... stand on the scaffold in the middle of the market place, with an A on her chest. Dimmesdale has not told a single person that he is the adulterer. He sits in the balcony with the Governor, a judge, a general, and the rest of the ministers, watching the display, without any expression or emotion. Hester and Pearl go to the Governor’s home to deliver a pair of gloves, but more importantly to inquire about the possibility of the government taking away her child. Also there with Governor Bellingham are Pastor Wilson, Reverend Dimmesdale and Roger Chillingworth. After Mr. Wilson asks Pearl a few questions, the Governor decides that Hester is unfit as a mother and t ...

... odd physical deformities. Enoch is driven by two distinct elements: his instincts and his desire to be accepted into civilization. These two factors attribute most to his defects. His intuition causes him to believe that his blood is wise and can lead his life. By bestowing his trust in his blood, he often takes things too literally. For instance, Hazel Motes preaches that his religion desperately needs a new Jesus, and Enoch, perceiving this Jesus to be an actual being, follows his instincts and brings Hazel a three-foot shrunken man whom he honestly believes to be the savior. Before actually donating the messiah to Hazel, Enoch's blood directs him to ...

... and states, "Aviation had drawings and most specifications of a 15 ton ship called the X-15B, a winged craft that would be launched by three enormous rockets each with 415,000 pounds of thrust whereupon the ships two pilots would take over with the X-15B’s own 75,000 pound engine, make three or more orbits around the earth, reenter the atmosphere and land on a dry lake bed at Edwards like any other pilot in the X series." This sentence shows many technical aspects about the craft. The sentence did not seem overloaded with details because they are spaced out. Tom Wolfe’s writing helps the reader better understand the technical aspects. Another device ...

... they do. His thoughts begin to make sense and he expresses many reasonable ideas, which is a big development in the character. The Underground Man seems to be very sarcastic when talking about why people do bad things. If everyone were enlightened and knew their real normal interests then they would become noble and good. His only advantage would be in the good. The only reason he does bad things is because he does not know his own interests. The Underground Man does not really believe that though. He thinks only innocent, naïve people believe it is that easy. In reality, man knows his interests but continues to pursue other things. The Underground Ma ...

... by the Puritan society. The Scarlet Letter is a book that contains and utilizes symbols within its characters and its setting. One very important symbol and character was Pearl Prynne, the daughter of the adulteress. Throughout the story Pearl is shown looking at or playing with the scarlet letter on her mother's bosom so as to mock her. "... Pearl took some eelgrass and imitated, as best she could, on her own bosom, the decoration with which she was so familiar on her mother's - a letter - the letter "A"... (Hawthorne 174) Later in the story Pearl refuses to acknowledge her mother because of the fact that she is not wearing the scarlet letter. "Seen in the bro ...

... look people in the eye. It is this need which was Gregor’s motivation for trudging on through a job which he despises. He is like a bottom-feeder for other people’s love and respect. He maintains a spark of real intimacy for his sister, which later surfaces when he hears her playing the violin to the guests. At that moment he realizes what he has been starving for as he plays out in his mind the fantasy of keeping her in his room, having her play to him, kissing her, and telling her his plans of sending her to a music school. This gaining of Grete’s love and appreciation is the reward Gregor feels he has earned through his suffering. When he h ...

... he turns it on his finger. He believed that each man would act in the same manor. They would both break into houses unseen, and help themselves to whatever they wanted. The just man would no longer feel the need to be just. He would have two lifestyles one, being just in front of the eyes of the society and two being the unjust man invisible unable to get caught. Glaucon say this proves that people are just only because they find it necessary. Adeimantus another philosopher and Socrates elder brother brought up the fact that we should take a look at the kinds of things people actually say when they get praised justice and condemn injustice. Adeim ...

... and correct what he had done. The only problem was that he didn't. Victor Frankenstein used science to help him build a "monster", but when his experiment failed, he wouldn't take responsibility for his creation. Science is about understanding nature. It incorporates all things around us and attempts to look at every hair, muscle and movement of an object to find out everything about it. Science is also about adding on to what already exists; this was a problem. When Dr. Frankenstein decided to introduce a new being into the world, he didn't have to consult anyone, answer any questions or think into the future. With no monitoring, one scientist not only caused four ...
