.... that he had been perceived as.Though thoughtful and honest, Dimmsdale did not have the restraint as thought. He in fact, was the father of Hester Prynne’s illegitimate daughter Pearl. Rather than having to face the public damnation as well as the detriment to his place within society, Dimmsdale choose to conceal his own guilt, allowing Hester to take the shame and scrutiny alone. Though it may seem that Dimmsdale is cold hearted, in fact the opposite is true. While it is true that Dimmsdale refused to publicly announce his sin, withholding it within himself turned out to be much more punishment than any other could have g .....

.... powers of the devil. Young Goodman Brown plays the middle man within the story. He is married to a beautiful wife and is urged to become bad in the hellish forest. He also finds that his religion teacher, Goody Cloyse, and the church minister, Deacon Gookin, was in this forest. Young Goodman Brown faces an internal conflict with good and evil. Hawthorne writes, "With Heaven above, and Faith below, I will yet stand firm against the devil" lets you know that Young Goodman Brown is strongly against evil (247). Also within the story Hawthorne writes, "My Faith is gone, there is no good on earth, and sin is but a name. Come .....

.... about these situations and we are appalled. Even if he or she is guilty, the citizens of this country cannot stand for this kind of punishment. This type of punishment is believed to be barbaric. We are civilized and mature, we are able to correct these criminals with other non-violent processes. "We now practice a more enlightened, more humane way of disciplining wrongdoers: We lock them up in cages." Jacoby says "Imprisonment has become our penalty of choice for almost every offense in the criminal code." Yes, why is that? Can living in a barred cell in a correctional institute actually discipline someone? Many believe .....

.... many people think of an idea of love that is perfect, many would say that women of purity and beauty would be the perfect woman. Daniel states this thought when he says "Chastity and Beauty, which were deadly foes." Here Daniel says that his mistress is pure, innocent, and beautiful. He is asking the reader to find a woman that perfect. There also seems to be reference to the divine in this line. Daniel is possibly comparing his mistress to the Virgin Mary. This would be the ultimate example of divinity. He is speaking of someone that is worthy enough and pure enough to have God's only child and being pure. To Daniel this .....

.... were loosing the meaning of life. His ideas relate closely to those of Buddha, Plato, and Aristotle in believing that, “self-mastery was the key to transcending the confusion of modern thought. “ (Par. 4) being in touch with one’s self, according to Nietzsche, was the greatest quality one could posses. Nietzsche believed that in order to achieve this a person had to obtain a balance of two parts of his mind, Apollonianism and Dionysianism. Apollonian intellectuality is very clear, calm, and full of reason. Dionysian passion, on the other hand, is full of obscurity, disorder, irrational behavior, and even hysteria. In ancie .....

.... communicating. The only person in society that begins to understand her, Robert, eventually decides that he must remain a member of society instead of staying with her. He says that "you [Edna] were not free; you were Leonce Pontellier's wife" and that "[Robert] was demented, dreaming of wild, impossible things...[such as] men who had set their wives free" (108). Robert does not want to do something wild and unacceptable to society. In a situation parallel to that of Edna's, the only bird that understands the parrot is the mockingbird (Reisz) that "[is] whistling its fluty notes upon the breeze with maddening persistence .....

.... was transporting weapons or bomb making materials to the enemy, the sub could ratio to US forces and take over the ship. One very brave commander in the war was Norman G. Bessac. He commanded the USS Gudgeon, which was an old diesel engined submarine straight into enemy territory. The Gudgeon was caught and pounded by enemy subs. One of the very important subs in the war was the Cochino. It monitored the development of the atomic bomb that the soviets were making. Unfortunately the Cochino crashed into the Tusk and set the after-battery on fire. This eventually caused the end of Cochino. Nine days after the Cochino sank t .....

.... The use of diction is also vital to the development of the characters in Lord of the Flies. The passage opens with Ralph “smudging the sweat from his face with a dirty forearm.” This conveys to the reader an exhausted boy who is at wit’s end. The words “smudging,” “sweat,” and “dirty,” connote savagery, and they show Ralph’s animalistic characteristics coming out. He has changed from a polished, civilized boy to a dirty savage since the arrival on the island. Ralph also runs around the fire “holding up his hair” when he realizes that most of the boys have joined Jack. This reference to hair shows the .....

.... who symbolize her own father, is presented as an unaffectionate father and husband who saw her wife "as immovable to him as one of the rocks in his pasture-land, bound to the earth with generations of blackberry vines (244)." This quote reflects the idea that "father" saw mother as simply an object, like a horse, plow, or grain of wheat; in general, to him, she was as much a part of the farm as any of these objects. She was not his dear wife whom he adored and loved. "Mother" was the person who fed him and kept the house tidy. In the opening of the story, "Father" refuses to tell mother what he is building. He tells her to "tend t .....

.... tale taken place at a funeral, the heavy feeling of ending would have destroyed the symbolism of new beginnings. Ending of life, of happiness, of everything. If this had happened, then the fact that he rose the next day would not have been as significant. Therefore, the wedding is a very important symbol throughout the poem. The albatross is another significant symbol throughout the poem. It first appears in the first section of the poem, and it is a symbol of good omen for the sailors. The albatross is a white bird, which is probably the reason why many Christians of the time saw it as a holy symbol, which made it a good ome .....
