The quote: "Ah, that was sad!" answered the mother. "But she will love thee dearly, and thou her. She is not far off. I will call her! Pearl! Pearl!" This quote struck me. It struck me, because Hester is speaking with the Reverend, and believes that Pearl will love her father. She calls Pearl over to give an example of Pearls love to the Reverend. He doesn't think Pearl will love him, so he is quite insecure on the matter. (Pg. 213)
The quote: "Foolish child, what a question is that!" exclaimed her mother. "Come and ask his blessing!" This quote struck me. It struck me, because Pearl asked if the Reverend should keep his hand over his heart. Her mother then exclaimed, "Apologize!" Pearl is immature, but very intelligent. Immature, by: some things she doesn't understand. She knows not what she asks sometimes, but usually she's on the dot. She notices the little things, such as the hand over the heart, the no public meetings with the Reverend, and the scarlet letter has importance. (Pg.222)
