d. When Governor Bellingham demands to know what Hester can teach Pearl concerning the "truths of heaven and earth," Hester replies by stating that she can teach Pearl what she has learned from her own suffering and shame. She believes that through her own experiences, Pearl will gain a deeper understanding of the complexities of life, both the heavenly and earthly truths.
e. When Hester last saw Chillingworth, he was described as a gentle, elderly scholar with a calm demeanor. However, since then, his appearance has undergone a significant change. He now appears twisted and deformed, with a more sinister and evil presence. This change in his appearance reflects the dark and malevolent nature of his character, as his obsession with revenge against Dimmesdale has consumed him and transformed him physically.
To find the answer to question d, you can refer to Chapter 8 of "The Scarlet Letter." In this chapter, Governor Bellingham questions Hester about what she can teach Pearl regarding the "truths of heaven and earth."
The easiest way to find Hester's reply is to read the actual text of Chapter 8. There are multiple online resources where you can find the full text of "The Scarlet Letter." One such resource is the SparkNotes website (www.sparknotes.com/lit/scarlet/).
Once you are on the website, navigate to the section for Chapter 8 and read the corresponding text to find Hester's response to Governor Bellingham's question.
As for question e, you are looking for information about how Chillingworth's appearance has changed since Hester last saw him. This information can be found in Chapters 5-7 of "The Scarlet Letter."
Similarly, to find the answer, you can refer to the online resource mentioned earlier (www.sparknotes.com/lit/scarlet/) or another resource such as Online Literature website (www.online-literature.com/hawthorne/scarletletter/). Navigate to the section for the corresponding chapters (5-7) and read the text to find the description of Chillingworth's changed appearance.
By going through the text itself, you will be able to find the specific details and quotes needed to answer these questions accurately.
