The Scarlet Letter Questions

The Custom House

1. What is the primary Purpose for the custom house introduction?

What i think the purpose for the custom house introduction was simply to let the reader know before actually starting to read the book how his life was in it and what type of person he was also what kind of people live within him. Also he probably wanted people to have a better understanding of what is going to happen throughout the book while really not giveback any clues about it.The introduction was a kind of through back because it was very complex and some what hard to understand well. it was very deep in other words.


2. What Significant change does Hawthorne admit to making in telling the story contained in the diary?
One of the significant change that Hawthorne goes through when he talks about his diary is that he only thinks and talk about himself and family. At the time being he only concentrates on tell people what he went through and takes their mind out of the actual story which i think was a great idea. also i think he does this to prepare the reader of what really is going to happen making the reader eve more interested. He makes the reader think and becomes to feel suspense.

3. What potential impact will this change have on the story?
The impact that this would have on the story would be much but it does make the story become more interesting because is like you know what your are getting to but not really. It helps bring the part of that something within the story will be discover and that it is probably bad. It takes you there but not really.

Anne Bradstreet

Anne Bradstreet is a great writer in the history of poetry. Anne Bradstreet was born Anne Dudley in north Amptom England 1612. As a women she didn't receive as much education. So therefore she didn't attend school, but her dad gave her tutors. Bradstreet as a women very much dislike the way the were treated and the cause being that they were women. In the eyes of other women should always be in the house cleaning, cooking, and being much of a housewife. This effected the women because they never had a chance to set a goal. Growing up was pretty hard for her but she found a men a very important man in her life that meant alot to her which name was Simon Bradstreet, this man would eventually become her husband . Simon played an important part in Anne's life and her writings. She always wrote poems about him and the true love that she always had for him. Probably they were very close and loved each other very much. She wrote to show the love they had when she wanted and felt it necessary.


Being said that Anne and her husband were very much in love and close to each other, not leaving behind that in fact she wrote poems about him for him.One of the poems that she wrote about him would be" To My Dear and Loving Husband". In this poem she writes to her husband saying in words and in between words how much she loves him. The diction in her poems show that the most, meaning the love that she is trying to portray in her writings. Words such as loved, happy, my love, thy love are all repeated at least one time throughout the poem. This shows a Strong relation towards her husband and that they really cared for each other and connect within themselves. She also repeats the words "if ever" in my opinion she is saying that if god gives her gives her life that life she will use it to love. Also that her love is not easy to forget and she hopes that he will not forget about the love they had for each other in the other life from this one. This come to conclusion that love is stronger than any other obstacle in the world, and that real love love could never be broken if it is real and eternal.

The next poem that was analyzed was the poem that Bradstreet wrote called" The Author To Her Book". This also one of her great accomplishment that she has done. All her poems have a strong meaning that you must read it over many times to be able to comprehended its texture and what's she trying to say throughout her writing. most of her writings are very complex. What i got out of this poem was that she was trying to say that when sometimes they are famous ,people tend to make up stories this people would be consider the press. but what they don't realize is that they are hurting someone . Not leaving behind that their the same as other people and that they are not perfect they have defects too, they are normal and would like to be treated as such. Some line that show what i am trying to argue would be "Press to trudge and i washed thy face but more defects i saw and rubbing off a spot still made flaw. If i didn't know better she probably did feel that way.

Picture Anlyasis of Cabeza De Vaca

The pictures I chose to do my analysis on were a picture where cabeza de vaca is on the top and a whole a lot of people are behind him. I pick this picture because it shows how the Indians took him in without no problem also because they got use to him and his crew fairly easy. Therefore De Vaca also was happy that he did get received and accepted the way he did. Cabeza De Vaca always talk very good of the Indians that help him through his journey while getting lost and was very thankful. Him and his crew got use to the Indians customs and religion which help them survive. The Indiana people were very kind and the little they had they didn't cared if they had to share it with a lot of people. They believe that if they help somebody, another person will be willing to help them in their stage of need. Another picture I place was a symbol for friendship . I pick this symbol for the reason that is the best way to describe the Indians or the way the Indians help DeVaca and his crew. The Indians trusted this people and gave them their friendship . Thanks to them they were able to survive, in the long and hard journey.

Picture that Represents My Stance/ Christphor Columbus

I pick two pitures that shows the stance I have acording to the writting of chrisphor columbus. the first picture shows how columbus started of very good and he did what ever he had to do to accomplish his goal. in the begining everything was going fairly well , he was working hard. the other pictuers is a picture of someone crying i pick this picture because it shows the time that christphor columbus was in his bad moment. This happen in his fourth voyage when he got kipnapped with his brother. What i wanted the pictures to show was that even though you may start good it doesn't mean everything is going to go that way. meaning that sometimes you work harder for other stuff than others. But even if this is happening you doen't give up , you stand back up and get back in the game.
