May I Have Your Autograph??

I'd say by far, out of all the stories, parable, poems, sermons,  articles,  and whatever else. My favorite author out of them is Nathaniel Hawthorne.

Nathaniel Hawthorne was born in Salem, Massachusetts in 1804. The only son to Nathaniel Hathrone & Elizabeth Clark Hathrone. His father was a sea captain & died when he was four. Forcing him, his sisters  & his mother to move in with their stinking rich uncles. He got his passion for reading and writing because of an leg injury that left him immobile. With the provided aid from his uncles,  he attended Bowdoin College from 1821-1825. While attending college he began to miss his mom and sisters, so after graduation he moved back in for 12 years where he found a purpose for writing and his "voice".

Nathaniel Hawthorne has a peculiar way of wording his words and turning them into a story, but its complication for understanding hooks me on.

For example,  In The Minister's Black Veil he says "In this manner Mr.Hooper spent a long irreproachable outward act, yet shrouded in dismal suspicions; kind and loving, though unloved, and dimly feared; a man apart from men,  shunned in their health and joy,  but ever summoned to their aid in mortal anguish."
This means Mr. Hooper has had a long and hard day because of the veil. This veil is bring up suspicions. His loving and caring future wife,  who is all up to understand. Eventually ended up leaving him. The congregation feared him. He was shut out.


In The Scarlet Letter he says " It was a circumstances to be noted, on the summer morning, when our story begins it's course,  that the women,  of whom, there were several in the crowd,  appeared to take a peculiar interest in whatever penal infliction might be expected to ensure. "
This means let this be known,  the woman who had done the crime. Her time will only be half of what she expected.
