.... contains many elements of a strong, independent feminist character. However, the people in Medallion do not see in a positive light. When she returns to Medallion as an adult is seen as evil and regarded with much fear. The reason outcast from the community is specifically due to the fact that she is a woman who refuses to contain herself in the social norms set up for the town. She refuses to marry and frequently sleeps around. The characters that exist around serve as a point to compare the different ways the community treats those who are different. Specifically the way the characters, Shadrack and Hannah are treated by the community can be compared to the way th ....

.... wrote a play, which was not well received by the first audiences to witness it, but none the less is now recognized as one the finest pieces of literature written by an American. Hawthorne's the Scarlet Letter was written in the eighteen hundreds, with no other purpose but for Hawthorne to write a novel. Hawthorne perhaps chose this dark subject to convey his contempt for Puritanism. He was a man preoccupied with the hidden sin which is illustrated in not only the Scarlet Letter, but also in The Minister's Black Veil. One might even say that Hawthorne's ancestry (Hathorne) is what he might consider his own "Pearl", and this is why he changed his name. Like M ....

.... to this is that the majority can cause great harm; therefore we should care what they think. Socrates further goes on to say the majority acts haphazardly; therefore, they cannot do great good or great harm (Plato 45). Crito says that "the opinion of the many" would judge us wrong if we didn't help you (and anyone in your position would agree that you ought to escape). Socrates notes that some opinion is right and some opinion is wrong. It is not simply a matter of mere opinion, but of correct opinion. The authority in this case is the actual truth of the matter. Socrates introduces a distinction between true opinion and false opinion. And the path to the latter is throu ....

.... consider me - perhaps so - a pessimist. This quote signifys that he is not a person that would bring his job home. For instance, if a doctor had to work on a cadaver, he wouldn't bring home the cadaver and work on it, he would leave it at the hospital, as is in the laughers situation. Finally, he only likes to lzugh on the job, but otherwise he doesn't have the deire to laugh in other ways. The laugher's married life is not like any others. Boll writes " During the first years of our married liek my wife would often say too me " Do Laugh !"" This quote show that his wife never heard his real life. She had always heard his " fake " laugh. She is telling him to laug ....

.... Falstaff - an extremely serious historical play. His grotesque bodily features and his constant yearn for sack tends to add to the comedy of his constant lies and allusions. Schlegel states, "His contemptible qualities are not disguised: old, lecherous, dissolute; corpulent beyond measure; constantly in debt and unscrupulous in the choice of means for procuring money; a cowardly soldier, and a lying braggart; a flatterer to the face, and a satirist behind the backs of his friends; - and yet we are never disgusted with him." (cited in Hemingway 418) Falstaff's underlying purpose of the play is to act as a father figure to Hal, Henry IV. So, how does a man of such a persona ....

.... George, they cannot do without each other. Which brings me on to Georges character. He is a small, skinny, quick and clever sort of guy, who leads Lennie around by the nose. He makes it look like he doesn’t need Lennie, but he does, to make him feel secure he needs Lennie. Anyway, where was I ? Oh that’s right, they go from place to place, to ranch to ranch, making a bit of money here and a bit of money there. Their one lifelong dream is to one day make enough money, to get a ranch of their own. So they one day come across a ranch where they plan to work, and work they do and this is where the story begins. They meet lots of people in this ranch, friends, nobod ....

.... is a scar of an “A” on his chest. You may be wondering why an “A”. Well, as you may recall, when Hester Prynne was commited as an adultress they made her wear the letter “A” on the chest area of her clothing. So, Arthur Dimmesdale must have felt so bad that he didn’t confess to being the mand that Hester Prynne had an affair with, that his psylogical state of mind produced the “A” on his chest. You may often find Mr. Dimmesdale with his hand over his chest. This may be because of the “A” on his chest, who knows? Or maybe it is because his soul has been injured and he feels pain from this. Some good has ....

.... that Salinger portrays so accurately in his novel is one with which most teenagers and readers, at one time or another, could identify. The Catcher in the Rye also contains universal themes that, for teenagers about to shift into adulthood, help young adults better understand the world and other people. Although it does contain abusive language and sexual connotations, The Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger should not be censored in high schools because it provides insightful information and relevance to the life of young adults through its realistic situations and themes of acceptance and materialism. The reader can relate to the realistic situations, such as the scene ....
