'the scarlet letter" (not so bad)

........Hester Prynne has prevailed. I was won over by The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawwthorne. After finishing the account of Hester Prynne, which was a small portion of the book, I have a new appreciation for this piece of literature. Even though it is a very difficult story to get through, I have developed an admiration for Hawthorne. His vivid descriptions bring to mind John Ernst Steinbeck, Jr. writing style, who is one of my favorite authors.
