Your topic is,

I assume you mean: did
she get more punishment than she deserved.

Obviously,
you must first decide if you want to argue "yes" or "no."  I'll give you a
few points on each side.

"Yes" (she was overly punished):

a) Her sin took only a few minutes, but her punishment lasted a lifetime.

b) Since she was not living with her husband at the time of her relationship with , her
adultery was only technical.

c) She had to observe and
suffer the way her child, who did not sin at all, was rejected and belittled by all the other
children.

"No" (her punishment was not excessive):

a) The Puritans followed the Bible, and the Biblical punishment for adultery is death. 
By not putting Hester to death, the community was being kind and merciful.

b) Hester could have made things much easier for herself if she had identified the man who

How would I describe Phoenix Jackson's traits with support from "A Worn Path"?

I don't know if I

not above getting money out
of whites, especially when, like the hunter, they
abuse and mistreat her. She is above all
pragmatic in her
resilience.

How does Jared Diamond restate/reword Yali's question in Guns, Germs and Steel?

Ollie Kertzmann, M.A.

In ,  reframes Yali's question as:

Why did wealth and power become distributed as they now are, rather than in some other
way? For instance, why weren't Native Americans, Africans, and Aboriginal Australians the ones
who decimated, subjugated, or exterminated Europeans and Asians?

Diamond says the question asks about inequality in the modern world. He continues to
condense it further, finally asking, "Why did human development proceed at such different
rates on different continents?"

Yali's original question to Diamond was
asked in 1972 in New Guinea. Diamond describes this conversation:

All those things must have been on Yali's mind when, with yet another penetrating
glance of his flashing eyes, he asked me, Why is it that you white people developed so much
cargo and brought it to New Guinea, but we black people had little cargo of our own?

The question came up while Yali and Diamond were discussing the
rapid pace of political developments at a...

What is steampunk? Please explain

Steampunk
is a sub-genre of sciencethat includes aspects of steam-powered machinery, typical of the
industrial features of the 19th century. Therefore, the Victorian era in England and the
corresponding industrial development and western expansion in America are common historical
settings. However, steampunk tends to be more science fiction than historical in genre. For
example, the movie Wild Wild West  (1999) is set in the West in the 19th
century but the technology, still based around steam, is certainly more advanced than it would
have been during that real historical time period. Therefore, this is a steampunk film that
presents a science fiction or...

In what ways, did television during the 1950s both encourage conformity and spark desires for rebellion and change?

Much, if
not most, television in the 1950s did present a vanilla, whitewashed picture of American life in
which family settings were ideal and untroubled. Sitcoms such as Leave it to Beaver,
The Donna Reed Show, and Father Knows Best were typical. Parents
were shown as wise and forgiving, gentle and non-critical.

Though these shows
had merit on their own terms, their falseness was dangerous because it encouraged children of
that decadebaby boomersto think all of this was "normal." Under these conditions and
by these standards, real domestic life was impossibly flawed. The reality
was that parents of that time were men and women who had grown up during the Depression of the
1930s and reached adulthood then or during...

Please explain the tree scene in A Separate Peace, where Finny falls out of the tree?

The tree
scene is one of the most important events inand comes about when the boys, as part of their
secret tree jumping routine, decide to do a double-jump together.  Finny and Gene climb up
together, and Finny moves out onto the branch first.  Gene stays back, and with his hand still
on the trunk, "jounce[s] the branch.  As the branch falters, Finny glances back at Gene
briefly while all of this is happening, like he is trying to figure out why Gene wiggled the
branch, and then he falls to the ground with a terrible thud. 

The most
important aspect of this scene to consider is, of course, Gene's motivations for jiggling the
branch under Finny.  Gene's guilt will slowly eat away at him for the rest of the novel.  Before
the accident, Gene was just so sure that Finny was out to get him, trying to distract him from
his studies, so he could ruin Gene's chances to be the top student.  Then, when Finny comments
that he did not realize that Gene needed to study and thought that grades just came easy for
him, Gene realizes that Finny was not trying to undermine his studies after all.  Most readers
would think this insight would cause Gene to lighten up, but he becomes even more jealous over
Finny's innate goodness.  When they start climbing the tree, Gene's conflict, jealousy, and
resentment are in turmoil, and he spitefully jounced the branch, causing Finny to
fall.

Details about culture clash in Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe

In looking at culture
clash in Achebe's , we will focus mainly on the late portions of the novel
(from Chapter Fifteen to the novel's end). In this section of the narrative, missionaries arrive
and undertake a mission of Christian salvation and colonization. English governmental bodies are
also brought to bear in the region.

First, the whites appear as a rumor,
talked about in a "woeful story." Described as "riding an iron horse," the
first white man encountered is feared because he appears so different. Village elders in Abame
consulted their Oracle, which told them "the strange man would break their clan and spread
destruction among them." The men of Abame then killed the white man due to the Oracle's
prediction. Not long after that killing, white men arrive in Abame with guns and effectively
wipe out the village.

As evidence of culture clash, this episode presents a
stark initial conflict between two peoples with little understanding of one another (and little

Explain the difference between a positive and negative externality.

In
economic terms, an "externality" is something that has an economic effect on someone
that is beyond their control and is not the result of their actions. If the externality is
beneficial, we say that it is a positive externality. If it has a cost, then it is negative. If
one owns a restaurant in a small town and a new factory opens up there, boosting the local
economy, more people will likely come to the restaurant, and its owner will make more money. The
food, decor, and service (all of which are within the owner's control) will be the same, but
profits will be higher. This is a positive externality.

To continue the
example, imagine that, after five years of operation, the factory closes because of a decision
made at the corporate level. The owner of the restaurant, despite having made no changes, will
probably see profits drop, as people move from the town or have less money to spend on dining
out. Because the factory's decision to shut down was totally out of the restaurant owner's
control, but still costs him or her money, it is understood to be a negative
externality.

We can think of other examples of externalities related to the
imaginary factory. For example, the factory might pollute a nearby river, causing increased
health costs for residents and hurting the local sport fishing industry. These are negative
externalities. At the same time, it might provide a sizable tax base which leads to more funds
to support local schools. This is a positive externality.

Discuss the ways in which Old Major uses language to persuade his listeners in Chapter 1 of Animal Farm.

In addition to
the above answer, for each of his criticisms against man,backs it up with supporting statements.
They are not abstract declarations either, but "hit home" in a very concrete way.
Injustice rings out loud and clear when Old Major speaks about the manner in which the animals
are overworked, underfed, and even deprived of their young. For the young porkers, they will
meet their fate at the chopping block within a year. He offers an arguement difficult to
contradict.

Old Major also gives the animals the hope of another viable
option. He appeals to an ethic of fairness and solidarity absent under the "regime" of
Farmer Jones. This is communism in pure theory, not practice - given in the true Marxist spirit.
In reality, it is about as accessible as Sugercandy Mountain.

Explain the structuralist approach to analyzing a poem, in layman's terms.

Stephen Holliday

Unfortunately, structuralism is so dependent upon a background in linguistics,
semiotics, and other relatively esoteric elements that it is very difficult to explain its use
in literary criticism, but I will start by describing what structuralists do
not concern themselves with in analyzing a literary work and then move to
what structuralism attempts to accomplish.

When a structuralist critic looks
at a poem, for example, they are not looking to interpret the work as the product of the poet's
state of mind at a particular time or as a reflection of the period in which a poem was written.
Historical, social, economic, and political concerns are not important to structuralism.
Instead, a structuralist critic looks at the structure of a poem (e. g., sonnet, villanelle),
its vocabulary and sentence structure, and its use of metaphorical language. Structuralism
focuses on what is intrinsic to the work (that is, only what is within the
poem itself) and ignores extrinsic matter. Extrinsic matters...

What rights are guaranteed (protected) for US citizens?

The United
States Constitution guarantees
certain rights for all US citizens. Some of these rights were
written in to
the original body of the Constitution, and others within the first ten
amendments
to the Constitution, collectively known as the Bill of Rights. The
first right, enshrined in the
main body of the Constitution, is the notion of
habeas corpus, that courts
cannot hold or imprison
someone without evidence. Additional rights guaranteed in the Bill of
Rights
include:

• First Amendement: Congress will not establish
  an
  religion, but will allow citizens free exercise of religion. This
  amendment also guarantees
  freedom of speech, the right of peacable assembly,
  and the right to petition Congress for
  redress to right wrongs. 


• Security against unreasonable search and
  seizures: The government
  must show probable cause before searching a citizen's property or
  seizing a
  citizen's goods. 
• The fifth through eighth amendments
  guarantee
  right to timely trial by jury and many other rights for defendants
  in trials. Cruel and unusual
  punishments are prohibited.

The fourteenth amendment, passed
after the Civil War,
guarantees all citizens equal protection under the law, and thus prohibits

racial discrimination. It is the basis for many of the legal protections for the
disabled and
also for gender equality. 

In 1984, Winston secretly begins to write in the diary he is starting. Why is this action not ''illegal''? What consequences could it have?

In Part One,
Chapter One of ,begins writing in a diary that he has recently purchased.
As Winston explains, this action is not illegal since there are no laws in
Oceania. The Party erased all the laws when it took power so, in theory, nothing
is illegal. Despite this situation, Winston would be punished if someone found out about his
diary. According to Winston, he could expect to serve twenty-five years in a
forced-labor camp. This is a harsh punishment designed to deter anyone from
keeping a diary and, therefore, from expressing themselves and their feelingsor keeping a
written record.

That there are no laws in Oceania gives the impression that
the people are free to live as they choose. But as this punishment shows, this state is nothing
more than a fa§ade that gives the Party absolute control over its
citizens.

The Nature of Literature What do you think the nature of literature is?

is a
multifaceted gem. It reflects human thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. It shines a light on
ignorance and it provides relief for the weary. Literature is like an old friend. We can always
turn to the field and find just what we need in the way of escape, encouragement, and etc. Like
a true friend, literature will always be there when we seek it out.

What is the tesseract in Madeleine L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time?

The
O'Keefes are an unusually gifted family and the primary characters in by .
After their father has been away (missing) for some time, Meg and Charles Wallace plus their
friend Calvin meet some rather odd but pleasant women named Mrs. Which and Mrs. Whatsit. They
explain to the two O'Keefes that their father is trapped in some kind of darkness, and it is
imperative that they go to rescue him by tessering--time travel. And then they do it.

Meg is confused, and her brother explains that there are not four but five dimensions
in the universe. The first dimension, of course, is a line; the second is a square, the third is
a cube, and the fourth is time. The fifth dimension is a tesseract, and it is the theory of time
travel their father was studying when he disappeared.

If time is a string (a
straight line), an ant, for example, can shorten his traveling time by folding (wrinkling) the
string to shorten the traveling distance. This bending, folding, or wrinkling in time is known
as a tessaract.  

In other words, to put it into Euclid,
or old-fashioned plane geometry, a straight line is not the shortest distance between two
points. 

Virtually the entire novel involves time travel,
and none of the characters could do it if it were not for tessering, as traditional time travel
is not feasible.

What would be a good research question for an assignment about `A Streetcar Named Desire?` What would be a good research question for an assignment...

A good
research question on almost any work of

function
as a successful piece of writing -- not as a
successful expression of ideas
(which could just as easily be communicated in

memorable use of
language? A survey of different critics' opinions might

helpful in pursuing such a question.

Need to know the meaning What does the mean? There are black clouds of God's wrath now hanging directly over your heads.

While I
don't particularly disagree with any of
these posts, I would disagree that Edwards used these
metaphors strictly to
instill fear in the hearts of this congregation.  These are strong images

because that's what it takes to awaken hearts which have  been dormant and
unproductive.  While
it's true that those who have turned from Him deserve
His wrath (and those are the images we see
and hear so often in connection
with this sermon), the entire sermon is spent reminding them
that He is
holding back His wrath.  He has not released the arrow, His
open
hands are keeping us from falling into the pit. 
Storms (and weatherof all
kinds, for that matter) are common literary symbols
and would have been well understood by

What are the psychological repercussions of being ostracized? How does Shelley humanize the creature and elicits pathos from the reader, and how does...

This answer
will respond to a combination of the first two questions above. As evidenced by the behavior of
's creature, a state of feeling ostracized can lead to feelings of loneliness, rejection, and
eventually, rage. The effects of these emotions on an individual's pschological state are
usually negative, leading to behaviors that are damaging both to the ostracized individual and
others who are involved with that individual. In the case of , his rage intensifies into a
desperate and all-consuming need for revenge, and he kills 's loved ones in order to satisfy
this need and to punish his creator for bringing him into a world that rejects him so
coldly.

By showing the creature to have deep potential for emotion as well as
an incredible intellectual capacity for refinement and learning, Shelley invites the reader to
feel empathy for the creature. When Victor rejects the creature upon seeing it alive, the
creature feels confused, upset, and rejected, like a human infant who seeks much-needed
attention from his mother. A reader's reaction to Shelley's presentation of the human side of
the creature, however, depends on several factors, and not all readers will feel sympathy. The
complexity of this situation is part of what makes 's Frankenstein an
exceptional work of literature.

What happens to the foreign Jews in Sighet?

The
foreign Jews living in Sighet are the first people persecuted in Elie's small town as the Nazi
influence around their village begins to grow. The Hungarian police herd the foreign Jews into
tightly packed cattle cars and transport them to Galicia. After several months pass, Moishe the
Beadle returns to Sighet and recalls what happened to the foreign Jews who were transported from
town.

Moishe the Beadle tells Elie that once the train crossed into Polish
territory, the Gestapo ordered the prisoners to get out of the cars and begin ushering them onto
trucks, which transported them to the Galician forest, near Kolomay. In the forest, the foreign
Jews were forced to dig ditches before the Gestapo ruthlessly slaughtered them in a hail of
gunfire. Elie recalls Moishe saying,

"Without passion
or haste, they shot their prisoners, who were forced to approach the trench one by one and offer
their necks. Infants were tossed into the air and used as targets for the machine guns"
(Wiesel, 31).

Moishe miraculously survived the firing
squad and managed to return to Sighet to warn the remaining Jews of their impending
fate.

Is Big Brother good or bad for Winston and the other residents of Oceania?

While the party
maintains that it operates for the good of society,and the people of Oceania suffer at the hands
of the party on a daily basis. In the opening paragraphs of the book, for instance, we learn of
the omnipresent telescreens which monitor the movements of every party member. For Winston, this
constant invasion of privacy contributes to his rebellion against the party. For others, it
simply becomes a way of life.

Daily life under the party also illustrates its
negative effect on Winston and the citizens of Oceania. In , we find descriptions of dilapidated
and decayed accommodation: "the plaster flaked constantly from ceilings and walls, the
pipes burst in every hard frost." Basic repairs could take years to carry out and had to be
approved by a specially-appointed committee. 

The people of Oceania are also
plagued by food shortages and rations. In , we learn that the chocolate ration is to be reduced
from thirty grams to twenty. Instead of being honest with its citizens, the party chooses to
rewrite history so as to make it appear that a decline in the ration was always a possibility.
This task falls to Winston who has become jaded by the constant manipulation of
information. 

Furthermore, in , we learn that basic items, like razor blades
and shoelaces can only be obtained from the prole district, a place where party members are
forbidden to go. This has created a thriving black market but any party member who uses it risks
their liberty and life. 

Speaking out about these social evils can be a
dangerous business. The party uses extreme violence to subjugate the people of Oceania and uses
public executions as a warning to potential rebels. Nobody knows this better than Winston: In ,
he is arrested with his girlfriend, , and the pair are beaten, tortured and taken to Room 101.
The number of people he meets in his cell illustrates the normalcy of this practice: it happens
every day and nobody can do anything to stop it. It is only the love of Big Brother than can
save a condemned man like Winston but this comes at a high price: at the expense of free-thought
and free-will. 

 

What is Winston's greatest pleasure in his life in 1984?

finds the
greatest pleasure in life from his work. He works as a clerk at the Records Department in the
Ministry of Truth, and his job description entails rewriting historical documents to match the
current Party affairs and paint Big Brother in a perfect light. He dictates while a machine
called speakwrite types. After it is finished, he destroys the documents containing the now
obsolete information. Even though his job is somewhat monotonous, Winston enjoys it because it
is complex and demands a great deal of mastery to accomplish the tasks. In fact, Winston
appreciates the complexity of the job because he immerses himself in it to the point of
forgetting about his bland life. He is so good at Newspeak that on several occasions he has been
assigned to rectify articles for The Times.

Why was the Civil War considered the second American Revolution?

Viewing
the American Civil War as the Second American Revolution began during the Progressive Era in the
early 20th Century. At this time, American history was being looked at in a new light, often
through an economic lense. Many historians of the Progressive Era, looking at the corruption
that defined their times, often viewed history as clashes between economic interests. According
to them, political, social, and philosophical ideologies were merely masks for historical
figures to achieve their economic goals.

Two prominent historians at the time
were Charles and Mary Beard (they were husband and wife). In the Beards' influential book,
The Rise of American Civilization, they depicted the Civil War as a
struggle between a northern industrial class and southern planters for control in the federal
government. In doing so, the Beards' nearly wrote the issue of slavery out of the whole history.
One chapter in this book concerning the Civil War is titled The Second American
Revolution . In the...

What are five main points of Major's speech in Animal Farm?

In s
allegorical novel , , an aging pig at the end of his life, presents an
emotional call to action to his fellow farm animals. In his speech, Major presents a clear
enemymanand explains that to overcome this enemy, the animals must be prepared to revolt. Majors
speech is effective because he uses many of the rhetorical devices and structures observed in
political speeches.

Major realizes he is suggesting the unthinkable to his
animal colleagues, so he spends time throughout his speech developing his credibility. It is
important that those listening believe that he has the background to bring forth these
suggestions. The fact that the animals stop to listen to him speak allows us insight into the
credibility that already exists. Major develops this by explaining to the crowd of listeners
that he has had a long life . . . had much time for thought and understand[s] the nature of
life on this earth as well as any animal now living. Because of his age and the wisdom he has
gained because of it, he points out to the audience that he is someone to be listened to and his
proposal is one to be taken seriously.

Pointing out that he has had a long
life also suggests that he feels that he is at the end of his life and therefore needs to pass
on his knowledge to the next generation. This leads to Majors claim that all the animals are
forced to have torturous lives full of labor and pain. He asks the farm animals to reflect on
their lives:

You cows that I see before me, how many
thousands of gallons of milk have you given during this last year? And what has happened to that
milk . . . ? And you hens, how many eggs have you laid in this last year, and how many of those
eggs ever hatched into chickens? . . . And you, Clover, where are those four foals you bore . .
.?

Each question leads the animals to his next point,
that their lives are all so bad because of one undeniable reason: man.

Majors
main claim throughout the speech is that man's rule must end. Because man consumes without
producing, he must be overthrown, leaving the animals to live their own lives. Major paints man
as evil and tyrannical leader who only cares about what the animals produce for him and not
about the animals themselves. He cares about the milk from the cows and the eggs from the
chickens but not the cows and chickens that work to produce these goods for him.

Majors claims about man lead the farm animals to realize the unfairness of their lives
on the farm; thus, helping sway them to his argument and helping to convince them a change must
occur.

Finally, Majors speech presents a new type of life for the animals on
the farm: animalism. Major suggests that if the animals can take over control of the means of
production, they wont need a man and so they will be able to have the power and control over
their world. He wants them to imagine a better lifea life under animal control instead of the
current way of life under human control. He believes animalism is the answer to all their
problems and uses his speech to inspire them to stand up and revolt against the current
system.

At the end of the play,and Ladyhave already

Once they are gone and he is the undisputed King of Scotland,restores order to his kingdom by
describing his agenda for the immediate future. First, he bestows earldoms on all the loyal

unification of England and Scotland under James I and VI (who, of course, believed himself to be

Next, Malcolm plans to call back those Scots who were

restoring their former lands and titles, a restitution which presumably includes his brother ,
though he is not mentioned by name. He will also seek out the cruel ministers who assisted
Macbeth in his tyranny, though he does not mention their punishment. Presumably the thanes who

specified. The greatest omission is that we do not hear howwill be rewarded for killing the
usurper and leading the cheer in hailing Malcolm as King of Scotland. The titles of Thane of
Cawdor and Thane of Glamis (or perhaps now Earl of Cawdor and Earl of Glamis) have, of course,
recently fallen vacant.

Do you think there is any common link between our real world and the world in 1984 by George Orwell ?

Thankfully, our world and Oceania are fairly distinct.  We don't have to deal with
telescreens in the wall calling out to us, "You are the dead," when we are with the
ones we love or even wish to associate with in our private lives.  Yet, I think that we can find
some level of link between whatfeared in and the modern setting.  Orwell
keenly understood that his text was constructed with what he feared most about the future.  It
is with this in mind that one reality that Orwell envisioned that might find a link with our
world today is the fear of an external reality controlling our lives.  In the novel, it is Big
Brother.  In the modern setting, the need to keep maintain privacy in a world that is constantly
driven with publicity is a form of external encroachment that would concern Orwell.  A world in
which everything is public from web searches is one such example of a lack of privacy.  One's
digital footprint is everywhere, and seeking to control it is a challenge. ...

In The Scarlet Letter why does Dimmesdale first reject Chillingworth's offer for help and then changes his mind? this is in eitherchapter 9 or 10

InofThe
Scarlet Letter,titled "The Leech and his Patient",tries very hard, through persuasive
as well as through allegorical language, to getto tell him the truth about what is really
causing his physical decline. Chillingworth is aware that something inside Reverend Dimmesdale
is eating him up and manifesting itself in the Reverend's weakening body.

At
one point, Dimmesdale gets so upset at Chillingworth's prying questions that he blows up in a
rage, citing that his illness is spiritual and that the only one who could save him is not an
earthly doctor, but God, himself. At this point, Dimmesdale leaves the room for a few
hours.

The narrator then explains that the reason why Dimmesdale returns back
is basically twofold. First, because Dimmesdale felt remorseful at his sudden reaction. Let us
not forget that Dimmesdale is a man ridden by guilt but, nevertheless, he is not necessarily a
mean nor violent man. Since Chillingworth never once lost his nerve and maintained his image of
a willing and helpful man, Dimmesdale felt guilty and thought of himself as a very unfair man to
someone whose main job is to help him. The second reason is implied in the novel; Dimmesdale
knows that he will never tell anybody what exactly is eating him up inside. Moreover,
Chillingworth may grow more and more suspicious since this "ailment" is obviously now
making Dimmesdale lose his temper. Why not just keep the friendship going with Chillingworth
since there is nothing to lose?

 The young clergyman,
after a few hours of privacy, was sensible that the disorder of his nerves had
hurried him into an unseemly outbreak of temper, which there had been nothing in
the physician's words to excuse or palliate.

Therefore it
is a combination of guilt and the need to continue this front of friendship with Chillingworth
(in order to avoid more suspicion) that led Dimmesdale to have a change of
heart.

How is a person's class determined in the 1984 world?

The class of
a person in the world is determined according to the class one is born
into and by ability as defined by the Party, according to the discussion in Part II Chapter IX.
There are three classes, the proles, the Outer Party, and the Inner Party. The proles make up
about 85% of the total population, the Outer Party about 13%, and the Inner Party about
2%.

If a person is born as a prole, they cannot enter any other class.
Extremely intelligent proles who appear to have the potential to make trouble are eliminated by
the Thought Police as a...
