.... and whose harvest is a little Pearl. Finally, as things unfold we learn that the Puritans are not all bad. Potentially they are indeed a diverse community, comprising not only dogmatists and invaders, but ecumenicals, free-thinkers, Quakers, antinomians, and former members of the Merry-Mount colony. So the mood is hopeful as the story draws to a close. The community survives, and with it, presumably, the prospects for the great experiment. Prospectively, too, the experiment moves outward across the continent, where the Dimmesdale family, riding off together into the sunset, g .....

.... and deceiving characters that add an intangible mystery. In “Rustler’s Rhapsody”, Miss Tracy and the C.B.’s daughter are the only female characters. They both portray the stereotype of incipit debutantes who are instantly attracted to the handsome hero. The C.B.’s daughter is an inept character who gets dragged across the desert by her horse “Wildfire”, only to be saved by Rex O’ Herolan. In that particular scene, she attempts to seduce Rex by flirting and engaging in small talk about a blanket. Miss Tracy, the town pros .....

.... and he kept lying. He tried and tried to be the best salesman, to die, and have the death of a salesman, but in the end, it all backfired on him, everything was the opposite of what he strived for. He started going crazy, and then he lost it. He started to have his own conversations with people that were not with him; people that were in his mind. He had a imaginary girlfriend and many other friends that he would talk to. He put most of his time into the people in his head, that he forgot about reality, and went on a voyage with one of the people in his mind. That .....

.... on this bush are unlike any others and extremely exquisite. The two plants share the trait of “forbidden,” but in different ways. The fruit on the tree in Genesis was forbidden simply because that was the way God made it. The plant in Rappaccini's garden was forbidden because it was poisonous. The only people immune to the poison of this plant were Beatrice and Dr. Rappaccini. In Hawthorne's story, a parallel between Giovanni and Adam is established. Both are young men, and each was tempted by a woman. Giovanni in Hawthorne's story was lured into the garden by Beatrice; h .....

.... in the woods. As one of them falls sick, rumors start to fly that there is witchcraft going on in the woods, and that the sick girl is bewitched. Once the girls talk to each other, they become more and more frightened of being accused as witches, so Abigail starts accusing others of practicing witchcraft. The other girls all join in so that the blame will not be placed on them. In , Abigail starts the accusations by saying, "I go back to Jesus; I kiss his hand. I saw Sarah Good with the Devil! I saw Goody Osburn with the Devil! I saw Bridget Bishop with the Devil!" Another g .....

.... became Tolstoy's target for illusion of reality. When they went to Ivan's funeral, they thought that they “ should” or “have to” go and comfort the widow. Their real reasoning behind everything was to see who would take Ivan's position at work. Another example of illusion of reality is when Ivan is lying down in excruciating pain and his wife, daughter, and son-in-law enter. Ivan sits and watches as they ignore the pain he is enduring to argue about something as petty as opera glasses. This seemed true to life because people cannot address a situation as big as death, so .....

.... of this promise that he made to himself. There is a tremendous irony to this promise because when Goodman Brown comes back at dawn; he can no longer look at his wife with the same faith he had before. When Goodman Brown finally meets with the Devil, he declares that the reason he was late was because "Faith kept me back awhile." This statement has a double meaning because his wife physically prevented him from being on time for his meeting with the devil, but his faith to God i psychologically delayed his meeting with the devil. The Devil had with him a staff .....
