When I am dead, as dead I well may be – a fit of shivering caused not by the cold sheets but by pleasurable emotions almost silenced me. You'll kneel and say an Ave there above me —What was an Ave? Every day I forgot to find out. Character’s action: instead of shutting the gate,(the narator) opened it as wide as could. (she) didn’t make any decision to do this, it was just what (she) did. I hated the hot dark kitchen in summer, the green blinds and the flypapers, the same old oilcloth table and wavy mirror and bumpy linoleum. Character Character’s looks: A girl was not, as I had supposed, simply what I was; it was what I had to become. It was a definition, always touched with emphasis, with reproach and disappointment. Also it was a joke on me. Once Laird and I were fighting, and for the first time ever I had to use all my strength against him; even so, he caught and pinned my arm for a moment, really hurting me.

Transcript: Misc. Points: About the Author In my coat of arms I had put eagles to show that she is wise and intelligent. I put a arrows to show that she is willing to sacrifice herself for her husband's satisfaction of getting rid of the birthmark. The helmet shows that she is loyal since she is choosing to stay with her husband even though he can't seem to live with her birthmark. A Scroll Explanation Nature versus Science A Plant I chose to bring in a ring because it shows the faith and commitment in the story. Although at first she is reluctant to get rid of her birthmark he listens to her husband and she has faith that he knows what is best. Even till the end when she knows he is giving her a vile that can't get rid of her birthmark and that all of his projects haven't been a success, she still takes it, causing her death. She cares about his opinion about her. She is very devoted to her husband. Prediction Introduction Alymer, being a scientist, believes that his wife should have her birthmark removed since he thinks that science is more powerful than nature. For him, the birthmark symbolizes mortality and it taints the vision of Georgiana in his mind. Georgiana believes that the mark should be left alone as nature has placed it there For her, it is a charm that has been placed upon her cheek and it doesn't bother her. Explanation The Birthmark has many themes: Science versus Nature Human nature/Perfection Alymer, a newly wed brilliant scientist, asks his wife whether or not she has ever considered removing her birthmark. Georgiana, his wife, replies that she hasn't considered it and that it doesn't bother her so there is no need to remove it. Alymer can't seem to let this birthmark go as it continues to grow as a bigger issue everyday. Eventually, she agrees to let her husband remove her birthmark. He tries and fails which ends up killing her. I have also brought in a scroll to show that she is wise and intelligent. When she knowingly drinks the vile, that can't get rid of her birthmark, to please her husband, before she dies she says that her husband had rejected "the best the earth had to offer". Proving that she was right the whole time and she was wise enough to see it. She passes the time, when her husband isn't home, by reading many philosophical novels. Conflict: man versus man Alymer and Georgiana are arguing over Georgiana's birthmark Human Nature I thought that this story would be about a hideous birthmark that many people would run and hide from. The person with the birthmark would later try and remove it. I was somewhat right and somewhat wrong as I was right about a person having a birthmark and them trying to remove it but it was a small mark on her cheek. Also, her husband wanted her to remove it as it didn't bother her. Items for My Protagonist's Personality Aylmer’s wish is to have his wife be perfect and he calls her birthmark "a visible mark of earthly imperfection". Later in the story, when Alymer is upset in his laboratory, Georgiana agrees to drink whatever potion he gives her. While waiting she realizes that Alymer only wants his perfect version of her and he can't love her just the way she is. He only sees the birthmark and he only thinks about it. He wakes up one night imagining that he had cut the birthmark out of her face. I have brought in the following items: A plant A ring A scroll Prior to this scene, Alymer has tried removing her birthmark but has failed and Georgiana ended up fainting. In this scene, he is trying to make her happy. He is going to use something he learned earlier that allows him to create objects. For example, he gives her a flower that instantly blooms. She thinks that it is magic but she doesn't want to touch it. He tells her to touch it before it withers away but when as soon as she touches it, it dies. I enjoyed this scene because I thought the description was beautiful and descriptive. Lesson I learned The Birthmark Summary Story Written By: Nathaniel Hawthorne Nathaniel Hawthorne wrote many novels and short stories such as The Scarlet Letter and Young Goodman Brown. He was born on July 4, 1804. His first story was called Fanshawe, and he published this with his own money later to decide that he wouldn't like anyone to read it so he destroyed all copies. creations Coat of Arms By: Mallika Khurana A Ring Comic Strip Short Story Report: The Birthmark I learned that every feature you have on your body is put there for some reason or the other and that you should love everything about yourself. I also learned that science is important in everyday life but what is already here we shouldn't always try to change. We should let nature take its course sometimes. I brought in a plant because Georgiana believes that everything is there for a reason and we should let nature take it's course. The plant represents nature and her birthmark. Also, plants need water and this being a house plants human give water to it. Since Georgiana is the plant she relies on whatever is
