Hester Prynne August 3rd, 1641 Pearl becomes more brilliant both(prenominal) day. Often times I think about her name and how much it means to me. Pearl, as in bought with a great price my exactly treasure. With such a sin that I committed, I was given such a lovely child whom I adore with every ounce of my heart. I make sure that I dress Pearl in majestic and ornamented clothing. She radiates love and beauty wherever she is. Once of the first things Pearl really sight in this world, was the dreaded letter.Why must she be so intrigued by this symbol of pain that I must bear? Hester Prynne March 25th, 1642 Today Pearl and I took a trip to the Governors Hall. The mansion was furnished so fancy and ornately. Col orful tapestries hung on the walls as well as portraits and armor and mirrors. The governor questioned whether I was fitting of raising a child with all that I have done. I told him I would teach Pearl everything I have learned by have on the Scarlet Letter and that it would be sufficient. When Pearl told them that I plucked her off of a rose-bush, it did not help their consciousness.I pleaded my case over and over and finally Mr. Dimmesdale came to my rescue. I knew he would stick up for me considering the circumstances All that matters is Im back home tonight with Pearl. Hester Prynne June 7th, 1648 I cannot bear to stand what Roger is doing to Dimmesdale. He is mentally and emotionally destroying the man. Oh the guilt, and grief that must plague him. I have escaped this easily. I have been forward about the sin on my part. Whereas he must pretend secret code has ever happened and let it eat away at his consciousness. Oh the poor man. I wish I could do something to help Hester PrynneJuly 18th, 1648 Dimmesdale is looking worse and worse. I ran into him in the woods today by the brook. Weve concluded that we should run away. We could start a new life back in London and wash away all remnants of this life. We could change our names, and I could dispose of this letter. I will start to make plans. I really hope Pearl warms up to him. The girl knows nothing simply her mother and the letter. She was mighty apprehensive when I took the letter off today. Its such a shame she finds comfort in that, for it felt like a capacious weight was lifted off my shoulder. She will warm up to him and me, I know it. Hester Prynne
