The Study Guide
We have sold Bible based literature study guides from Progeny Press for a number of years and have been very pleased with them. Progeny Press Study Guides are used in conjunction with age appropriate novels to explore literature from a sound Biblical perspective. These study guides deal with literature as works of art and philosophy, explain and use literary terms, and deal with plot construction. They dig into why the characters act, believe, and feel as they do and examine what the Bible says in similar circumstances. Easy-to-use lessons include vocabulary exercises, comprehension and analysis, critical thinking, questions on related Biblical principles, activities, plus a complete answer key.
Please Note: This is an interactive CD-ROM, which contains a full-version study guide in a PDF format. It is PC & MAC compatible. With interactive files, students now have the capability of entering their answers directly on the computer and saving their work in progress. Parents can also grade the work on the computer, leaving comments and notes within the file. You can also print as many copies as you like for your students. Adobe Acrobat Reader is required to view and print this file format. If your computer does not already contain Adobe Acrobat Reader or you need to upgrade to the latest version, it can be downloaded free via an internet link included on this CD.
The Novel Summary
Hester Prynne has traveled alone to America to prepare a home for herself and her husband. In her husband's long absence Hester commits adultery and gives birth to a child. In accordance with the town's strict biblical law, Hester is punished, though leniently for that time in the colony. She is sentenced to stand for several hours on the town's scaffold exposed to public shame and to wear a scarlet "A" for the rest of her life. Hester's partner in sin, a prominent member of the community, remains silent about his own guilt, and Hester refuses to reveal his identity. Meanwhile, Hester's long-absent husband, Roger Chillingworth, returning on the very day Hester must endure her public humiliation decides to remain silent concerning his own identity but determines to seek revenge on Hester's lover. Hawthorne mixes Puritanism with the birth of Romanticism as he examines sin, guilt, vengeance, and redemption.
