... Hawthorne uses supernatural events, the uncertainty created by the dark forest setting, and encounters with trusted moral advisors to cause the rest of Brown’s life to become gloomy.
First of all, Hawthorne uses supernatural events to make the rest of Goodman Brown’s life gloomy. For example, Brown encounters a “black cloud mass” from which the “accents of the townspeople…, men and women, both pious and ungodly…”(56) were emanating.

To Kill A Mockingbird: Sterotypes And Misconceptions
... tree”(pg 38) This quote reveals that
the two siblings felt that Boo was a harmful person because of false rumors.
Stereotypes are easily picked up, and used to horrible extreme when a
large majority of people use them. This was the case with Scout and Jem
when they picked up on the stereotypes going around the neighborhood about
Boo. “When I got there, my breeches were all folded and sewn up”(pg 63)
When Boo sewed Jem's breeches together, this was a sign from Boo to let the
children realize what a kind and pleasant man he really was. Also, Boo was
considerate enough to save Jem from a couple of whipping ...

... two societies also have many different customs, ways, and styles of living. The Brave New World is clean, sanitary, and organized.

Twain's" A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur's Court" Satire
... society(Wiggins 80). If we
look at the character progression of both Hank Morgan and Merlin, the
reader can easily see Twain's dual-criticism.
When Hank arrives in Camelot, he quickly rises to power. His
manipulation of public opinion regarding him by the use of "miracles"
immediately brings Hank to the realization that he can basically do
whatever he pleases. His knowledge of nineteenth century technology makes
Hank Morgan a "human standing next to apes"(Robinson 190). This section
of the story is filled with Twain's commentary on the absurdness of the
ideals of Chivalry. When Camelot is looked at from t ...

Clock Work Orange With Regards
... automated response to "evil." Burgess enforces the idea of the medical model of corrections, in terms of rehabilitating an offender, which is up to the individual. That one should determine the cause and then find an exclusive treatment to resolve that individual's case, then apply it. This is the case with the character Alex, a juvenile delinquent introduced into prisonization then conditioned by governmental moral standards. This lack of personal moral choice imposed upon Alex creates conflicting situations in which he has no control over. This is apparent when trying to readjust into society. As conflic ...

Your Chemical World
... out that certain substances could be used for painting, hence the archaic cave paintings found in Southern Europe. Today we use chemistry to build our houses, to drive to work everyday, even toasting your toast in the morning. Because chemistry is our link to the hidden world of the earth’s terrestrial fruits like Silicon or Iron our hands will be forever bound to chemistry. The book starts off with our beginning and the unlikely usage of chemistry in pre-historic times. Our ancestors were more then likely concerned primarily with staying alive. Certain things are needed to do that, like food, shelter, energy, ...

Dead Man Walking
... should not be the answer.
I believe Sister Helen’s success in dealing with the issue of capital punishment falls on the two cases for which she was a spiritual advisor. In these cases, Sister Helen always tried her best to grant stays of execution or a court appeal. She fought for what she believed in and tried her best to abolish the death penalty. Sister in no way condemned what these killers had done, but tried her best to comfort them in their time of loneliness, sorrow, and need.
Sister Helen’s first case, Patrick Sonnier, better influenced my opinion on capital punishment. Her strategies in de ...
