Scarlet Letter.

So I was in English 11 AP today..
After the vocabulary quiz, we discussed the Scarlet Letter.
It was a very long book that I did not bother to read.
In fact, I was half-asleep after the quiz.

But I started to pay attention to what Higgins was saying.

We were discussing how the scarlet letter was a mark for her sin and a reminder of the shame she committed, and how it will stay with her for the rest of her life.
"Hester Prynn has a scarlet letter A. A for Adultery. Now.. this is a rhetorical question. Meaning, I don't want you to answer aloud. Is there something that regret in your life? What would your Scarlet Letter be? Would it be homemade? What font would it be in? Would it be intricate, or simple?"

And the like.
I thought about it.
I really did.

It's something I have yet to totally figure out.
