Number of words: 328 | Number of pages: 2.... terminated her existence. The place that she
goes is to earth, yet it is different than the earth mortals know so
different that it is indescribable, by all except the writer, who
definitely knows how to write. If I gave away the ending it would be
devastating to those who have not read it. Even when I have told a short
summery of the story, for those who have not read it would be missing a
great book if they neglected to get a hold of it and read it. It is very
deeply moving, especially if it has been read more than once. .....

Fanon's Three Stages Related To The Indigenous People Of Chiapas
Number of words: 1162 | Number of pages: 5.... Fanon
states "The effect consciously sought by colonialism was to drive into the
natives' heads the idea that if the settlers were to leave, they would at once
fall back into barbarism, degradation, and bestiality."(Fanon 211) The
colonizers, believing the natives were savages that needed enlightenment, forced
European culture upon them. The Europeans believed that to assimilate the
natives to European culture was to help them progress. Therefore, to return to
the old ways would have been regressing. When the natives objected to the
forced assimilation, the colonizers smothered the rebellious efforts with

dirty secretlike Hester was; he was embraced by it. However, his sin
didtake it's toll. He was disfigured horribly and became atwisted man,
scarred by sin. He also was robbed of thepleasure of destroying Dimmesdale
which was his reason forliving. He died shortly after Dimmesdale.

pseudo-saint. At first, the town shunned her as a sinner. However,after
they saw that she was good, and her .....

the scarlet letter. But she refused, and so her path was set.

She, Pearl, and Dimmsdale are together for the first time, “...the three
formed an electric chain” as if they were always meant to be together if
something, or someone, had not gotten in their way (140). But it is here
that Hester finally realizes the damage which hiding Chillingworth's

enemy...continually at his side, under the semblance of a friend and
helper...” when in truth he was tormenting Dimmsdale at every opportunity .....

Number of words: 716 | Number of pages: 3.... interpretation of this theory.
There are two possible translations of Higgins' philosophy. It can be
viewed as treating everyone the same all of the time or treating everyone
equally at a particular time.

Higgins wanders aimlessly around the parlor, irrationally moving from chair to
chair, highly unlike the calm Profe .....
