Chapter 8(A Mothers Love)
In Chapter 8 readers are introduced to a question of thought. This question being where Pearl was born? Pearl had stated that she was picked by the rose bushs next to the prsion door rather than answering the Heavenly Father. Therefore, the Governor feels as if Pearl is mistaken and he starts to sense that Hester is improperly raising Pearl. Hester rapidly responded to this as says that Pearl is a gift from God and that no one can take that gift away which is also Hester's only reason for joy and sorrow in her abundant life. We as readers tend to feel for Hester because she has gone out her way for Pearl and by her actions in which she has shown her true and idea love for Pearl. Anyone feel that Pearl should be in the hands of the Governor. Also The Governor did state that Pearl will STRICTLY be taught.

I don't think that Pearl should be in the hands of the governor. Pearl is the reason for Hester's living. Pearl is also the reason for Hester's shame. She is a constant reminder of her sin. Pearl is a symbol of individuality and an outspoken character. She cannot be raised with Puritan beliefs. Hester is raising Pearl just fine by herself.
