... how many children's mothers will hang? Or how much pain the families of the victims will have to endur? I'm telling you as a friend and a villager, Please stop all these murders! These people do not have to die. I know that in some of these cases the evidence was leading towards witch craft, and I agree that those girls were very believable, but if you would have looked very closely, you could tell it was staged. Did you even notice that whenever Abby would collapse or scream that the other girls would start to scream shortly after? For instance, do you remember when we had just convicted Mr. Proctor of trying to overthrow the court, that after Elizabeth had given her confession, ...

... at Richard’s school had asked Richard to give a speech to a large audience of white and black people, Richard refused to read the principal’s prepared speech.

Richard’s relatives never understood Richard and because of this he was alienated from his family and his own people. Shorty is the young black b ...

... pretty, and nice. More often than not, she shows her intelligence and free thought, a trait of the Romantics. One of Pearl's favorite activities is playing with flowers and trees. (The reader will recall that anything affiliated with the forest was evil to Puritans. To Hawthorne, however, the forest was beautiful and natural.) "And she was gentler here [the forest] than in the grassy-margined streets of the settlement, or in her mother's cottage. The flowers appeared to know it" (194) Pearl fit in with natural things. Also, Pearl is always effervescent and joyous, which is definitely a negative to the Puritans. Pearl is a virtual shouting match between the Puritanical views and the R ...

... had some clarification for it. "Everything connected with Caraolas is neck deep in politics. I am certain that the British have their reasons. I don't wish to take sides" (,pg51) Kitty is confused, and most likely doesn't understand anything at this point, so she decides to go along with the stupidity of the British. The first slight change that we see in Kitty's outlook is the discovery of Karen Hanson-Clement. Kitty was pleasantly surprised by the laughter that seemed to be around whenever Karen was near the children. Kitty was immediately hit with Karen's love and sense of caring. The loss of a daughter had been too much for Kitty, and seeing Karen seemed to soothe this loss. Was this a ...

... it is seen how Mrs. Behn constructs the hero with noble qualities. The author also retells stories of Oroonoko’s heroism. She tells tales of him killing lions with bare hands, and of hunting and killing the lion which terrorized the community. She also portrays Oroonoko’s ending in the most noble of lights, in that all that he did was for love. “Perhaps (said he) she {Imoinda} may be first ravished by every Brute; expos’d first to their nasty Lusts and then a shameful Death” (pg. 71). She even portrays his selfish acts of attempting to seek revenge as noble, while others might interpret them as foolish. “…(however horrid it appeared to us all) when we heard his Reasons we thought ...

... in life on Janie. The conflict between Janie's sacred view of marriage and Nanny's wish for her to marry for stability and position is a good illustration of just how deep the respect and trust runs. Janie has a very romantic notion of what marriage should be. "She saw a dust-bearing bee sink into the sanctum of a bloom; the thousand sister-calyxes arch to meet the loveembrace . . . so this was a marriage," is how the narrator describes it (p.24). Nanny's idea of a good husband is someone who has some standing in the community, someone who will get Janie to that "higher ground." Nanny wants Janie to marry Logan Killicks, but according to Janie "he look like some ole skull- head in ...

... and wanton behaviour represent Fizgarald's depiction of the corrupt American Dream. Another force of corruption responsible for Gatsby's fate is his obsession with a woman of Daisy's nature. Determined to marry her after returning from the war, he is blind to her shallow, cowardly nature. He is unable to see the corruptiion whick lies beyond her physical beauty, charming manner and playful banter. That she is incapable of leaving her brutal husband, Tom, of commiting herself to Gatsby despite his sacrifices, escapes him. As Nick observes, Gatsby's expectation is absuredly simple:"He only wanted her to tell him [Tom] that she never loved him." (pg.91) DAisy is not worthy of the pedesta ...

... new unit, she dubs herself F. Jasmine so that she and the wedding couple will all have names beginning with the letters J and a. Her positive thinking induces a euphoria which contributes to a rejection of the old feeling that "the old Frankie had no we to claim.... Now all this was suddenly over with and changed. There was her brother and the bride, and it was as though when first she saw them something she had known inside of her: They are the we of me." Being a member of the wedding will, she feels, connect her irrevocably to her brother and his wife. Typical of many teenagers, she felt that in order to be someone she has to be a part of an intact, existing group, that is, Jarvis ...
