.... extending Pearl as a red representation of Hestor's sin. Red is employed by Hawthorne to show passion and sensuality. The sin is also represented by the letter "A" being formed in the sky by meteors, and an "A" appearing on Reverend Dimmesdale's chest. The first encounter with red is the description of a wild red rosebush growing outside the prison where Hestor was imprisoned. This is representing Hestor's pride and passion, growing in a place not fitting, similar to how Hestor's passion did not fit in with the Puritan society. As the sunlight shines through a red and yellow window in the governor's house, a red light shines throug .....

I learned about the little struggles of working American women, such as the unavailability of stockings and society's negative attitude toward .....

.... described with so much depth; there was no need to imagine the scenery or the excitement of the hospital. The healthy police officer was described as a young, witty macho cop with thirty-two pounds of attack equipment. When reading this, the vision of a man in a blue uniform with his gun and walkie-talkie enters the mind. When the man had been diagnosed with lung cancer he was described as a sixty pound skeleton being kept alive by liquid food poured down a tube. The code blues were described horrifically.

.... had began to flake. "The nearer he approached the house the more absolutely unequal Paul felt to the sight of it all; his ugly sleeping chamber, the cold bathroom with the grimy zinc tub..." His school was described with having "bare floors and naked walls". Paul's uplifting arena was either glaring up at the actors, divas, or performers at the Schenley Hotel or at the works of art at Carnegie Hall. Even though he had spent numerous days fantasizing at masterpieces and stage plays, Paul "had no desire to become an actor, any more thatn he had to become a musician.
