Although when she sees other children about her age, instead of making friends with them, she chooses to be violent and throw rocks at them. She uses violent words as well. The plot twists because Hester gets out of prison and people leave her alone for a long while. The style of the novel isn't to easy to follow. The language is also difficult to read.
