Book Report : ' The Scarlet Red Lips '

The Scarlet Letter is a well known novel written by Nathaniel Hawthorne. The novel is composed and written in Salem and Concord, as well as Boston, Massachusetts in the late 1840's. The narrator of the novel is in an omniscent state, meaning he knows more about the characters than the characters know about themselves. Although the narrartor is omniscent, he also makes sure to include his ideas and opinions on situations, making him also greatly subjective. Being subjective, as well as omniscent, historical fiction along with a story displaying constant symbolism is evident.

A mistake was made somehow in manufacturing, putting those big womanly breasts on what would of otherwise been a perfect work, and you can see how bitter she is about it.”

So now I deserve to hear your story.” “Okay,” he said, “I just turned “24” three weeks ago.” “Cool,” she interrupted, “go on.” “I found out i got this job last week and was told to come into work today, that I already would know what to do, but I have no idea what I’m doing this job was a favor from my old boss. He was with me when I lost this bad boy.” He was showing his prosthetic leg, and said, “I lost it in an accident.” “Oh really must have been an accident then to have lost your leg.” She said with a face that seemed slightly weirded out. He told her the story about how he lost it trying to keep the truck from rolling off the hill and how the electric co-op paid his bills and him the rest of his salary for the year then gave him the job he currently has now, and her response was. “Wow you are kind-of amazing, but you never told me how you actually came to work for the co-op in the first place.” Then he said, “well to be honest I guess it is because I really liked electrical classes in school.” he was interrupted by the waiter bringing their

1. Hester Prynne is portrayed as a Christ figure in The Scarlet Letter. She displays self-sacrifice, saintlike features, and exemplifies some biblical teachings throughout the book. The first, which is self-sacrifice, is shown when Hester is standing on the scaffold in front of the whole town and will not uncover the other participant in the adultery. Reverend Wilson questions her of this man that helped commit this crime, “Speak out thy name! That, and thy repentance, may avail to take the scarlet letter off thy breast” (60), with the attempt to bribe her by promising the possible removal of the scarlet A. She refuses to sell out her secret lover with the responses “Never” and “I will not speak!” (60) but the young clergyman keeps questioning Hester. She is willing to take the fall for the both of them and stand up there with the humiliation of their actions. “It is too deeply branded. Ye cannot take it off. And would that I might endure his agony, as well as mine!” (60). This reinforces her firmness in protecting Dimmesdale and from completely razing his name as a minister by telling the public. She is willing to endure the ignominy from the public without exposing him, which is an example of self-sacrifice. With saying that, Hester is like Jesus Christ because he was crucified for our sins as a form of self-sacrifice so we could have eternal life and go to Heaven. Hester's actions for Dimmesdale caused her much more agony and humiliation by the public because of the

Thesis - Through Pearl’s thoughts and questions that hold symbolic significance, we can understand the connection of the Scarlet letter to the Black man and to Dimmesdale’s burden and the forest, helps better portray Hester and Pearl’s juxtaposed character.

Hi, Mr. Sangster there is no reason to be puzzle. A person grade should be honor for what he or she had made. It should not be given or deprive from them. The reasons that a person should not demonstrate a brief writing sample to prove that he or she is capable of writing an essay.

In puberty a classmate delivers a cruel blow by telling her "you have a great big nose and thick legs" (Piercy 223). Here we see the beginning of a conflict that will plague the young girl for the rest of her life. Although a girl can be healthy and intelligent, it is not expected for her to possess the physical qualities of "strong arms and back, abundant sexual drive and manual dexterity" (Piercy 223). These traits typically being male, the young girl sees them as being unnatural and negative. The girl feels as if she owes society an apology for possessing these characteristics. Piercy drives the point home by writing, "everyone saw her fat nose on thick legs"

In the Scarlet Pimpernel, the author Baroness Orczy put judgement in the book about certain type of people. The aristocrats are featured as feared for their life because they are afraid of getting killed by the peasants, so the author displayed them as innocent people and uses sarcasm as the Community of Public Safety are capturing the aristocrats. The peasants are portrayed as evil people and animals, the author uses these words because she does not like the peasants and despises them. When Sir Percy is in disguised as the jew, the author stereotyped the jew and made the other character look at him with “disgust from the loathsome specimen of humanity”, which portrays that she doesn’t like jews at all. The author displays it’s emotion towards these three different types of people.

A good looking man in an expensive suite walks past a woman on the subway whistling a catchy tune. Many thoughts begin to run through her head, “He’s an important business man on his way to his next meeting.” Or “He’s a father on the way home from work.” As he stops she watches him read a news paper thinking how attractive and self composed he is. In the back of her head she’s wishing that he would speak to her. As she sits and hopes it seems that her wish is going to be answered. The young, attractive gentleman gets up and strides over taking the seat next to her. He introduces himself as Mr. Cromer and engages her in a charming conversation, sweeping her off her feet. In her head everything is going great, she has met the perfect man,

The French Revolution was a gruesome part of history for all French aristocrats of all wealth and is considered one of the worst events to happen in the history of France. Baroness Orczy’s The Scarlet Pimpernel perfectly portrays what it was like during the French Revolution for Aristocrats. This portrayal is seen through a few different characters but one character that depicts the revolution through neither nobility nor commoners, but through an Englishman. The Englishman is none other than Sir Percy Blakeney.

The Harry Potter series is arguably the most well known sequence of books and movies of all time. Harry, a heroic wizard, is portrayed as a Christ figure throughout the series, assisting friends, family, and strangers before himself. He is also marked by the wound of another with a scar, and that disfigurement defines him as a person to those who may be unfamiliar to him. He possesses some of the qualities of another fictional character, written about over two centuries before him. Hester Prynne is marked by her scarlet letter, giving people a preconceived notion about who she is, similar to Harry’s iconic scar. She also puts others before herself, including those who had betrayed her trust (Dimmesdale), similar to Harry saving his enemy Draco from being engulfed in flame in the seventh installment of the series. These acts of selflessness shown by these characters resemble the actions of Christ, and allude back to the Bible. In The Scarlet Letter, Nathaniel Hawthorne alludes to Christianity and the Bible to expose the Puritan’s rigid dogmatism that fails to appreciate his endorsement of love, tolerance, and mercy prevalent throughout the novel.

While she is on the train, she cannot help herself but to be lost in her thoughts. She thinks to herself, “‘Don’t think so much…’ I mumbled to myself. ‘Forget these complexes. Don’t complicate life. Don't be so ridiculous,’ I continued, punishing myself with these thoughts.

I intended for the audience of Dressed in Bloody Scarlet to mainly consist of young adults. This intention was firmly rooted in the fact that over the past couple of years, young adults have been strongly attracted to dystopian settings, evidenced in Publishers Weekly which states that "the combined three volumes of the Divergent series sold over 6.7 million copies". The popularity of this dystopian series, as well as my love of the genre, influenced my decision to make my story fit the style as I believed that it would draw in a large audience of young adults. I personally believe that humanity is attracted to reading about the darker sides of their society, as it brings to light their subconscious questioning of societal constructs, and so

She was beautiful, well to everyone she has met says she is. If she had stood up right now, she would be standing at the height of 5’2, which most people would consider short.
