  1. Friday, October 5th Take a few moments to review your vocabulary words. Today is National Do Something Nice Day!

  2. TODAY • Vocabulary Quiz Unit 3 • The Best Pearl Examples • The Good v. Evil continuum • Chapters 9 – 13 due on Tuesday!

  3. Pearl • Mysterious, knowing, odd, beautiful, curious, weird, evil, cheery, imaginative • Has a dark side resulting from her mother’s sin • She is a two-faced demon-angel child • Maybe Hester’s feelings toward Pearl are not mutual (i.e. happiness, love) • She is mentally tough, as to imply people’s decries do not affect her • An outcast because she represents her mother’s sin • Two sides to her: duality • A split personality but these emotions allow her to read others and feel out the truth in secrecy • Can be very malicious and possibly evil, but covers it with a cute and sweet disposition • Jesus-figure • Multiple personalities—innocence and disgrace

  4. Some quotations • “The very first thing which she had noticed in her life was not the mother’s smile . . . But the scarlet letter on Hester’s bosom”—Pearl is unlike other children. She can be considered intuitive because of her connection with Hester as she is the embodiment of Hester’s sin. • “The child could not be made amenable to rules”—A law was broken in order for Pearl to be born; therefore, it reflects Pearl’s personality—she does not follow the rules.

  5. “It was a look so intelligent, yet inexplicable, so perverse, sometimes so malicious, but generally accompanied by a wild flow of spirits that Hester could not help question whether Pearl was a human child”—Pearl is young, but is intelligent to understand/feel the truth. The intelligence gives her spirit that sometimes is good, other times violent. –Opposing her bright, child-like happiness is an evil side that makes her mother question if the sin will ever leave. • “Pearl stole softly towards him and taking his hand in the grasp of both her own, laid her cheek against it”—In this scene, Pearl goes over to Rev. Dimmesdale as if she knows him. This is a sign of Pearl’s intelligence maybe thinking that he is her father.

  6. “She resembled in her own fiery pursuit of them an infant pestilence,--the scarlet fever, or some half-fledge angel of judgment”—Pearl resembles terrifying things being compared to the scarlet fever and an angel of punishment and judgement
