The Scarlet Letter Journal Entry #7

It's over. I finished the book and in the end it said that Rodger Chillingworth left most of his possessions for young Pearl who would have been around 15 when he died. The weird thing is that she was not blood related to him at all!

I think that Rodger did this because he felt that helping Pearl was like helping Hester. Through out the book Rodger is always helping Hester even though she cheated on him. When Hester and Mr. Dimmsdale decide to sail to Europe, somehow he finds out and decides to come with them because he can't bare to loose Hester.

The Scarlet Letter Journal Entry #6

The Governor has died. Hester was just at his house trying to ease him of his pain but now he has died. :(

I think that the governor died because of the plant that Rodger Chillingworth gave to him. I think this because Rodger just got the plant from an old grave. He even tells the governor that but the governor was too loopy to realize what was happening. I hate Rodger Chillingworth now!

The Scarlet Letter Journal Entry #5

Roger Chillingworth is operating on the governor and he's using a plant that he got from a grave in the cemetery. He has no idea what plant it is but yet he's willing to use it on the governor!

I think that he isn't really a doctor. I think this because even a doctor from old times knows to only use the plants that you know! Why would he go to the cemetery , Find a random plant and test it on the governor? That just seems stupid to me!

The Scarlet Letter Journal Entry #4

Pearl is now seven and she is starting to ask many questios about the scarlet letter and her mother, Hester isn't telling Pearl anything and Pearl doesn't like it.

I think that this puts Pearl in a very bad situation. She's at the age where she wants answers and now she's not getting them. I can totlly imagine what that would be like. I almost want her to go with the governer but at the same time I don't because that would be unfair to Hester. I don't know which side to choose!
