As Chillingworth walks away, Hester goes to find Pearl. She realizes that, although it is a sin to do so, she hates her husband. If she once thought she was happy with him, it was only self-delusion. Pearl has been playing in the tide pools down on the beach. Pretending to be a mermaid, she puts eelgrass on her chest in the shape of an “A,” one that is “freshly green, instead of scarlet.” Pearl hopes that her mother will ask her about the letter, and Hester does inquire whether Pearl understands the meaning of the symbol on her mother’s chest. They proceed to discuss the meaning of the scarlet letter. Pearl connects the letter to Dimmesdale’s frequent habit of clutching his hand over his heart, and Hester is unnerved by her daughter’s perceptiveness. She realizes the child is too young to know the truth and decides not to explain the significance of the letter to her. Pearl is persistent, though, and for the next several days she harangues her mother about the letter and about the minister’s habit of reaching for his heart.

stepladder [879]

Answer:

I would say a mixture of both logos and pathos.

You want to touch on the emotional side, to try and hook the audience, then come back with facts to show the real happenings. With that will come pathos.

A good introduction paragraph will state all three of the main supporting details to an argument. True or false?
dalvyx [7]

It is customary that the introductory paragraph should include the thesis statement, a kind of mini-outline for the paper. It tells the reader what the essay is about. The last sentence of this paragraph must also contain a transitional "hook" which moves the reader to the first paragraph of the body of the paper.

Given the previous information, we could conclude that stating all three of the main supporting details to an argument is a constituent of a good introductory paragraph because that would be considered as the thesis statement, which tells the reader what the essay is about.

So, the final answer is:

Yes , True
