Matthew was something that Logan felt he would never understand.
They came from two very different worlds, and everything that Matthew did fascinated Logan. How someone could sit and pour over book for hours, or willingly get in a pool and swim multiple laps, Logan would never understand. He had no idea really what (or why) Matthew did for fun.

There was something addicting and striking about watching Matthew sleep. He was so gorgeous, and he looked so peaceful. He was such a busy kid, he was enrolled in so many classes, and he was constantly practicing for band.

    Scarlet Letter Journal Analysis Journal #2: In the novel The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne, the scarlet letter negatively affects Hester because it excludes her from society, labels her as the embodiment of sin in the town, and grants her a lot of disrespect among the people.
