Number of words: 1431 - Number of pages: 6.... harm is how PC proponents try to please everyone at the same time. The burning of the bruin was just one of many activities held during the week before the big UCLA game. The idea being that everyone could find something that they could identify with and rally around their school.

The Scarlet Letter -x
Number of words: 897 - Number of pages: 4.... "soapbox" for Hawthorne to convey to the world that the majority of Puritans were strict and unfeeling. For example, before Hester emerges from the prison she is being scorned by a group of women who feel that she deserves a larger punishment than she actually receives. Instead of only being made to stand on the scaffold and wear the scarlet letter on her chest, they suggest that she have it branded on her forehead or even be put to death. Perhaps the most important influence on the story is the author's interest in the dark side. Unlike the transcendentalists of the era, Hawthorne "conf .....

Floating down the river with barely a hold on a piece of
wood his life, he abandons everything except Catherine and
lets the river take him to a new life that becomes
increasing difficult to understand.
The escape to Switzerland seemed too perfect for a book that
set a tone of ugliness in the world that was only dotted
with pure love like Henry's and Cat's and I knew the story
couldn't end with bliss in the slopes of Montreux. In a
world where the abstracts of glory, honor, and sacrifice
meant little to Frederick, his physical association .....

Its Not Over Till Its Over
Number of words: 343 - Number of pages: 2.... few very important ones. The first is that the reader now knows that their suspicions of Molly’s close friends are correct, and that everything is not what it seems to be. Up until this point, the reader had no idea that of all people, Jenna was not only responsible for the murder of Molly’s husband, but quite possibly the murder of Molly as well.

Frankenstein 2
Number of words: 996 - Number of pages: 4.... and hints, like, to not eat the apples from a certain tree because that would lead him to evil. Adam took this into consideration, but broke his promise and ate the apple. This is similar to Victor and the monster because, in the book, Victor represented God and the monster represented Adam. Victor like God, created human life "not following the law of nature", the difference was that the monster did not have his creator there to tell him what he should or should not do and that Adam was made with mud and the monster by chemicals and materials. Victor was a normal person and became ill aft .....

Hedda - "No thanks, it really doesn't interest me'. In another gender role reversal, Hedda displays a financial awareness, which her husband, Jorgen does not posses.
