Hegemony

There hasn't been too many situations where I can say I've been hegemonized by a teacher. Although, I can say I've dealt with hegemony with other Christians. Sometimes I feel as if they try to dominate over me when they see I do not live the same as they do. I feel judged and shut down when they realize I may not have the same beliefs as they do. I believe that I should be able to express my beliefs without being belittled or judged.

How Hester Has Changed

Hester Prynne is looked down upon in her town because she has committed adultery. She struggles with accepting this fact. Before her daughter was born Hester described herself as being wild. Her motherhood as made her come to terms with reality in a sense. As the story goes on, Hester overcomes her label in her town and becomes social again. The people in her town gradually start to accept her and her daughter.

Connecting with Hester

One time me and my family went camping. I was probably about 5 years old if not younger. I went bike riding with some friends and when I came back to my camper my family wasn't there. I was trying to get in touch with my mom through the walkie talkie and she gave me direction to where she was at. I spent a few hours wandering around the campsite to find her. It was nighttime before I finally went to somebody's camper and asked them to help me find my mom. This is definitely a time where I felt lonely.

Sugar is what you taste like
And I think you're hot stuff.
I bought you Mike and Ike,
You'll love it, sholl 'nuff.

Be mine, that would be sweet.
You should really text me!
Before you get beat.
Come on, you're hot and I think we both agree.
