On the other hand, God's treatment of Hester for her sin was quite different than just a physical token: he gave Hester the punishment of a very unique child which she named Pearl. This punishment handed down from God was a constant mental and physical reminder to Hester of what she had done wrong, and she could not escape it 'Thou art not my child! Thou art no Pearl on mine!' (pg.99) At times Hester would get frustrated. In this aspect, Pearl symbolized God's way of punishing Hester for adultery.

The Blue Hotel
Words: 656 - Pages: 3.... hotel and the main points of the story happen there. All of the violent confrontations happen in the hotel or around its grounds. The main fight between the Swede and Johnny is outside in the bitter cold in the street. The hotel could possibly change the characters thinking and cause them to be really weird. This is shown when Scully shows the Swede pictures of his dead family (269). What person in their “right” mind would show someone who thinks they are going to be killed a picture of someone who was killed? These examples show how the settings are more important then the characters themselves. The characters are very odd in this sto .....

1984: Socialism, Fascism, Or Communism
Words: 298 - Pages: 2.... be compared to a life dominated by Socialism, Fascism, or Communism.
Socialism demands state ownership and control of the basic means of production and distribution of wealth. Both of these are going on in the book. The Inner Party controls business, and I don’t think that anyone can have private profits.
