Explanation:

"The Scarlet Letter" is a romantic novel that was written by Nathaniel Hawthorne and which was published in 1850. The novel narrates the story of Hester Prynne, a woman who lives in the Massachusetts Bay Colony between 1642 and 1649 and who has to live through the shameful rejection by her society for having fallen in love, and having a secret affair that produced a child, with the minister Dimmesdale. At first we are led to believe, and so Hester and her society believes, that Hester´s husband died during his voyage from England to the colony. However, it turns out he did not die, but rather, decided to assume a different name, and become a physician. Hester discovers the truth about her husband´s trickery but he uses his status and his knowledge, as well as the risk that she would incurr into if people found out that he was alive, given her adultery, to try and force her to give him the name of her lover. In the end, they find out the truth because Dimmesdale cannot live with his conscience, but in the meantime, Chillingworth, who is the new name of Hester´s husband, uses all his manipulative powers to try and force things as he wants them to be, in revenge for Hester´s infidelity.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
