    Hi everyone! I was just wondering if someone could help to give me a push to writing my research paper for my 11th grade literary research class. I have to write an essay on nature in the scarlet letter, and I am having trouble thinking of what to write it about. I was thinking about writitng it on light and dark and somehow connecting it to the characters or by writing about the vast personification of nature in the novel, but I am having a hard time coming up with a thesis, and rough outline and was wondering if someone could PLEASE help!!!

    Thanks so much!

    Hi I was wondering why the narrators view of hester changed throughout the novel. I was also wondering if there is any examples of when light and dark descriptions are made that relates to this issue.


    Thanks

    Does anyone have any evidence from the novel where the narrator's view of the characters are shown through the use of light and dark imagery.


    Thanks
