The Scarlet A as in Letter.

Abstract: (8pp). We have been told that cultures with more complex ideas, more readily responded to the development of a written language. Not only was writing used for the keeping of records in these early societies, but it was also used for religious purposes and socio-economic functions. We might say where the Church and State were tied together, early alphabets and language forms also existed. I would say that the Puritans tied the Church and State tightly together, and felt mandated to do so, such actions are certainly shown in Hawthorne's Scarlet Letter.
