i was in scaffold scene #3. i was one of the Dimmmesdales (blue pants)..Dimmesdale is a character who is very conflicted inside..he is a pasto Hester who committed adultery with..ironically he is the guy trying to get her to tell the name of her lover to the townspeople..the connotation of Dimmesdale's name is he is like a candle that is slowly dimming out..Dimmesdale's character explores a theme of guilt..
Liz looks like she is calling God. Deja seems like she is about to start crying, she looks very depressed. Kenya looks vert hurt like the "A" on Dimmesdale's chest is actually painful.
Lizzette looks like shes really calling out god, Deja looks serious and Kenya looks calm touching her heart as Dimmesdale did. They all protrayed Dimmesdale very well in each of their scenes! ^.^

Laughing out loud. I do look mean, Kenya does look strung out and Liz looks extra happy.

I agree with Ayesha And Deja but it looks like Deja's looks type EVIL.!
