The Ministers Black Veil

The Ministers Black Veil is the same and different in many ways because it teaches a life lesson. In the story the minister wore a veil to try and cover up his face but really was covering his sin, but the only thing it did was make it ovious that he had a sin hanging over him and made him stand out to everyone. He wanted to show that he did something bad and make sure that people new the truth. Once he had the veil on he was being critizied and no one wanted to associate with him.
A parable is a short story that shows or teachs a moral lesson therefor this story is a parible. The story shows that you really have to look deep down in a person other then judge them by how they look or what they wear.
I like this story because it is different and teaches a lesson. Mr. Hooper, the minister wasn't afraid to show people that he had a sin and even though people treated him differently he stood his ground, even after losing his wife and friends. This story really shows that you have to really not care what people think and act for yourself
