.... too, enjoyed - that the very timbers were oozy, as with the moisture of a heart." (Hawthorne 27). Hawthorne turns the house into a symbol of the collection of all the hearts that were darkened by the house. "It was itself like a great human heart, with a life of its own, and full of rich and somber reminiscences" (Hawthorne 27). Evert Augustus Duyckinck agrees that "The chief perhaps, of the dramatis personae, is the house itself. From its turrets to its kitchen, in every nook and recess without and within, it is alive and vital." (Hawthorne 352) Duyckinck feels that the house is meant to be used as a symbol of an actual c .....

.... so Jem made a foundation out of dirt, and then covered it with what snow they had. One could interpret this in two different ways. First of all, the creation of the snowman by Jem can be seen as being symbolic of Jem trying to cover up the black man and showing that he is the same as the white man, that all human beings are virtually the same. Approval of these views is shown by Atticus when he tells Jem, "I didn't know how you were going to do it, but from now on I'll never worry about what'll become of you, son, you'll always have an idea." The fire that night that engulfed Miss Maudie Atkinson's house can be seen as the prej .....

.... hell. This was the first sign of her turning into her mother, and Maggie knew it. This caused her to begin losing hope, and then when Pete turned his back on her she lost all hope. With no hope, the environment forced her to what she set out not to become, a prostitute. Here Maggie could not come over the adversities and problems her environment forced on her, thus proving that she was weak and had no control, but was destined at birth to follow nature’s cycle for individuals in her environment that her mother had also followed. Another incident in which the moral convention of naturalism is shown is when Pete turns his back on .....

.... Hooper becomes a man apart, isolated from love and sympathy, suspected and even feared by his congregation"(Minister's Black Veil, 228). Goodman Brown suffers the same fate because he also has a feeling of superiority over the rest of the village. He attains this feeling after he sees all the people that he though were good and pure participating in satanic rituals in the forest. He looses all faith in the community and feels as though he is above them because he was able to resist the devil. The lack or trust trusting that Goodman Brown had separated him from the community because he was a strong Puritan and felt as though he c .....

.... allows him to lead and organize their religious meetings which are held in his home as well. One can see how Tom’s faith allows him to be a social leader among the slaves. Stowe says on page 35 that, Uncle Tom was a sort of patriarch in religious matters, in the neighborhood. Having, naturally, an organization in which morale was strongly predominant together with a greater breadth and cultivation of mind that obtained among his companions, he was looked up to with great respect, as a sort of minister among them. Uncle Tom disallowed his recognition as an authoritative figure to become egocentric. Tom prayed with, .....

.... most suspenseful and mysterious parts of the book was when the characters were thrown into a big room inside the submarine that seemed to have no doors. At this point in the book the characters have no idea what was going on, neither does the reader. The only thing that happens during the time in this room is a man comes in and gives them some food, minutes later they all fell asleep. Why where they put to sleep, where is this room that seems to have no doors? This is just one of the hundreds of questions going through your head during these couple chapters of the book. When they wake up all the lights in the room ar .....

.... You could see this because he was aware of the situation around him whereas Ralph enjoyed the freedom. It was Piggy's idea to write down all of the survivors' names and he knew where to put the hole in the conch and what it could be used for. Piggy is also clever in which when he is asked to do something physical, whether it would be exercise or hard labour, he says he cannot do it because of his asthma, but most people could see that he is lying. An example of this is when he was afraid to swim. “Piggy tip-toed down the sandy side of the pool, and sat there up to his neck in water smiling proudly at Ralph. ‘ Aren't yo .....

.... half of human's actions, and man's will control the other half. Virtue is the best defense for fortune, and virtue must be used in order to keep fortune in check. The prince must take advantage of situations based solely on if it is best for the state. He should choose his decisions based on contemporary and historical examples. A prince cannot consider whether his acts are moral or immoral, and he instead must act in an unbiased manner for the state. Also, it does not matter how the state achieves its goals, as long as these goals are achieved. Finally, regardless of the personal morality involved, the prince should be .....
