Scarlet Letter- Judgment
Words: 783 - Pages: 3.... left, because they knew that they too had sinned in their lives. When everyone was gone but Jesus, He turned to the woman and asked if no one condemned her, she answered no, and He replied, "Then neither do I condemn you… Go now and leave your life of sin." (John 8:3-11).
The story of this woman in the bible is very similar to the story of Hester Prynne from the renowned novel The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne.

After Hester delivered her ba .....

It is also interesting to note that in actuality, more than 80% of all Muslims are not Arabs - there are more Muslims in Indonesia than in the whole Arab World!

The Picture Of Dorian Gray
Words: 343 - Pages: 2.... while it grew old, but his own face remained virtuous and appealing. Twenty years passed by, as a boyish faced devil, Dorian Gray murdered Basil. Then suffering from mental confusion, he attempted to reclaim his lost purity by demolishing the last and only piece of proof reflecting his wicked soul --- the picture. The result was that Dorian the man and his picture exchanged appearances, the man aged suddenly then died foul and wrinkled while the canvas regained its initial exquisite elegance.

Due to its massive nature the ship's draft was enormous, it stretched twenty-two feet to the bottom. The ship was so slow and long, that it required a turning radius of about one mile.
