The Scarlet Letter is used in Canadian university senior-level American Lit courses, if you didn't already know. The idea that teenagers in the US are learning this is pretty impressive. I like your passion for both your students and the books that you read. Thanks for providing this discussion of the text.

As a teen having to read this book over summer break... I hate it

[@amazingkris]

@@sophisticatedL0L I didn't like it that much myself, but it does have some peculiar twists and turns. Worth discussing, not much fun to read, ha ha.

[@TheMTHouse]

Duuude! I love this! I read Scarlett Letter in 10th grade, and I don't think I really appreciated it. Love your videos!

[@Nancenotes]

Thank you! I didn't appreciate it as much as I ought when I read it in high school either. It gets better each reread!

[@marielgranados6462]

this video has even helped me as a college student

u saved my life on the ap test bro

You are doing gods work

[@Nancenotes]

That’s what they said about Dimmesdale…

[@albertadriftwood3612]

Hawthorne dismisses Pearl off to some vague success in Europe. Should’ve written that story.

[@meenasopinion471]

Such a nice explaination. I truely loved it. Great analysis 💫💫💫

[@jkseraphim4]

Please come back soon I want to learn about Hester!

[@tucktheduck5119]

I might pass 10th grade

[@Nancenotes]

You should. 11th is much better.

[@nickpetrella6996]

Tim Nance yea... no it’s not😂

[@chaymaekasmi1803]

thank you so much or your videos. i was wondering if you could do some others for "the Book Theif" plaese?

[@Nancenotes]

Thanks for your interest. Maybe someday in the future. I'm kind of overextended right now.

[@chaymaekasmi1803]

ok thank you

[@sabaali3788]

Hi I was wondering if you can help me come up with a thesis statement. I have to analyze Hester, Dimmsedale, Chillingworth, and Pearl’s actions, personalities, motivations, desires, but I don’t know how to start.

[@Nancenotes]

All four? That’s a lot of content to cover. How long is your paper? Sounds like your focus is already developed for you, though. Pick a topic that covers all of this (such as how characters’ understanding of themselves is developed and influenced by their response to shame). Then, make it an argument. I have a video over how to develop a thesis if you’re interested. Good luck.

[@sabaali3788]

@@Nancenotes Thank you! Will you be doing an Analysis of Hester and Dimmesdale?

[@Nancenotes]

Not right now, but you can find all my thoughts on their characters in the video notes I have over the whole book.

[@angelwhyte3948]

where can I find the rest of the videos? Hester's and Dimmesdale's videos are not here .

[@Nancenotes]

They're coming. Hester's probably this week and Dimmesdale's next week.

[@angelwhyte3948]

ok . Thanks for your efforts .

[@Splash_nK]

Video is valid but it'd be more valid if you added what page numbers you're reading your quotes from.

[@Nancenotes]

Wow, that's really condescending. You realize that there are more editions of this book than I can count, each paginated differently, so it would be pointless to include page numbers when each of my viewers has a different copy, not to mention the endless list of public domain online versions of this book. I rarely use the same copy each time I teach it, so it's not even useful for me, much less my audience. If I were to write a formal essay on the book, yes, that would be necessary, but in this format, it would be a waste of time.

[@Splash_nK]

@@Nancenotes Oh-I was writing an essay for English about symbolism with Pearl and your video helped me. It took awhile for me to find the pages of the quotes though so I just added that comment. It was just a suggestion. I ain't try to be condescending. Also didn't expect a paragraph answer. But okay.
