The Prison-Door
While I was reading the first chapter of the Scarlet Letter in class, I couldnt help imagining the difference in punishment for men and women who are unfaithful. In this story, the woman is known to have commited adultery because she has given birth to a child, but the man, at this point in the story, is unknown and has gotten out of the punishment. I dont believe that is fair. With the tone this story started with I imagine much more will happen, and even more will be revieled.

Aside from the misspelling at the end, this is a good post given what you were asked to do. I did ask you to consider that statement about building the cemetery and the prison, but your comment here is okay. Just be careful about the prompts that I give in class in the future.
