Emily Dickinson- Heaven is what I cannot reach

Emily Dickinson is one of my most favorite poets. I love all of her poems, but one of my favorites is; "Heaven is what I cannot reach". I absolutely love this poem because it is so simple but has so much meaning. The title tells what the whole poem is about, not being able to reach heaven. My favorite part of the poem is in the second line when it says "The Apple on the Tree". Dickinson is comparing heaven to an apple on the tree. Sometimes you cannot reach the apple when it is up on a high branch.

"Heaven"—is what I cannot reach!
The Apple on the Tree—
Provided it do hopeless—hang—
That—"Heaven" is—to Me!

The Color, on the Cruising Cloud—
The interdicted Land—
Behind the Hill—the House behind—
There—Paradise—is found!

Her teasing Purples—Afternoons—
The credulous—decoy—
Enamored—of the Conjuror—
That spurned us—Yesterday!

The letter "A"

In "The Scarlet Letter" the red letter A stands for, adultery, penance, and penitence. The letter A was seen in a lot of ways in the novel. But the way that I have always heard that it was shown is made out of bright red cloth. The woman that practiced adultery, penance, and/or penitence had to wear it on their clothes so that everyone could see that they done one of those things. They always got shunned by everyone if they acted upon one of those "sins". This novel "The Scarlet Letter" reminds me of the movie Easy A. Here is what Easy A is all about; In this charming, critically acclaimed tale of rumors and reputation, Olive (Emma Stone), an average high school student, sees her below-the-radar existence turn around overnight once she decides to use the school's gossip grapevine to advance her social standing. Now her classmates (Amanda Bynes, Aly Michalka) are turning against her and the school board is becoming concerned, including her favorite teacher (Thomas Haden Church) and the distracted guidance counselor (Lisa Kudrow). With the support of her hilariously idiosyncratic parents (Stanley Tucci, Patricia Clarkson) and a little help from a long-time crush (Penn Badgley), Olive attempts to take on her notorious new identity and crush the rumor mill once and for all. I recommend that all of you at least watch the trailer to this movie so that you can see how it relates to the novel "The Scarlet Letter".
