Scarlet Letter Reflection

Scarlet Letter Reflection
In my Scarlet Letter essay, I explained how Hester turned out to be a wonderful person at the end of the book. The letter "A" went from standing for adultery to standing for able, and then it stood for angel. In English 3 Honors, I have learned a lot about writing. I have learned that it isn't good writing to say "you." We have learned that writing is very important. We have also learned that it is better not to talk in first person. I think the most helpful thing that we have learned in this class is that writing is very important because we will have to do a ton of writing in college.
When I was revising my essay, I had to go back and look to see if I had any gramatical mistakes, and then I tried to fix them. After reading Mrs. Turner's response to my essay, I realized that there was a few things that I messed up on, such as not explaining Hester very well. I also didn't have my quotes in the correct format.
I like how Hank starts out his scarlet letter essay by saying, "Public ridicule, constant persecution, imprisonment, outcast from society." This explains what Hester went through in The Scarlet Letter. I also like how Holt Harrell compared The Scarlet Letter to today's society. He said, "Not only did people single out Hester Prynne many years ago, they also single out people in today's modern society." This is very true because many people leave others out in today's society, especially in high school. I like how Drew Dodds used the quote, "Who is that Hester I shiver at him." This quote was said by Chillingworth talking about Dimmesdale because Chillingworth does not like Dimmesdale because of his affair with Hester. Out of these three people, I think that Hank's was the best because he did a very good job of connecting what he was saying back to the text.
