Journal entry #3 Mrs. Bort I’m not sure why the author brought in another minister when they already have one that will preach to them. Punishment by death is something that I personally do not agree with. Solitude or imprisonment for a length of time is sufficient enough punishment. I really dislike the idea that they almost took Hester Prynnes daughter away after she had already been punished for what she did. The new minister reminds me of a person I know because the minister likes to be in control over everything. The main character Hester Prynne reminds me of myself because she is very defensive and in some situations I can be very defensive too. Author Dimmsdale is like the new minister in religion because they both have some of the same views about how people should act and what there punishment should be. The setting is important because today our views are much different then the views of the mid-eighteen hundreds. This scene reminds me of a similar scene in the jail when the Doctor was talking to her. The part of the story where the Minister’s are deciding whether to take away Hester Prynne’s daughter is without a doubt realistic. I dislike the writing of the book because the words they use is like reading a book written by Shakespeare and I haven’t read any books by him yet so I do not understand all the content.
