... think so, and he shows this in so many ways and symbols that it is at some times hard to unfold. He clearly states in his writing that the Puritans are sinners themselves in the way they act because they are stubborn and believe that their way is the only way. There are many examples in the book that show these views that he has. The first sign of these views came in the second chapter. Here she is ridiculed by the entire Puritan society because of the adultery that she has committed, but they don’t let her get off easy. They put her on the scaffold in front of the whole town to be made an examp ...

... madness and destruction upon those who spurned him or the orgiastic rituals of his cult” (Wendell 23) The yearly rites in honor of the resurrection of gradually evolved into the structured form of the Greek drama, and important festivals were held in honor of the god, during which great dramatic competitions were conducted.

... The reason that Hamlet is not sure whether or not the ghost is telling the truth is that he feels the ghost may be the devil. This idea is portrayed when Hamlet says, "The spirit that I have seen may be a devil, and the devil hath power t' assume a pleasing shape." (I.ii. 611-612) Hamlet is wondering if this is a ghost from heaven or a ghost from hell. No one wants to go to hell, so Hamlet must make sure that he is doing what is right. He does not want to be influenced by the devil in any way. The Christian thoughts of the time stated that vengeance was a sin. Hamlet wants to avenge his father's death but if ...

... Secondly, I think that in the play honours are thought of as garments to be worn; likewise, Macbeth is constantly represented symbolically as the wearer of robes not belonging to him.

Therefore, Macbeth is uncomfortable in them because he is continually conscious of the fact that they do not belong to him. In the following passage, the idea constantly recurs that Macbeth's new honours sit ill upon him, like a loose and badly fitting garment, belonging to someone el ...

... in the "can." If you remember Stradlater was getting ready for his other date while Holden watched him. "Stradlater was a secret slob" in public he always looked good and got all the girls but in fact he was a slob. His razor that made him look so good was "rusty as hell and full on lather and hair and crap." This proves that he is a slob to "never clean it or anything." If you think about it that's even worst than Old Ackley. At least Ackley knew that he had a problem, that he need to do something about his face; but Stradlater thought that he was a great guy. He actually thought that there was nothing wrong wit ...

Roberts is the she has trouble seeing and she uses it to feel her way to town “she may not have been completely blind but she had to have been substantially impaired to have kept tapping her cane in a redundant manner� (Roberts 196). The next conflict is her age. The narrator does not mention exactly how old Phoenix is, but “her eyes were blue with age. Her skin had a pattern all its own of numbering branchless wrinkles…� (Roberts 197).

... the wonderful results. With the advent of the rapid growth of the Internet, the media has become bloated. A glut of information has made a traffic jam on the "Information Superhighway" most commonly referred to as the Internet. The glut of information has "news organizations" scrambling to find a new edge or new story to report before any other "news organization". The basic purpose of the establishment of news organizations is to report to the public what is occurring. Instead, the evolution of "Active Journalism", digging up a story, instead of waiting for it to "land in your lap" is the most detrimental effect ...

... the root of human ideals. While the environment or the public world (society) plays some part in forming the psyche of an individual, it is in the end, the choice of the individual (John) to be who they become The whole concept of contradicts to everything John ever believed in. John came from a world where art and expression of variation from the society existed. People must face their problems and overcome them, and love requires commitment and is greatly appreciated.
