GANG WE FINALLY FINISHED IT

IT TOOK ABOUT LEGIT SEVEN MONTHS🥲

overall pretty good- I think I’d like it more if I read it on my own time because I had to take seven months to read it and so we are all done with it now but I think if I read it of my own free will I think I would like it more than I do right now:)

The tendency of her fate and fortunes had been to set her free. The scarlet letter was her passport into regions where other women dared not tread. Shame, Despair, Solitude! These had been her teachers,—stern and wild ones,—and they had made her strong, but taught her much amiss.

Not seldom, she would laugh anew, and louder than before, like a thing incapable and unintelligent of human sorrow. Or—but this more rarely happened—she would be convulsed with a rage of grief, and sob out her love for her mother, in broken words, and seem intent on proving that she had a heart, by breaking it.
