9.  Mr Nathaniel Hawthorne works can not be compared
to many other artists
 The themes however can be compared to many
situations such as Scarlet Letter how that dealt with
forbidden love, hidden desires, guilt eating away at
people, revenge hurting people
 “With his contemporary Edgar Allen Poe, Hawthorne
transformed the American short story from popular
magazine filler into a major literary form (Backpack
Literature.)

10. Mr. Nathaniel Hawthorne was an brilliant and ambitious artist. I
like the fact that he did not let the rejections of early work stop
him from writing. If it had not been for him writing The Scarlet
Letter I would have never known about Puritan society and the
laws of the early times.
The work of the artist is still widely used for the themes he had in
his works, much of the literary devices, drama and subjects that we
can still appeal to today.
I would like to believe that God has a plan for each and every one
of us and we will not leave that world until we have accomplished
what God wants for us. I know that many times we fall off track in
life or things that go the way that we want to but as long as we got
God guiding us he will help us discover the right path.
