Shikha Patel September 18, 2013 Period 1 The Scarlet Letter Chapters 1-7 Chapters 1-3 1. The throng of people is townspeople who are there to see Hester Prynne be punished for her crime. 2. According to Hawthorne, the first two places allotted for in any new community are a cemetery and a prison. 4. I think that Hawthorne is using the rosebush as a symbol of wilderness and nature?s beauty. Everything else that is surrounding this area is dreary and ugly but this the rosebush is a beautiful piece of nature. The rose bush is supposed to bless the people that go into the church. The book mentions Anne Hutchinson and says that the bush sprang up when Anne Hutchinson got there.
