 * Review your annotations with your literature circle, then move on to Lit Circle Meeting
 * 4. Literature Circle Meeting #6: **
 * Using Cornell Notes, discuss and answer the following with your group using textual evidence:
 * CH 14
 * 1) Notice that Chillingworth is called a “leech” in the chapters in which he interacts with Dimmsdale, but a “physician” in this interaction with Hester. Considering the definition of “leech,” what do you suppose is Hawthorne’s point in using these two designations?
 * 2) What is Hester’s response to the announcement that the Council had debated allowing her to remove her scarlet letter?
 * 3) Why does Chillingworth believe he has a double reason for punishing Dimmsdale?
 * CH 15
 * 1) What is Hester coming to realize is the true sin she has committed?
 * 2) Why would Hawthorne consider this a worse sin that her sin with Dimmsdale?
 * 3) What does Hester realize about her “repentance”?
 * 4) Hester refuses to answer Pearl’s question about the meaning of the “A.” Why does Hester not confide in Pearl?
 * 5) Why does Hawthorne portray Pearl as such a wild child?
 * 6) How have Hester’s conversations with Chillingworth and Pearl changed her attitude toward herself and her sin?
