.... provides us with that chance. Throughout the book we see the hypocrisy of society. The first character we come across with that trait is Miss Watson. Miss Watson constantly corrects Huck for his unacceptable behavior, but Huck doesn’t understand why, "That is just the way with some people. They get down on a thing when they don’t know nothing about it" (2). Later when Miss Watson tries to teach Huck about Heaven, he decides against trying to go there, "...she was going to live so as to go the good place. Well, I couldn’t see no advantage in going where she was going, so I made up my .....

.... see people hurting. He explains when he says that he would like to be "a catcher in the rye", someone who protects children from the pitfalls of hypocrisy and lies, that Holden seems to think infect the adult world. As a result, Holden is very careful not to use other characters as a means for his own ends. In many ways he is unable to deflect the unexpressed pressures that every teen male feels, to have sex. He is offered the "teenage dream" of sex in a non-responsible situation when Maurice, the elevator operator in his hotel offers to set him up with a hooker. Holden jumps at the chance, b .....

.... her mother and her mother’s husband Uther, until Viviane took her into the service of the Goddess. She was a quiet girl that kept her thoughts and feelings to herself. She was satisfied with her life, and did not long for anything else. Morgaine respected those around her, but with the exception of her brother Arthur, she did not love them. When Viviane brought Morgaine to Avalon for the first time, she was even more a child then she was when she lived with Uther and her mother – both in her character and in her knowledge. At the castle she had known what she needed to know for some .....

.... was Hester’s partner in sin although the public knows not of it and thinks him to be almost a saint. He has mental anguish for the rest of his life and punishes himself by not eating properly, and by beating himself with a whip. Roger Chillingworth, his physician and Hester’s husband constantly reminds him of his sin. Near the end of the book, Dimmesdale finally tells the people of his sin and is redeemed just before he dies. Roger Chillingworth was Hester’s husband in the Old World. He sent her to the colonies to make a home while he finished his affairs. After two years many peop .....

.... the extravagant dwelling. Through the narrator's words, we see the Governor's house as Hester sees it: "...though partly muffled by a curtain, it [the hallway] was more powerfully illuminated by one of those embowed hall windows..." (Hawthorne 101). One can envision the brilliant sunlight streaming though the immense window, slicing through the facade of the Governor's feigned sanctity. Is not simplicity one of the fundamental tenets of the Puritan faith? Yet Bellingham, the very person that passed judgment on Hester and her sin is laid bare to the reader's opened eye. Here, light show .....

.... a certain person is guilty or not, they would act upon him/her without a fair trial. Their view of the law was that it "just gets in the way" and should be abolished all together. The Knights believed that the law was good and is there for a reason, while the cowboys felt the law was wrong and took action into their own hands. The two groups both showed a special friendship for each other, yet their friendships were based on different feelings. They were always ready for action and didn't have the time to express their friendship to others. Their friendships were almost always a t .....

.... sets the stage for the next two scenes. A few years later the event is again repeated. It is very similar to the other and helps us understand the torment of Dimmesdale. As before the tortured Reverend Dimmesdale goes first on to the platform. He seeks a confession of his sins a second time by calling out into the night. He then sees Hester and Pearl coming down the street from the governor's house. As before, they are asked to go up on the scaffold and be with the minister. At this time Pearl questions the minister if he will do this at noontide and he answers no. He once agai .....

.... the widow. He proves this point when he says, "Living in a house, and sleeping in a bed, pulled on me pretty tight, mostly, but before the cold weather I used to slide out and sleep in the woods, sometimes, and so that was a rest to me. I liked the old ways best, but I was getting so I liked the new ones, too, a little bit." (Clemens 1211) Then Huck's father kidnapped him and took Huck to live in a cabin with him. Huck thought that it was fun, but he started to get sick of being locked up for long periods of time. He began to get sick of his father getting drunk and beating him. He say .....

.... occur such as the introduction of all the characters, Gem and Scout meeting a new friend Dill, Scout attending school, and probably the biggest: the introduction and old wives tales about the mysterious neighbor Boo Radley. Some small events that increase the suspense were Gem’s pants being mended by an unknown person, and during a local fire, a blanket wrapped around Scout by a stranger. After the reader gets a true feel for life in the South, the action starts to pick up. One day during school, a fellow classmate of Scout calls Atticus a "Niger lover." Scout is confused and asks her .....

.... a very young age when they were exposed to World War 1. The war was getting worse as the days went by, and the soldiers were dying quickly. The commanding officers felt it was best to convince young men to enter the war to support and fight for their country. They were not told whom they were really fighting for, or the cause. In Paul’s case, Germany was under attack from many sides, and it was best for him to head for the front lines and defend his fatherland. Paul was almost “brainwashed” and was completely convinced that he was doing the right thing. “Once it .....
