A book which I had to read over the summer for class was The Scarlet Letter. Before I had read the book, I heard that it was about a women who had committed adultery and was an outcast from society. I had also heard it was very interesting from people who had read the book. I don't really know that much about the author except he mainly wrote short stories. I also heard that he was a descendent of of judge who was in The Salem Witch Trials. It has been rumored that he had changed his name to distant himself from this incident. He had supposable added the letter W to his last name. A question that can be thought about from the book is if it's okay to have a baby. I feel it can happen so easily it this era that if there will be a large group of people like this people may have to accept it. In my opinion I think it is best if people prevent this from happening. For one many religion are against this. I also think that it may affect the child growing up. Most children are used to growing up with a father and mother to be a role model. Now one parent has to fulfill both of those positions. The child who would be in this situation might feel neglected since his only parent would be working Finally why I am against it is cause it ca ruin one parents life. It puts a lot more pressure and can overwork the parent. Another thought I had about the book is what if I was a person who had to take care of a baby by myself. I think people judge these people to fast. Besides having to work so hard they have people yelling and shunning them. I don't exactly know how my friends would react if this would happen to me but I hope they would help me out I know that I would. Another effect this would have on me would be that it would be so hard to work and pay attention to my child but that would be a challenge that I would have to work hard on. The last thing that would be part of my responsibility would be to either get a wife or a
god-parent for my child. In the book there are many sins which have been committed. The worst out of all of them was the committing of adultery. This is an actual action that is occurring. The next one was Obsessively seeking revenge for wrongs committed against you. As the saying goes "Two wrongs don't make a right." Then to allow someone else to take the blame for your wrong doings. It's not fair to let some one else to get punished for your mistakes you can't be a coward. The last one is condemning among others the wrongs that you have committed. This sin is not physically bad, but you basically are a Hippocrates. The Scarlet Letter has an example of everything related to this matter. It is about a girl who had committed adultery and was punished for it but she tried her hardest to survive.
