Essay:

Question: Explain how Hawthorne uses symbolism in the novel. What symbols does he use and for what reasons does he use those symbols? Give three examples from the novel to help support your answer.

Answer:- The Rosebush – the rosebush is in front of the prison door and shows a pity for what is inside

the prison. It also symbolizes a new life and new beginning for the exiting prisoners. When Hester had left the prison the rosebush had been used a symbol to show Hester had been given a second chance

- The Letter “A” - the letter “A” has many meanings in the story. First the letter “A” meant a bad thing and a sin in the beginning of the novel. When people saw the symbol they would not interact kindly with the person wearing this symbol. As the story progresses the town’s people forget what the letter used to mean. They now see the letter as meaning adornment, a symbol of charity, and Pearl tells Hester that it means to be a great individual. Hester had greatly endured the letter.

- Daylight and Sunshine – before the daylight and sunshine Hester and Pearl had been walking in the forest to tell Dimmesdale the truth. Hester tells Dimmesdale the truth that Chillingworth

had been her Husband. After, the Daylight and Sunshine are noticed and shine greatly. It shows a symbol of truth and trust inbetween the characters. Also The daylight and sunshine symbolize happiness. When Dimmesdale returns to the town he is full of energy and is very happy.

Open-ended Questions- Alex

1. Give three examples of Hawthorne’s use of symbolism in the novel.  What symbols does he use and why?

a. The Scarlet Letter

The scarlet letter is meant to be a symbol of shame, but instead it becomes a powerful symbol of identity to Hester. The letter’s meaning shifts as time passes. Originally intended to mark Hester as an adulterer, the “A” eventually comes to stand for “Able.” Finally, it becomes indeterminate: the Native Americans who come to watch the Election Day pageant think it marks her as a person of importance and status. Like Pearl, the letter functions as a physical reminder of Hester’s affair with Dimmesdale. But, compared with a human child, the letter seems insignificant, and thus helps to point out the ultimate meaninglessness of the community’s system of judgment and punishment. The child has been sent from God, or at least from nature, but the letter is merely a human contrivance. Additionally, the instability of the letter’s apparent meaning calls into question society’s ability to use symbols for ideological reinforcement. More often than not, a symbol becomes a focal point for critical analysis and debate.

b. The Meteor

As Dimmesdale stands on the scaffold with Hester and Pearl in Chapter 12, a meteor traces out an “A” in the night sky. To Dimmesdale, the meteor implies that he should wear a mark of shame just as Hester does. The meteor is interpreted differently by the rest of the community, which thinks that it stands for “Angel” and marks Governor Winthrop’s entry into heaven. But “Angel” is an awkward reading of the symbol. The Puritans commonly looked to symbols to confirm divine sentiments. In this narrative, however, symbols are taken to mean what the beholder wants them to mean. The incident with the meteor obviously highlights and exemplifies two different uses of symbols: Puritan and literary.

c. Pearl

Although Pearl is a complex character, her primary function within the novel is as a symbol. Pearl is a sort of living version of her mother’s scarlet letter. She is the physical consequence of sexual sin and the indicator of a transgression. Yet, even as a reminder of Hester’s “sin,” Pearl is more than a mere punishment to her mother: she is also a blessing. She represents not only “sin” but also the vital spirit and passion that engendered that sin. Thus, Pearl’s existence gives her mother reason to live, bolstering her spirits when she is tempted to give up. It is only after Dimmesdale is revealed to be Pearl’s father that Pearl can become fully “human.” Until then, she functions in a symbolic capacity as the reminder of an unsolved mystery.

d. The Rosebush Next to the Prison Door

The narrator chooses to begin his story with the image of the rosebush beside the prison door. The rosebush symbolizes the ability of nature to endure and outlast man’s activities. Yet,

paradoxically, it also symbolizes the futility of symbolic interpretation: the narrator mentions various significances that the rosebush might have, never affirming or denying them, never privileging one over the others

2.     Does the character of Pearl seem to unrealistic for her age?  Give examples of why or not.

a. Yes. She has childlike ways that resemble her age. She skips, sings and acts the way a normal child should.

b. No. she understands things that are too difficult for a child her age to understand like why her mother is out casted in society and why people isolate her.

True and False

1. Hester Prynne lives in Massachuetts, but came from Scottland. False 2. Rev. Dimsdale is Pearl's father. True 3. Mistress Hibbins asked Hester to come to a witch meeting. True 4. Hester Prynne is the main character in "the Cardinal Letter". False 5. Dimsdale found a carved in "A" on Chilingworth's chest. False 6. Pearl makes her own letter A using eelgrass. True 7. Hester was buried near Dimsdale True 8. Hester gives gloves to Rev. Blackstone. False 9. Hester practices witchcraft with Mistress Hibbins False

10. Governor Winthrop dies on the night a letter "A" is seen in the sky. True

Open Ended I What are somethings Hester does to change her reputation? How do people see her now?

-Hester’s reputation becomes better after she begins to perform charity work within the community. This shows that despite her immorality she has a side that expresses her devotion to doing good works to please God. In addition, Hester’s reputation improves when she becomes known for her talent in the realm of embroidering and she embroiders for many prestigious people within the community. The only thing she never embroiders is wedding gowns because people still categorize her as an adulterer, and do not think she is worthy enough to handle a true symbol of faithfulness to your spouse such as marriage. People see her intentions, and they offer to take off the scarlet letter at one point, however she is forever tainted with the adultery which will isolate her from the rest of the puritans for the rest of her life.

Open Ended II

How is Pearl a symbol in the Scarlet letter and how does she symbolize to opposite things?

-Pearl, although she is a living person, serves as a major symbol of both a sin and a blessing. Although both of these concepts contradict each other, the character Pearl ties them both together. She represents Hester’s physical consequence of sexual sin, because having to bear a child serves as a reminder of Hester’s adultery. However, Pearl represents more than a sin to her mother, and actually represents a blessing. Pearl is the motivation for Hester to live, and she also serves as a good indicator of good and evil for her mother. In many instances Pearl makes keen observations that symbolize Hester’s adultery such as the fact that the sun does not shine on Hester because her image is figuratively dark. Her image is dark because it is tainted with her sin that she is unable to repent upon and cleanse away from her heart.

Provide examples that help support the idea that Pearl is wise beyond her years. What is Hester’s response to her daughter’s perceptiveness?Ch. 15, Pearl keeps herself occupied by dressing up as her mother and including the infamous letter.Pearl’s wisdom shown through the bond she displays with the scarlet letter itself.Pearl also shows her wisdom by inquiring about things beyond that of just a curious child.The questions Pearl asks imply thins, as she asks about Hester’s relationship with Dimmesdale and Hester’s letter itself.

2. Hawthorne makes extensive use of the physical setting. What is the function of this in the novel? How

does the physical setting influence the actions in the town? Ch. 16 is a great example of the use of the physical setting influencing the novel.The forest is a symbol of what occurs at this point in the story.The weather changes once Hester reveals the secret of Dimmesdale aloud.These changes also influence Hester’s physical appearance.Pearl’s departure from the scene also prompts change in the weather and tone of the story.The time of day is also important to what is happening. Making it seem like night has fallen in the forest symbolizes the change that occurs in people, as people break out into their “true selves” with the cover of nightfall.

Open ended questions- The crucible

Five paragraph essay: In Arthur Miller’s play, The Crucible, one of the main characters, Reverend Hale, storms out of the court proceedings in frustration. Identify the reasons why he left?

The court would not hear the evidence from giles corey and Francis Nurse.

The court was putting people of high moral standing in jail, i.e. John proctor, Rebecca nurse

Even though Hale had ruled out witchcraft with his examination, they refused to believe him and believe whatever the girls said.

For these reasons Reverend Hale was convinced that the court was completely mesmerized by the girls and believed the hearings to be unfair.

Open ended question: Early on in The Crucible, Abigail Williams is identified as the leader of the “bewitched” group of girls, list three reasons why you believe she became the leader?

Abby was among the oldest in the group.

She did the most witchcraft and she wanted no one to know. , i.e. drinking chicken blood and cursing goody proctor.

She had great manipulative skills so she would use them for her favor in the court proceedings.

The Old Man and The Sea Self-Made ReviewsCarlos Ronquillo, Kathy Gonzalez, Steph Aravena, Wicas

Five Paragraph Essay

1. How does Santiago represent Hemingway’s code hero?

-Courage, Honor. Santiago’s courage urged him to go to the Deep end where all the big fish were. Santiago may not have caught fish but still succeeded according to Hemingway’s code hero.

2. Why does Santiago respect his “Enemy” the fish?

-The fish and Santiago are two examples of survival of the fittest both must try to survive. Santiago respects the fish for its will to live. (Code Hero Points could be discussed)

3. Describe any religious symbols throughout the novel and how they portray into Hemingway’s life.

-Symbols such as Christian signs of Christ and stigmata are shown. When Santiago cuts his hands on the ropes and when Santiago has to walk up the hill and collapses in a position resembling Christ.

4. Explain one conflict though the story (man vs. man, man vs. nature, etc.) that fights Hemingway’s

Man vs. Nature shows a fight between man and their need to survive and the fish being their main source of protein. This fights Code Hero because the men in the village will not risk there lives in the deep end of the water for a large fish when they can get many smaller fish without the risk. This fights the push that Code Hero gives Santiago throughout the novel.

5. Themes through the novel consist of defeat and death, pride as a source of greatness and determination. How do these themes go into play in Hemingway’s history?

Hemingway’s war efforts and many confused relationships led him to have many of these themes become questions throughout his life. He saw defeat and death through the many war efforts he has been in. Pride as a source of greatness could come into play as when he came back from Vietnam which later was called a pointless war. Hemingway’s Determination to always be happy or to improve his lifestyle as in Hemingway’s Code Hero led him to greater virtues.

In the end of The Crucible by Arthur Miller, John Proctor confesses he was used by the Devil, but he refuses to do several things they ask of him. What does he refuse to do and why? Do you believe John made the right decision? Explain.

-He refuses to write his name down for proof because it would dishonor everyone who had been making false confessions to save themselves. He also believes his pride and honor are more important.-Proctor also refuses to sell out his friends because he’d be a liar and he says how could he teach his children to walk like men in the world and he sold his friends.

In The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway, Santiago represents a man’s man, a Hemingway hero. To what extent is this proven in the novel? Give specific details to support your answer.

-Use characteristics of Hemingway hero-Ex: Fighting off sharks, experiences pain, perseverance, has honor…etc.

Five Paragraph Essay Topics:

1. In The Old Man and the Sea, describe how Santiago fits 3 of Hemingway’s qualities of a hero. Use references from the novel.

-Man of Skill Able to read the sky + it’s creatures According to Santiago, a flying fish signals the arrival of dolphins In Santiago’s experience, the magnificent tug on the line can mean one thing: a marlin Kept his lines perfectly straight and this shows how precise he is.-Suffers/experiences pain His hands get cut because of the rope He said, “pain does not matter to a man” (pg 84) when he was fighting sharks. After battling on the sea for 3 days, he is described as stiff and sore and his wounds and all of the strained parts of his body hurts. pg. 117-Faces death without fear While fighting with the sharks he says, “I’ll fight them until I die” (pg 115) He keeps trying to catch the marlin. He doesn’t want to lose it, and will try to catch it even if it leads to his death. He says, “I’ll stay with you until I die” (pg 52)

2. Describe 3 symbolisms in the novella The Old Man and the Sea.

-The lions on the beach Lions in Santiago’s dreams represent his lost youth and his decreasing strength. For example, on his long voyage, he thought about lions and playing with them on the beach without any care. It made him stronger and gave him endurance to continue. Symbolizes Santiago’s pride. Santiago was proud of his fishing skills and was able to keep his lines straight and was better than the younger and richer generation.-Joe DiMaggio Santiago sees DiMaggio as an equal: one whose father was also a poor fisherman DiMaggio continued to play even though he had a bone spur. Santiago continues to fish despite the numerous injuries he gets.-Santiago symbolizes Christ Santiago gets cramps in his hand from holding the fishing line all night while he and the boat were being pulled by the marlin. Hemingway wrote that the sounds Santiago made while having the cramps were the same as the reaction someone would have while having a nail

passed through their hand and into wood. After Santiago’s voyage was completed, Santiago was weak. While bringing the mast he stumbled 5 times like Christ.

3. Describe biblical references in The Old Man and the Sea.

The name “Santiago” = the English translation is Saint James, who is also a fisherman. The straw hat cuts Santiago’s head, like Jesus’s crown of thorns. Pg46 Santiago’s right hand is cut by the line and bleeds. Pg 107 Santiago falls 5 times with the mast across his shoulders, like Christ. Pg121 Santiago sleeps “face down on newspapers with arms straight out, palms up.” pg122 Christ was crucified for three days, like Santiago’s struggle with the marlin (3 days) Christ was crucified at noon; Santiago catches the marlin at noon Hemingway depicts Manolin as a disciple. Pg126 Mention of faith Pg 10 Mention of Christ Pg 42 Marlin described as dark purple (religious color imagery) Pg 62 The fishing cord is held across Santiago’s shoulders, similar to the cross Christ carried. Pg 67

4. Describe how the relationship between John Proctor and Abigail Williams led to the accusations of witches in The Crucible. Describe what happened and the outcome.

Proctor has an affair with Abigail Elizabeth fires Abigail because of the affair. Abigail + other girls + Tituba perform a ritual to kill Elizabeth Girls pretend to be bewitched and accuse women of bewitching them Many people hanged/killed (Ex: Giles Corey pressed to death) Proctor dies, Elizabeth spared because she was believed to be pregnant

5. Describe how characters in the novel who were originally powerless become a big influence in Salem?

During this time period, men held all the power. But when the witch accusations occurred, young unmarried girls such as Abigail and Mary Warren have been given the power to determine life or death. They are believed to be able to see spirits. They use this to their advantage to influence the people of Salem to believing them. Tituba is also made more powerful. She is a black slave, but she can slander Reverend Paris with the excuse that it was a suggestion from the Devil.
