The Scarlet Letter

     The Scarlet Letter is about  an adulterous situation. Nathaniel Hawthorn's concerns between the public and the private person.  Public disgrace, Hester Prynne has to gain her inner strength. She has to figure out that she is a stronger woman than that of the community.
     Arthur Dimmesdale, trapped by the rules of society has to decide to stand out. He has to break through the crowd and the community.
     Hester is an outcast to the community. She is considered dirty and unwanted. She is forced to live her life with shame and the desire to die every day. Through it all, Arthur Dimmesdale breaks through and shows her life is meant more than that. They work together to over come the situation.
     Hester was determined to live a better life. To give her daughter a better life and be the role model her daughter needed.  Pearl her daughter was living in disgrace. She was trouble. She needed her mother to show her the way.
     Pearl and Hester, including Arther Dimmesdale show the community their inner beauty. They end up being role models for the community and the younger children. I believe Nathaniel Hawthorn's moral of the story was to show Hester in a bigger light than her sin. Your sin does not need to take over your life. You have to over come it with your strength and beauty.
     Adultery is a sin and Hester's society reacted to it.

Socialism

Socialism is a part of the government that is taking away our freedom. Socialism means a system of social organization that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution, of capital; land etc., in the community through false means. They are controlling us with false information in order to control the government better.

Our country should not adapt to this, America is meant to be a free county. The government is controlling us. They want us to do what they think is positive and not want the Lord says or what is right. They want money and that's basically it.
