Why do the leaders of the town believe that Pearl could be a negative influence on Hester in the book The Scarlet Letter

English
1 answer:
Vlada [557]3 years ago
7 0

Pearl is a very conflicting character. Her attitude and actions can be interpreted in many different ways as she has a remarkably multi-faceted personality. We see she's a very special and intelligent child, but often her behavior shows glimpses of a darker side as she seems to hurt Hester's emotions on purpose at times. It'd be easy to interpret Pearl <u>as the personification of Hester's sin and a negative force in her life, like many leaders of the town do</u>. But we have to remember she's just a child, and ultimately ends up helping her mother to move on.


Hope this helps!

Virty [35]

In his opening paragraph, King says that he rarely pauses to answer criticisms, but he is replying to "A Call For Unity" because
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

d . he believes them to be sincere and good.

Explanation:

“A call for Unity” was written by eight white pastors who gave their opinions on Martin Luther King Jr. and his actions. They wrote that they essentially agreed with King’s causes, but not with the method of “extreme measurements”. They called King out as an “outsider” because he protested instead of taking the problem to the court.

<u>King recognized their well-meaning attitude and the ways they agree with the ideas.</u> This is why he said, at the end of the "Letter from a Birmingham Jail" he will take time to reply to them. <u>He writes about how he feels their genuine goodwill and capability for understanding.</u> <u>Although he mentioned he does not have time for answering criticism usually, this recognition of the sincerity and good means made him change his principle.</u>
