While reading The Scarlet Letter I have found it has several connections to the characters to Winnie the Pooh. I think Mr. Dimmesdale is like Eeyore and Christopher Robin. He is Christopher Robin to his congregation, well revered and respected but he is like Eeyore too because he is constantly sad and has a really low self esteem. His enemy Roger Chillingworth is like Rabbit, narcissistic  and mean. Even Rabbit has respect for Christopher Robin as Chillingworth has respect that side of Dimmesdale.  Hester Prynne reminds me of Kenga, a loving mother whose whole life is centered around her child. Roo is similar to Pearl because they are booth full of life and  can brighten anyone's day (even Eeyore's).  I'm not sure who Winnie the Pooh is as they all have traits of this legendary character. Hester shares the fact that they both wear the color red in an iconic fashion. Pooh and Chillingworth are both obsessed with nature's goodness, honey and herbs for medicine. Mr Dimmesdale is also like Pooh because he is kind and cares for his congregation quite a lot and little Pearl is beautiful, young, and naive just like Pooh.   This connection just helps me to relate how the characters in The Scarlett Letter interact because I can remember how the characters with certain traits interact in Winnie the Pooh.

I really like this comparison. It was well thought out. I can clearly see the connections of the characters. Great job!
