Essay Topic

I am going to talk about the main influences of Hester in her transformation from the ashamed mother to the able mother in the end. I'm going to show how each of the influences(there are a lot to choose from, Pearl, Dimmesdale, Nature, Love) affect Hester in their own way, coming to a conclusion of the one that had to most affect. Each thing has its own effect on Hester(Pearl's influence keeps Hester on the bright side of life) and changes what happens in the seven years of shame. I will explain a lot of influences in some detail, but only the obvious ones in the extreme. In the intro, I will state what I think is the main influence, and tell of others and their importance. My bodies will explain each influnce, with the "main" one last and to sum up the others. The conclusion is a conclusion, its is a repeat pretty much

  1. Mason,

    This sounds interesting; but because you never say specifically what these "influences" are, I'm unable to offer you much advice (also, I'm not sure what you mean by "bodies"--your body paragraphs?).

    Tracking Hester's 'character arc' is a good approach. Just make sure that you GROUND your discussion/argument in the text itself.
