.... creates a feeling of dismay and hostility within the people of Boston. They are not only shocked that she has done such a thing, but also because she won't reveal the name of the father of the child. Although the usual penalty for adultery is death, the Puritan magistrates have decided to be merciful to her declaring that Hester's punishment will be to stand for several hours on the scaffold, in full view of everyone. In this "powerful but painful story," (Chorley 184) Hester realizes her sin, and acknowledges that she must pay the price for her crimes. She might, Hawtho .....

.... great big blue things with timidities inside. O gruesome life, how I moaned and pleaded, and then I got mad and realized I was pleading with a dumb little Mexican wench and I told her so” (p. 80) This quote makes clear Sal’s intentions with this woman, and also the fact that he is somewhat racist. Then when Sal gets a job working in the fields with Terry, it’s as if he views it all as a camping trip, or even an experiment, to possibly further himself spiritually. “There was a bed, a stove, and a cracked mirror hanging from a pole. It was delightful" ( .....

.... others and retained his civilized behaviour. But his experiences on the island gave him a more realistic understanding of the cruelty possessed by some people. The ordeals of the three boys on the island made them more aware of the evil inside themselves and in some cases, made the false politeness that had clothed them dissipate. However, the changes experienced by one boy differed from those endured by another. This is attributable to the physical and mental dissimilarities between them. Jack was first described with an ugly sense of cruelty that made him naturally unlike .....

.... went out at all. The tax notice was enclosed, without comment." (189). Miss Emily was convinced that she had no taxes in Jefferson because before the Civil War the South didn't have to pay taxes and since her father had made a contribution to the town of a generous amount, Colonel Sartoris, mayor at that time had remitted her taxes, she felt that that promise or rather gift still stood good.

.... for a trip around the world. Throughout the entire novel the reader is informed of all the peculiar habits of Fogg that Passepartout had to support. My least favorite character is Fix the detective. He followed Fogg around the globe, he missed arresting him in India and Hong Kong through incompetence, and as soon as they arrived back in London, he did arrest Fogg but erroneously. The main conflict of the novel was time. Time caused a lot of pressure on Fogg; he had to get back to London on time or he would lose the money he wagered. Mr.Fogg and Passepartout were confronted .....

.... Yet, Nanny had been impregnated under the circumstances of being a slave and this was not the case for Janie. Nanny stated that “black women were the mules of the world”, but she didn't want Janie to be a mule. She wanted to see Janie in a secure situation before she died, and Logan Killicks could provide that. Janie did not want to marry Logan, but she did so because Nanny told her “that she would eventually come to love him.” Ironically, Logan wanted to force Janie into the servitude that Nanny feared. Also, he was disappointed that Janie never r .....

.... to either East Egg or West Egg, his opinion did not give any advantages on either side. This made the story more interesting for readers. Second, the advantage for Nick to be the narrator of the story is he was Daisy Buchanan's cousin. Daisy was the only woman who was the protagonist's, Jay Gatsby's, love. Because Nick hadn't seen Daisy for a long time, he brought up the questions about the relationship between Daisy and her husband, Tom Buchanan. This let all the readers realize that Tom had a woman outside besides Daisy. Also, Daisy told Nick almost everything: her s .....

.... or Author's. This is first evident in the fact that he married Hester knowing she would never love him and yet he made her marry him anyway. He admits this while talking to her in the jail cell. "Mine was the first wrong, when I betrayed thy budding youth into a false and unnatural relation with my decay." His second sin is allowing himself to become obsessed with vengeance against Dimmesdale]. "But, as he proceeded, a terrible fascination, a kind of fierce, though still calm, necessity seized the old man within its gripe, and never set him free again unti .....
