Homework - (Monday, November 28, 2012)
In his short story, Hawthorne presents his story as a parable in a few ways. The moral lesson that this parable illustrates is the true meaning of the Minister and his black veil. This stroy shows how people in the town treated Mr. Hooper after he put the black veil on, compared how they treated and respected him before that. Hawthorne does a really good job at showing how the townspeople of Milford react to his veil, and how differently they now treat him. Even at the end of the story, where Mr. Clark goes to see Mr. Hooper, it shows the feelings of the townspeople and the superficial qualities of others around him.
A life lesson that was taught to me was a lesson about how to live by my cousin Michael. As an older brother figure to me, my cousin told me not to follow the paths of others that you know are wrong, but to go in the path of what I know is right. This lesson shows the way how I live my life now. I don't follow anyone, I lead.
