Prompts for "The Scarlet Letter" by Nathanial Hawthorne 1. Nathaniel Hawthorne was a descendant of Puritans himself (one of his ancestors was a judge during the Salem Witch Trials), but he has some criticisms for their values and way of thinking. Begin by giving a description (in your own words and from a variety of sources) of who the Purtians were, their goals in the "New Land", and an overview of their beliefs. Then discuss at least one criticism Hawthorne has for the Puritan way of life based on The Scarlet Letter using evidence from the text.

Hint: Think about their views on sin, religion, women, discipline, people in authority, etc. Include a link to your sources at the end.

2. What are the themes of The Scarlet Letter? What is the message? What do you think Hawthorne wants others to take away from the story?

Avoid cliches. This answer cannot and should not be pigeonholed to a cliche. This story is more than just “Sin, Knowledge, and the Human Condition” (Sparknotes). It has layers; layers of complexity. Try to peel away the layers and describe them. Use your own words and ideas to describe what you think Hawthorne's message is.

Read this sentence from paragraph 4 of the speech. we set up the war-whoop, and dug up the tomahawk; our knives were ready, and the heart of black hawk swelled high in his bosom when he led his warriors to battle. how does black hawk use rhetoric to advance his viewpoint in this excerpt? a-the image of the “war-whoop,” the “tomahawk,” and the “knives” evoke violence, showing that black hawk took pleasure in fighting with the white men. b-the image of how his heart “swelled high in his bosom” evokes a feeling of pride, showing that black hawk believes his actions toward the white men were justified. c-the phrase “dug up the tomahawk” is an allusion to the many indian nations, showing that black hawk felt a kinship to others who had a similar plight. d- the phrase “led his warriors to battle” is an allusion to past wars, showing that black hawk believes war is a universal fact of life.
