Yeesh, I'm not sure why I'm saying this, but I'm actually thankful for the essays we have to write instead of all of that.

Anyway, our class also read The Scarlet Letter, and it too was waaaaay at the beginning of the semester so I remember very little, definitely not in that depth. Try www.SparkNotes.com, that's what I used to study.
