Nathaniel hawthorne’s interest in salem and the salem witch trials is based on his

ancestral ties with the judge of the trial.

Nathaniel Hawthorne is the author of The Scarlett Letter. This book deals with the Puritanism that dominated New England in the 17th century. The story takes place in Salem, a city made famous because of its legacy of witch trials.

Hawthorne was interested in Salem and the Salem witch trials because of his ties to the place. Born in Salem, his great-great-grandfather, William Hathorne, was involved in the trial of Anne Coleman and four others. Moreover, his great-grandfather, John Hathorne, was the magistrate presiding over the Salem witch trials of 1692-93.

1. this would be first person. it would be like "i walked home from school today" they are the narrator of the story and is a character as well.

2. first person because they used the word "i" in the quote.

3. i'm really not sure about this one i'm really sorry i never read it so i wouldn't know how to answer it. 

4. it would be character vs. society because everyone he meets there is always a conflict of some sort because he's stuck in his daydream.

5. it would be sadness at the loss of youth because the title itself tells us it's about age so it couldn't be about regret. and the tone just sounds sad, not angry. 

i hope this !
