What is significant about hester's position in the community now that years have passed?

I believe the answer is: The community now sees Hester for her charity works instead of her sin. The letter now means able instead of adulterous.

This shows how people could change their opinion regarding other people's character, regardless of the negative deeds which that person did in the past. From her charity works, hester managed to slowly regained her image in the eyes of the public and make her felt included within the community.

overview:

this is a technology-dependent lesson that students can guide at their own pace of exploration and learning. students share what they learn through the use of twitter (or alternative classroom sharing medium like todaysmeet). the use of a social sharing platform like twitter gives students a place for sharing with a wider audience, for more effective means of communication with each other, for incorporating viewpoints from all students in the classroom, and a means to reference thinking and learning by the use of a hashtag at a later time. students will understand the role the allied air forces played in the normandy invasion. teachers can use this as a stand-alone lesson or offer more structure by guiding students through each source, one by one. teachers may learn more about the eighth air force by accessing the abmc’s strategic bombing campaign interactive.
