.... a vivid scarlet, "so fantastically embroidered and illuminated upon her bosom." Hester chose red as the color of her brand of shame, to declare to the rest of the townspeople that she is prepared to acknowledge her sin, instead of denying it; she could have chosen to wear her "A" in a plain and nondistinct color, to escape the townspeople's disdain. By displaying her guilt however, she is granted the opportunity to face her punishment bravely, thus through her public humiliation, she achieves freedom from the personal guilt of not suffering enough for her crimes. Furthermore, "the scarlet letter, forthwith seemed to scorch int .....

.... but it is odd, strange, and different, which matches the theme and plot. Tolkien, like mostly every other author has one main, specific goal during the exposition of the story, which is to capture the reader's attention. In the beginning of "The Lord of the Rings," Tolkien presents events of happiness, mystery, tales of power, chase, by evil riders, battles, and strange encounters. Through this process, Tolkien has created a grasp upon the reader's attention, although, in the beginning, there is not much of a sort or understanding of the condition and the state of the tale. Later on in the story, in the "Council of Eh .....

.... In the prologue we learn that the only way the "strife" could be ended was by the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. "Doth with their death bury their parent's strife". (Romeo & Juliet, Prologue, l.8) Neither the Montagues or the Capulets would have accepted the marriage. Keeping the marriage a secret caused Romeo and Juliet to turn to other people for help. Sometimes these people gave them the wrong advice or just betrayed them. The Nurse was one of these characters who betrayed the young couple. The Nurse who was also Juliet's friend turned against her at a very crucial time. The Nurse told .....

.... Naturalism even played a huge part of Ethan’s life since he was young. First “his father got a kick, out haying, and went soft in the brain, and gave away money like Bible texts afore he died.” (pg.13). Then his “...mother got queer and dragged along for years as weak as a baby...” (pg.13). Ethan Frome never had a chance in life to make it better because every possible bad thing happened to him. The second character named Zeena had her life doomed when she started to take care of Ethan’s Mom when she got sick. After Ethan’s Mom died Zeena married Ethan and lived with him on “...that the sawmill and the arid .....

.... but the way she drank from a bottle of tequila made it evident she was no child. The narrator convinces Danny the Sweet to let her come with him to the secret meeting before the Night of the Wolf, in hopes of catching McKay's eye. The Night of the Wolf is a fight between the Pack and the Orphans, which would determine who would have control of the Avenue and the honor that goes with it. It was this night she would learn McKay would never love her. "'What I want is for you is to fall in love with me.' 'No,' said McKay. 'No?' I said. 'No. I don't go in for that,' said McKay.

.... without using their head or heart. Scientists toy with the embryos, cutting off oxygen to those predestined to become lower caste members. Those chosen to work as rocket plane engineers were in constant rotation during the embryonic phase of their life. "Doing repairs on the outside of a rocket in mid-air is a tickish job. We slacken off the circulation when they're right way up, so that they're half starved, and double the flow of surrogate when they're upside down. They learn to associate topsy-turvydom with being well-being." These procedures would be considered morally incorrect today, however, in the future the lack .....

.... 100 Black United claimed, “Anything that's going to harm any kid - white, black, Hispanic, anything - needs to be removed from required reading… We try to teach them every day not to be racists”(Simmons 1). This means then, that books that discuss racism to its fullest (fullest including the language of the period) are inappropriate for students to read. Honestly, though, how many high school students haven’t heard the word nigger? And it’s not like Twain’s usage was meant to be derogative- he was merely showing how bad racism was back then. The fact that it remains an issue today- a problem that was never quite solv .....

Lenina, the supporting role of the novel, is the most pronounced example of the ideal citizen. She adheres to the principles of the s .....

.... of many women the the town with the devil. Those women who were accused were to be tried in court for contact with the devil through witch-craft. As a God-fearing communtiy, any evidence of evil could not be denied. Because they believe that if they deny evil, then at the same time they are denying goodness, which is God. So no defense of accused peoples could be based upon evidence, simply because evil can not be seen. So any accused person must confess to it and be rehabilitated, or will be hung if they are willing to show pride in their innocence. The court in which they base the law states that "God damns all liars". Iron .....
