Finding the Scarlet Letter Interesting

Hawthorne, The Scarlet Letter (Ch 14-21) -- American Literature, 1800-1915 (EL 266)

Don't get me wrong here folks. I did read the Scarlet Letter. I just couldn't find anything about the other 7plus chapters we had to read. I don't really know what else to say. I mean it wasn't that I didn't enjoy reading it, it's just that..well..for me the Scarlet Letter is "blah".

I don't know if anyone else had this problem (obviously not if people are finding quotes to use) but I just couldn't get into the ending of the book. I don't know if it's because it didn't have the traditional "happy" ending or what not but I was just like looking at the of the book and was like "THAT'S IT!?"

Oh well, time to read the introductory...

Lou, thank you... I am so glad to find that someone else was feeling the same way that I was by the time I reached the end of the story. I found myslef having to dig for a quote to talk about in my blog, not because it was particularly interesting to me, but because I have to. I read this book in high School for the fun of it and never finished it... I know why now...
