Her birthday is only five days apart from mine, that is a weird
coincidence.
From September 19 through September 25 she goes on about how nothing

committing adultery.
In chapter five Hester's attitudes are the same but Hawthorne shows
that these attitudes are not stable and are susceptible to change. Hester
moves to a cottage on the outskirts of Boston, but because her sentence
does not restrict her to the limits of the Puritan settlement, Hester could
return to Europe to start over. She decides to stay because she makes
herself believe that the town "has been the scene of her guilt, and here
should be the scene of her earthly punishment" (84). This belief gives the
impression that she views her action as a sin and feel .....

her, but you must leave it to me about
asking for help."

Words: 1402 - Pages: 6.... name that means purchased at a great price. Hester is also left out in the social point of view. All of the citizens of Boston look down and condemn her for the sin she committed. Although Hester is clearly a Puritan, she does fully acknowledge her sin and boldly displays it to the world. She dresses Pearl in scarlet as a second symbol, and wears the scarlet A long after she could have removed it. All these things are proof that she was trying to hide nothing. Hester’s salvation lies in truth.
Adultery also led to Hester having psychological consequences. She experienced much shame and guilt. As one of her punishments for h .....

Native Son
Words: 1688 - Pages: 7.... after the bones were located, Bigger basically announced his guilt to all of Chicago. The fact that he is black will not help either. That just makes him that much worse and that much guiltier. The white society already has him condemned and sentenced for life. What he did certainly was wrong, but it was accidental. He cannot run like this, because running makes him look worse. Right now he is trapped by his own inner fears and really has no other choice but to continue running until he gets caught. Nobody will spare him any mercy now. Actually, had he admitted right away to killing Mary, and had he not burned her, he probably wouldn’t .....

Hemingways Hills Like White El
Words: 922 - Pages: 4.... only thing I really noticed the first time I read the story was the tension between the two main characters throughout the story. In the first dialogue, there seems to be some tension between Jig and the American man. They speak to each other in short sentences and Jig starts getting sarcastic with her male companion (Hemingway doesn’t state whether they are married) when he says that he’s never seen white elephants. At first impression, seems like the lady is the antagonist. For most of the beginning of the story all they talk about is drinks. At one point Jig says “That’s all we do, isn’t it—look .....
