... what she must face. Many would have fled Boston, and sought a place where no one knew of her great sin. Hester chose to stay though, which showed a lot of strength and integrity. Any woman with enough nerve to hold up against a town which despised her very existence, and to stay in a place where her daughter is referred to as a "devil child," either has some sort of psychological problem, or is a very tough woman. The second meaning that the letter "A" took was "able." The townspeople who once condemned her now believed her scarlet "A" to stand for her ability to create beautiful needlework and for her unselfish assistance to the poor and sick. "The letter was th ...
... that does not exist. The speaker tells the mistress how long his love will grow, and how vast it will become. He changes his tone after this stanza in order to effectively explain why he is unable to love her in such a manner: "But at my back I always hear / Time's wingéd chariot hurrying near; / And yonder all before us lie / Deserts of vast eternity" (21-24). This is another paradoxical quote that the speaker utilizes to effectively develop appreciation for this poem. The speaker argues that the mistress should not waste her youth like those before who are unable to taste new experiences because they are now dead. In the second stanza, the speaker utilizes p ...
... He continues to tell the animals that the their labor is stolen by man, who benefits alone. The animals in return get near nothing, just enough to keep them away from starvation. Old Major gave many speeches to the farm animals about hope and the future. He is the main animal who got the rebellion started even though he died before it actually began. Old Major's role compares to Lenin and Marx whose ideas would spark the communist revolution. Lenin became the leader and teacher of the working class in Russia, and their determination to struggle against capitalism. Like Old Major, Lenin and Marx wrote essays and gave speeches to the working class poor. The ...
... The video creates the scene of the island in merely one day, while there are hints in the book that it occurred for more than a day, possibly even two. Odysseus’ blinding of Polyphemus, a well-devised plan in order to escape from the cave, differs the most between book and movie. Very important is the fact that when Polymephus’ cries attracted the attention of the other Cyclops, he responded that "Nobody" was responsible for what had happened. This remark alone saved the lives of the men in the cave, as the Cyclops assumed that Polyphemus was speaking about one of the gods, and merely wandered off. This scene of the movie does not have him speaking to ...

... war hero and a patriot that dies in battle but in all fact this man never existed. The final way the party controls the lives of the people is through a process called vaporization. Vaporization is the process by which every record of everything you have ever accomplished is wiped out and your one-time existence is forever forgotten. The Invasion of Privacy is also used to control people. Devices called Telescreens are setup everywhere for the use of your entertainment and the party’s. They are objects that not only allow you to watch them and hear them like a television but in return you yourself are watched and heard by the party. Other ways in which pr ...
... on land and involve civilization. Jim being sold and that whole incident was almost really bad. Huck almost lost his best friend throughout the trip. “I was a thinking and Jim was real good to me.”(Mark Twain Adventures of Huckleberry Finn). Huck called up Tom and they had a scheme to get Jim back. It worked but just barely. Because of this reason, Huck is rejecting civilization. Most of these things would make any of us reject civilization, too. Huck had all the reason in the world to reject civilization. He proved that he didn’t need it. He was probably better without it. He was better without it. He was happy in the raft. He doesn’t really need money for ...
