Dimmsdale or Chillingworth?

          Hello, this week in our blogs i will be discussing which character is more worth sympathizing for, Dimmsdale or Chillingworth. As I have been reading along, I have had mixed views on both of these characters, but there character that i would sympathize the most for would be Chillingworth. Chillingworth has traveled a long distance to meet his wife he hasn't seen in a very long time, but he comes back to see his wife is being punished for adultery and has a child of her own. You can imagine how shocked Chillingworth would be after witnessing this all, and because of this would be affected more then Dimmsdale, as he doesn't care. Dimmsdale doesn't care for them, and for that he deserves no sympathy, an example of that is, "In a moment, however, wisely judging that one token of her shame would but poorly serve to hide another, she took the baby on her arm, and, with a burning blush, and yet a haughty smile, and a glance that would not be abashed, looked around at her townspeople and neighbours".

The Seven Deadly Sins

          Out of all the seven deadly sins, the one that i would have committed would be sloth. I have committed this sin because I procrastinate with my homework a lot and leave it to the last second, because I am to lazy to sit down and do it when I have nothing better to do. Also if i get told to do things around the house I won't do it right away, because of laziness taking over. If I were branded like the main character i would feel shameful as laziness is a very bad thing and not a good habit to keep. If I were to be branded with it i think it would help me stop being lazy, as I wouldn't want people to look at me and think I am lazy without really knowing me and getting a different perspective of me.

To my Dear and Loving Husband

          This week in class we have been discussing a couple of interesting poems. One that I enjoyed the most was "To my Dear and Loving Husband". This poem was written by Anne Bradstreet, during Puritan times. She was writing a letter to her husband, and i enjoyed this poem more then the other's because it goes against the traditional rules of puritan writing, such as using emotions. The purpose of this poem was to inform and explain to her husband, and it has a romantic tone, because it talks about her emotions toward her husband. The main subject of the letter was the love of her husband, all of this goes against the Puritan writing style but she did it anyways because of the pursuit of love and expressing herself.
