[nabs-l] The Scarlet Letter

[Ashley Bramlett]

Hello,
well, you already did my first suggestion. I was going to suggest read in 
braille! For many people, reading word by word in braille equates to a 
better understanding and its easier to analyze the text by reading and 
rereading certain parts.

I'm not sure what to suggest with out knowing what type of essay it is.
All I can think of is reading plot summaries from sparknotes or similar 
source.
Discuss it with a classmate. Maybe even ask a tutor at school for help; many 
schools offer free tutoring.

Also, use a dictionary for unfamiliar terms. I think I read that book in 
high school, but we must have read a different version as I do not recall 
much old english in it.

Is this course part of a major or general program? Have you taken a 
literature class before?
I took a couple during my undergrad degree.

Good luck.

Hi, I’m actually reading The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne in order 
to write a final exam paper that my Literature Professor will give us a 
topic for. He will actually give us the topic of the paper next week, but 
this book is hard to understand due to the old English from the 1800’s. My 
professor told us that we need to read the entire book in order to write 
this paper. Did you ever read The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne, and 
what do you recommend me to do in order for me to understand The Scarlet 
letter much better? Actually, my brother help me find some summaries of the 
whole book, but What other sources I can use in order to understand this 
book much better? I actually, have the book in Audio and Braille format, 
but still it’s hard to understand it. What do you recommend me  to do? By 
the way, my paper will be due on Monday, April 29. Thank you so much.
