In the first TWO paragraphs of Ch. 6 in The Scarlet Letter, how do all of the rhetorical and literary techniques create the passage's meaning?What...

Much of the description in these two paragraphs, like the rest of the book, is from Hawthorne's vantage, not any of the characters.  His description of Pearl serves to emphasize the exclusion of her from the community; Hester, rather than trying to integrate herself or her child back into the culture, "morbidly" goes the other way and dresses Pearl extravagantly -- which was actually forbidden in Puritan times -- but once a transgressor, why not go all the way?  Particularly this action emphasizes Hester's skill as a seamstress, which again serves to isolate her and Pearl from the larger culture.

Then there's the allusion to Adam and Eve, or rather Dimmesdale and Hester, being punished by exclusion from their environment.  Hester is literally ostracized; Dimmesdale suffers from guilt and is frequently described as "otherworldly;"  his sufferings keep him apart from the community, and infuriatingly keep the villagers thinking of his piety in his suffering! But Pearl, innocent, can remain in the Garden, the plaything of angels.  This brief description is actually a fascinating theme inversion -- much of the time in the book, the wilderness is considered to be the dwelling place of evil, the town, where the pious live; in this instance, the Garden is the abode of good and the Angels, and those driven out live among the evil and mortal.
