We will discuss two integration by parts homework problems. We will review the method and continue working on this topic.

We continue to analyze how perspective , foils, symbols, and plot sequencing contribute to meaning. First, we studied how society's interpretation of the scarlet letter "A" varies depending on the viewer. From there ,we noted how interpretation of a symbol can add complexity and meaning. We explored the novel's overall meaning that the sin rests more in its hiding than its commission. We discussed how plot sequencing , here in media res, reenforces this interpretation as Hawthorne does not portray the sin itself, but only its impact on the characters who either wear it literally or falsely hide it. We further discussed how this tension between appearance and reality creates a complexity that reveals character.

We will do two more examples involving integration by parts. The first will be a difficult problem that is made easier by following the guidelines for getting it started. The second will be a definite integral that is less demanding. We will also do an introduction to section 7.3 on trigonometric integrals.

We first explored how foils operate in the novel to illuminate character by virtue of contrast. We discussed how Hester P, Chillingworth, and Dimmesdale , react differently to the societal pressure caused by Hester's adultery. We then studied the text noting how the narrator and Hester Prynne are almost doppelgängers as each seeks expiation through art and each feels compelled to reside in the locale of the actual or perceived sin. I further pointed out textual passages that introduce the novel's theme of universal sin which all people conceal and how the pretense of moral purity is worse than the sin itself according to the author. Last, we began a focus on the symbolism of Pearl acting as a contrast to the rigidity of the Puritan theology.

Joshua used the Cricut to cut out the next three pieces of his design.

In this unit, we are studying how narrator perspective ,symbols, and foils contribute to a novel's interpretation. Using the novel ,The Scarlet Letter, we discussed the reading by focusing on these areas. On the board, I noted the three foil characters, Hester, Dimmesdale, and Chillingworth, and we explored how each character responds to Hester's adultery .We discussed Hester's defiance and examined Chillingworth's dual character. He, on one hand, acknowledges his irresponsible behavior in marrying Hester in the first instance, but also voices his commitment to destroying the soul of the yet unnamed father of Hester's child. We noted the novel's diction in characterizing Chillingworth as "the leech."

We will complete our examples of integration using tables by going over the 7 assigned problems. from section 7.1 in the text. We will begin our study of integration by parts and do several examples.
