    Now this is a story all about how Hester’s life got flip turned upside down , and I’d like to take a minute just to sit right here, I’ll tell you how Hester became infamous in a town called Boston. So all and all through this story we were supposed to get out a few things, how Hester was an object, sinner, or something else, which I’ve forgotten because I didn’t think it was true, and how in the end she became a winner. For me, Hester started as a sinner, became an object used by the town, and in the end never became a winner, which I know goes against what I’m supposed to say, but saying she’s a winner just isn’t true.…

His effectiveness of communication is successful for the reader but not for the characters in the story.…

    This is Jack Merridew. It has been many years since we last saw each other, and so much has happened since then. I’m sure you’re a very different person now, as am I. I am not that same boy you knew, fifteen years can really change a person. Ten years ago, you sent me a letter blaming me for Simon and Piggy’s deaths, and everything else that happened on the island. I didn’t respond back then because I was in the Seminary and was trying to worship god and put all that happened on the island behind me. I’m writing you this letter now because I am about to become a priest and I feel that I need to clear things up as a last act before I start my new life. This way I can start out with a clean slate.…

    In every society there are flaws, and throughout time people have dreamed of creating a perfect society; however, when attempt to rid their society of flaw they, in turn, create other problems that are possibly worse than the flaws they are trying to eliminate.

The fraudulent society the puritans created, depicted by Hawthorne in The Scarlet Letter, as well as the horrible society that was created in Lord of the Flies by William Golding deliver insight into all of the problems that people experience when trying to self-govern themselves and the people around them. In both The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne and Lord of the Flies by William Golding, the authors suggest that ignoring the flaws in one’s own society will lead to a deterioration of morality.…
