To Answer Your Question.....

When Mr. Dimmesdale sat in his locked closet, I can just see how bloody and graphic his back looked once he finished whipping himself with his bloody scourge. Then I also began to picture how his whole body looked since he constantly fasted for unhealthy spans of time, and how he would go on with his life without sleeping for days on end. I believe this was an important image in the book because it showed the reader how far he went due to the fact of just being upset with himself about his previously preformed actions. It also made the reader wonder what would of happened if Dimmesdale would have just confessed about being the father earlier in the novel. Would he have been normal, or would he have been in about the same situation he was currently living by punishing himself?

The image of Hester, Dimmesdale, and Pearl standing on the scaffold hand in hand comes to mind as own of the most vivid images so far. I can just imagine how Dimmesdale's facial expressions were when Pearl kept questioning him about if he would stand just like that the next day at noon time. This also set an image in my mind about how Hester's reaction to what he said was revealed. This became more impacting when the meteor shot through the sky in the shape of the letter "A". Then I could just see them all sitting there with a look of question located on their faces. This impressed me because of the way Hawthorne projected the scenes to make the reader experience the feeling of actually being in the book, and I think this scene was well written. It also impressed me because it lead straight into the next vivid image I am about to note in this blog.

The last image that was extremely vivid to me was when the sexton brought the glove up to Dimmesdale after church was over. This image made me imagine about how Dimmesdale would have percieved himself to the story the sexton was telling him. I also imagined is facial expressions when he heard that the "A" actually standed for angel instead of what he thought, and also that the devil would have been the one to place the glove by the scaffold since he wouldn't have been there for any other reason. This impressed me because I can't imagine how someone could have stood in a holy place like a church and continued to lie through his teeth about the night that occured previously. Another reason this scene impressed me was because it proved that the previous scene I wrote about was actually reality and wasn't just something that Dimmesdale had dreamed about due to the lack of sleep.
