Chapter 5
When Hester moved she started to make clothes for poor people without getting paid. I think the reason she did this was because it was a way she could punish herself, it made her feel better and she got something else to think about. Maybe she though that since she did something nice, people could like her again and she could have some "friends". I also think that this is something she liked to do, and was good at, she wanted to show people that she was good in something, and not only a bad person.

I'm not sure making clothes is a punishment for her. It is a way that she can give to the community - to a community that looks down on her. It gives her a sense of purpose.
