    In this section, Hawthorne sets the mind-set for the "story of sorrow" that is to take after. His first passage acquaints the peruser with what some might need to consider an (or the) significant character of the work: the Puritan culture. The Puritan culture is symbolized in the main part by the plot of weeds developing so plentifully in front of the jail. By the by, nature additionally incorporates wonderful things, spoke to by the wild rosebush. The rosebush is a solid picture created by Hawthorne which, to the modern peruser, may aggregate up the entire work. In the first place it is wild; that is, it is of nature, inherent, or springing from the "footsteps of the sainted Anne Hutchinson." , using allusion. Second, as per the author, it…

    Excerpt: “The towers stood like huge sails at the foot of Manhattan Island, with each face built to absorb a hurricane of 140 miles per hour. The wind load on an ordinary day was thirty times greater than the force of the airplane that would hit it on September 11. The mass of the tower was 1,000 times greater than the jet’s. Given the sheer bulk of the towers, it was not surprising that the building continued to stand after the plane hit.” p. 40, End of first paragraph…

    e criticize it because it demeans the "black experience" by making the oppression of slavery, which is too horrible for humor, appear funny.1 However, many critics have said that Miss Pat would be a lot funnier if she didn't appear right after the gruesome slide show portraying the horrors of slavery.2 Specifically, this scene uses the alienation techniques of time jumping and directly addressing the audience as slaves. Besides providing a powerful introduction, the ride on the slave ship takes the audience through a very brief overview of black American history. There is a heavy importance that goes along with this review because while not everyone will understand all of the references, it creates a historical atmosphere with the entertainment…

    This passage explains how Pearl represents the innocence in one’s passion or love for another. Her stark contrast from other children catches the attention of both her parents, Hester and Dimmesdale. Pearl serves as a result of their lust for each other.

    “The Dark Knight,” a movie directed and produced by Christopher Nolan, depicts the way a system of justice deals with terrorism. If an archetype is defined as a symbol that exists instinctively in the collective consciousness of the human race, the terrorism in Batman The Dark Knight represents an archetype through the violence, murder of the innocent, mayhem and mass destruction. Governments often lay down laws and procedures for a country to function, and to avoid anarchy. The laws promote wellness, equality, and justice, but sometimes even these entities of justice are forced to break the law for a greater good. In contemporary U.S. history, President Barack Obama, the head of one of the most powerful countries in the world, decided to introduce a select team of individuals into Pakistan, in an illegal manner, in order to kill Osama bin Laden, the head of an international Islamic terrorist group known as al-Qaeda. In the movie these two sides of justice are represented by two “knights.” On one side, Batman, who is constantly referred to as the dark knight and on the other Harvey Dent, who is referred to as the white knight. The words “white” and “dark” have two specific connotations, one which brings to mind the concept of light, an archetype that symbolizes purity, justice, hope, and clarity. The other invokes into mind the concept of darkness, an archetype which embodies fear, ignorance, despair, and the unknown. The use of this archetypical antithesis throughout the whole movie is an allusion to the two sides of justice: the “white side” and the “dark side.” Terrorism is represented by the criminal mastermind known as “The Joker,” a cynical clown that is very similar to Islamic terrorists, an archetype of the devil figure. The most prevalent real life terrorist in current world news is Osama bin Laden, the head of al Qaeda. He plans and orders attacks onto specific targets through suicide bombings, representing the notion…
