Scarlet Letter Resources

1) A website that lets you search the ENTIRE text for specific words: search SL

2) Critical essays that explore the female characters of the novel- a variety of critical approaches, but mostly psychoanalytical and feminist lit. theory- female characters

3) 1850s review that focuses on the novel's connection to transcendentalism: transcendentalism

4) More info on theories as applied to SL: theories applied to SL, new hist in SL

There's lots online, but I'll let you find the rest if interested.

If you write a response to something you learned form one of these sites, post a question that arose as a result of reading the info from one of these sites, or find another good site (not sparknotes, wikipedia, etc), something good might happen to you....

  2. No. This is just extra info for people who are looking to push their mental envelope.

    Hwk dues Tuesday should have been on the last overhead the sub put up. If not, here it is:
    - You'll have 10 min to work on posters, then they need to be done. SO if you need to do additional thinking, reading, researching, etc, do it. (The links listed above could help if you're stuck and have no "ah ha"s)
    - Review literary theory notes. Apply 2 different theories to your Historical Fiction book. Write a one page entry per theory in your composition book.

    I hope class went well with the sub :)
