy stood up for judgment before us five, that are now here in a knot together, would she come off with such a sentence as the worshipful magistrates have awarded? Marry, I trow not’” “‘This woman has brought shame upon us all, and ought to die; Is there not law for it?”

 In chapter 2 of the Scarlet Letter, Christian women stand outside of the prison, awaiting the revealing of Hester. They wish that she be killed as a greater punishment for “shaming” them all. A very important value that Christians practice is not judging people for their actions, but loving them all the same. These “Christian” women judge Hester for her crimes, even though that is not what Christians believe in. ]]> 2018-10-15 12:49:17 UTC https://padlet.com/brittani_adkins34/k71fcqgdqdon/wish/292776699 trey_trey0824 https://padlet.com/brittani_adkins34/k71fcqgdqdon/wish/292777572  I feel like in GTA 5 they put out all African Americans from a poor neighborhood are put out to be gang members.

“If the World Were Blind” by Karen Burnett 
 
This is a children’s book about a grandpa and his grandson trying to figure out what the world would be like if people did not judge others based off of how they look or what they do. This is a very important book that I think all kids should read so maybe when they grow up they wouldn’t judge others. In The Scarlet Letter, Hester is judged because she had a child with another man when she had a husband. But that doesn’t make her a bad person. This is why kids should be taught to not judge a book by its cover.

In 1965, an Alabama city became the battleground in the fight for suffrage. Blacks were being judged by the color of their skin and I feel like this kind of relates to the scarlet letter.]]> 2018-10-15 12:56:45 UTC https://padlet.com/brittani_adkins34/k71fcqgdqdon/wish/292781673 Alyssa Dunlap https://padlet.com/brittani_adkins34/k71fcqgdqdon/wish/292784735 I chose the movie The Green Mile for my theme of judgement. The Green Mile takes place in a penitentiary in Louisiana. Inside the penitentiary people are shocked in and electric chair as a punishment for their wrong doings. This movie relates to the Scarlet Letter because in both cases someone is being judged by and punished for their actions. ]]> 2018-10-15 13:02:20 UTC https://padlet.com/brittani_adkins34/k71fcqgdqdon/wish/292784735 Chloe Griffith https://padlet.com/brittani_adkins34/k71fcqgdqdon/wish/292784744 In this movie, that is based on a true story. It is about Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs. They were famous tennis players and Billie Jean and other female tennis players fought for equal pay, women in the tennis industry were looked at as a joke and not equal to men. Bobby Riggs and Billlie Jean King were the best players in tennis. Billie was the Grand Champion for womens and Bobby Riggs won Grand Champion for men. Billie Jean King wanted to prove to people that she and the whole womens divison was more than just women playing tennis. Just like how Hester is doing by proving to people she was more than a scarlet letter. Bobby Riggs challenged Billie King to a tennis match to see which one could win and SPOILER ALERT: Billlie won and proved that women and men deserve equal pay because they are just as good tennis players as men were.

Romeo and Juliet demonstrates the theme of judgment. In the story the families to not get along. They judge each other’s actions, which ultimately results in the death of Romeo and Juliet because they did not want their families to learn about their love for each other. This relates to the theme of judgment in The Scarlet Letter because Hester’s actions are being judged by other people in the town just like Romeo and Juliet were judged by their families’. ]]> 2018-10-15 13:03:04 UTC https://padlet.com/brittani_adkins34/k71fcqgdqdon/wish/292785130 Matthew Humphrey https://padlet.com/brittani_adkins34/k71fcqgdqdon/wish/292795254 For text-to-text, I chose the movie Mulan because both movie and book play with the idea of hiding your true identity and using that to beat your opposition. Mulan hides her identity behind a male garb and not only plays with her  enemy's head with thinking shes a guy named Ping but even her closest friend and love interest. Hester 
Prynne doesn't hide her identity but her lover's instead, though parallels are still there. They both hide what they did for the sake of others rather than themselves, They both lived in constant fear of consequences for their lies, and they did what they did in a kind of indirect rebellion against their cultures.]]> 2018-10-15 13:19:54 UTC https://padlet.com/brittani_adkins34/k71fcqgdqdon/wish/292795254 kelsi Akers https://padlet.com/brittani_adkins34/k71fcqgdqdon/wish/292914181 hidden figures 
| This movie is about a woman that steps up in a workplace full of men and does her job better than them but no one cares because she’s a women and that’s not her place. I think this movie ties into the scarlet letter by showing that women and men can do the same thing but have different consensuses. I don’t just see this theme in this movie or the scarlet letter but also in real life as well.  ]]> 2018-10-15 16:18:00 UTC https://padlet.com/brittani_adkins34/k71fcqgdqdon/wish/292914181 Bethany Kinder https://padlet.com/brittani_adkins34/k71fcqgdqdon/wish/292931470 Theme of feminism 
This song reminds me of feminism and could be an example for "The Scarlet Letter". Because Hester is very strong-willed, and she refuses to let anyone tell her how to think or feel. ]]> 2018-10-15 16:43:50 UTC https://padlet.com/brittani_adkins34/k71fcqgdqdon/wish/292931470 Geoffrey Kuhn https://padlet.com/brittani_adkins34/k71fcqgdqdon/wish/293301375

 | Article: http://www.thebusinessofgood.org/articles/article-from-self-judgement-to-being-ourselves/ 

This article mostly talks about today's issues with self-judgement. They are positive and negative judgement, and it also says that society has a certain way for us to look and most of can’t look that way. It is also saying ways to try to get yourself out of deep thoughts, that bring your self esteem down. Try to relax and except yourself, you slowly become more happy with yourself. In Scarlet Letter it says, “She could no longer borrow from the future to help her through the present grief.” This is talking about Hester and it is saying that she’s ashamed, and she can’t say tomorrow is going to be better, because of society's ways.]]> 2018-10-17 22:16:41 UTC https://padlet.com/brittani_adkins34/k71fcqgdqdon/wish/294120360 Chloe Graley https://padlet.com/brittani_adkins34/k71fcqgdqdon/wish/294414414  | Book/comic book/video game/movie/other | Your analysis

| In the movie how the Grinch Stole Christmas when the Grinch was a young Grinch he did something bad and went on a rampage and broke things and hurt people. In the story the Scarlet letter Hester Prynne did a bad thing and was sent to jail like the Grinch was Sent to Mount Crumpit. The Grinch when he came out had to face the Judgment of something he did to get him put away on the mountain like when the Mayor gives him the Razor, that’s what set him off to do those bad things. When Hester comes out of the prison she had to face people wearing the letter “A” on her chest to symbolize her bad doings.]]> 2018-10-18 15:25:59 UTC https://padlet.com/brittani_adkins34/k71fcqgdqdon/wish/294414414 Kaylee Ferrell https://padlet.com/brittani_adkins34/k71fcqgdqdon/wish/294440402  Quote from the text:
“The grim beadle now made a gesture with his staff. ‘Make way, good people—make way, in the King’s name!’ cried he. ‘Open a passage; and I promise ye, Mistress Prynne shall be set where man, woman, and child may have a fair sight of her brave apparel from this time till an hour past meridian. A blessing on the righteous colony of the Massachusetts, where iniquity is dragged out into the sunshine! Come along, Madame Hester, and show your scarlet letter in the market-place!’”
Analysis:
In this portion of the text, Hester is being taken to the town square to serve her sentence. She must stand on a platform and be looked upon by all of the townspeople. The idea of this sort of punishment is for her to be publicly embarrassed and for others to look upon her, therefore allowing them to make their own judgements about her.  This section of text is an example of the judgement that we see throughout the entire story.]]> 2018-10-18 16:03:41 UTC https://padlet.com/brittani_adkins34/k71fcqgdqdon/wish/294440402 Austin Williams https://padlet.com/brittani_adkins34/k71fcqgdqdon/wish/294444041 Book: Diary of a Wimpy Kid
Analysis:  
In the book/ movie “Diary of a Wimpy Kid”, Greg is constantly being judged. It was his first year in middle school and he is a small, frail, person. He makes the mistake of breaking Rowley’s arm by accident and is judged for that. He is called a jerk and almost loses Rowley as his best friend because of it. This relates to the Scarlett Letter because Hester is judged for a mistake she made and people don’t really want to talk to her because of it. Both, Greg and Hester, weren’t necessarily bad people but they made a choice that caused unfortunate consequences.  

“Choices can lead to unfortunate circumstances”

In the movie Legally Blonde, Elle Woods is trying to become a Law Student to prove to everyone that she is smart enough to go to college. However, many other students judge her by the clothes she wears and how “dingy” she is. Elle doesn’t let those people get in the way, she strives through and becomes known for her hard work. This movie compares to The Scarlet Letter, because Elle doesn’t care what others think about her, which is much like Hester Prynne when she comes out of jail for the first time. Hester looks forward instead of taking in all the people that are sitting and gossiping about her. ]]> 2018-10-18 16:09:53 UTC https://padlet.com/brittani_adkins34/k71fcqgdqdon/wish/294444368 Blaine Hall https://padlet.com/brittani_adkins34/k71fcqgdqdon/wish/294445546  movie

In Grand Theft Auto, many people put on an identity in their character different from their real-life selves. An example from the game is mass robbery and 🤬 may happen in the game by the developed character, however, not in real-life by the controlling human. This is connected to The Scarlet Letter through Hester putting herself out as a confident, strong, and brave woman while on the inside, she was scared and frightened. ]]> 2018-10-18 16:23:15 UTC https://padlet.com/brittani_adkins34/k71fcqgdqdon/wish/294453112 https://padlet.com/brittani_adkins34/k71fcqgdqdon/wish/415100748  Ds]]> 2019-11-22 05:12:45 UTC https://padlet.com/brittani_adkins34/k71fcqgdqdon/wish/415100748
