Scarlet Letter

I am going to write about non-conformist people in the book. Within the first couple of pages in the book, we see the rose bush. The rose bush resembles nature(obviously) and since it resembles nature, it resembles Transcendentalism, and non-conformity. Pearl is one of the non-conformists and is different from everyone else as we see in the book. The big idea is that shes a transcendentalist who goes against conformity and goes against society. Another person who is considered a non-conformists is Hester Prynne . We can consider her a non-conformist because of the prison door. The prison door represents society, and it locks up all of the non-conformists. "The child finally announced that she had not been made at all, but had been plucked by her mother off the bush of wild roses that grew by the prison-door. Pg.219. That sentence shows  that Pearl is one with nature, a transcendentalist, and someone "who goes against the grain"(non-conformist).
