RISE TO FAME
Hawthorne became a famous

It was a story based on a
woman who had a child out of
wedlock and is considered to
have committed adultery and
is forced to wear a red letter A
on all of her clothing
DR. HEIDEGGER’S EXPERIMENT
An old man invites four of his friends over for dinner and asks
them if they want to partake in an experiment he is conducting
He tells them it involves the Fountain of Youth
He then proves this to them by throwing a 50 year old rose
into the jar of water, while the friends watch it bloom
The 3 men and one woman agree to the experiment and drink
3 glasses of water
They slowly grow younger
DR. HEIDEGGER’S EXPERIMENT
As they do, the men begin to fight for the attention
of the young woman
They end up knocking the glass over, spilling its
contents which in turn makes them grow old again
Greed takes the friends to Florida searching for
more of the water while the Doctor sits casually by,
realizing that you should not mess with fate
FACTS
One of his stories was based on him finding a little girl
drown in the pond in his back yard by her own mother
His last name was originally spelled “Hathorne.” He
changed it after graduating from college so that the
spelling would more closely match the pronunciation.
His good friend, Herman Melville dedicated his novel
Moby Dick to Hawthorne .
