Sheehy English 11

Now that you have thoroughly picked through “The Minister’s Black Veil” and discovered Nathaniel Hawthorne’s expression against secret sin, please move to the third level of reading, considering if Hawthorne is right – if he describes what you believe to be an accurate depiction of life, and if you think it is accurate, whether you agree that it is problematic, as Father Hooper believes.

To write well for this blog, I recommend that you begin by explaining in your own words what you think the moral is of Hawthorne’s parable. Then you can build your discussion from there, explaining how right or wrong you think it is, how insightful or profound you think it may be.  Please remember to give Hawthorne credit by naming him and the title of his story.
