As I was reading the chapters, I was fascinated at the fact that Hester has a brilliant talent for needlework. I actually found it quite ironic that she creates such beautiful pieces, yet she is seen as such a piece of trash. So, in honor of her, I thought I would give Hester a little boost of self confidence.
Needles
Show them your work
Stitch by stitch.
Pitching the needle
right through the fabric
the way
their stares
pierce your body.
How every stitch
brings together a masterpiece
of broken materials.
Like you,
piecing it all
back together.
Your talent
so divine.
Defies their code
of a simple lifestyle.
A beautiful outcast
you are.
Finally, last class we discussed the value of a Haiku and how it debatably has none. I decided to write a haiku in honor of our struggle:
The Scarlet Letter
A tragic book we must read
Very Puritan
