 * BROUGHT TO YOU BY YOU KNOW WHO (1SLS)**

Chapter 15: //Hester and Pearl//
 * H is angered by her conversation w/ CW and decides his actions are far worse than hers
 * H realizes that: CW: no longer a “god-send” but a fiend or devil, with “a face that haunted men’s memories longer than they liked” (182).
 * H calls back P who has been making boats of birch bark and playing with a horseshoe crab and jellyfish and made an “A” of green seaweed which she wears
 * When H asks her about it, and why H herself wears the A, Pearl replies: “It is for the same reason that the minister keeps his hand over his heart” (186).
 * H observes that P has “an unflinching courage, --an uncontrollable will,--a sturdy pride, which might be disciplined into self-respect—and a bitter scorn for many things” (187). H worries if her sin has rubbed off on P
 * P repeatedly asks about the letter and the minister and H avoids the questions
