The Black Veil

The Black Veil was a very intresting story. I though it was different that the minister punished himself by wearing a black veil(why did he choose that) for the rest of his life. He could have just repented and moved on with his life instead of letting the veil remind him of what he did everyday of his life. Everyone makes mistakes in life but you cant keep allowing them to control your life. You make mistakes and learn from them. They help you become a better person and give you the experience in life that make you wiser and able to teach others. As the minister in the story he should have been a good example, yes he did make a mistake that he thought was bad but he forgave himself and because of that god forgave him to.
