.... the most abrupt and outlandish form of censorship, people experienced mind censorship in their homes every day. Parlor walls were walls in a room used for watching television and specially designed “interactive” programs, designed to provide people with pleasure. Shows written for the soul purpose to please people in their parlors were watched on the walls. A script would be written with the home viewer’s part included, but would be left out during the actual recording of the program while the actors paused to give the viewer time to recite the part at home. Befor .....

.... in the public than they are privately. These themes, as the reader acknowledges, are apparent just as much in today’s society as they were in the 17th-century society that Hawthorne writes of. This similarity between the societies of the last 300 years has kept The Scarlet Letter, and the love for the pure romance novel, alive. The first major theme, the law vs. nature theme, runs very deep throughout The Scarlet Letter. Although today’s society is very tolerant to the wrongdoing of its citizens, Puritan society was very strict. Its laws covered every aspect of life. Human na .....

.... and sexual connotations, The Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger should not be censored in high schools because it provides insightful information and relevance to the life of young adults through its realistic situations and themes of acceptance and materialism. The reader can relate to the realistic situations, such as the scene at the Lunts play, present in the novel. Salinger portrays "real life while he "She saw some jerk she knew on the other side of the lobby. Some guy in one of those very dark gray flannel suits and one of those checkered vests.

.... forming friendships with others. The brief time spent in each town made it hard for Helen to get to know others. She seemed to slip into her own “protective bottle”, moving from place to place almost mechanically, making it harder for people to get to know her. By joining the Mask and Wig Club, in North Crawford, she was given the opportunity to open up to others and meet new people, thus making many friends. We can see that by emerging from her protective shell, it was easier for her to get to know the people around her and for them to get to know her as well. Among the thin .....

.... the next section. Here the alliteration of 'muddy, mettled' adds to the impression of confusion with vivid verbs such as 'breaks,' 'plucks'and 'tweaks' supply metaphorical assaults suffered by Hamlet. In describing claudius, Hamlet uses twowords, 'bloody'and 'bawdy',which sum up the king's evil nature as he is both a murderer and the seducer of Hamlet's mother. The repetition of 'villian' and the assonance of 'remorseless,treacherous,lecherous,kindless' provide a feeling of hysteria to the speech before Hamlet once more turns upon himself. The speech ends with the phrase 'About my brains' af .....

.... list of strains: Ebola Zaire, Ebola Sudan, and now, Reston. These are all level-four hot viruses. That means there are no vaccines and there are no cures for these killers. In 1976 Ebola climbed out of its primordial hiding place in the jungles of Africa, and in two outbreaks in Zaire and Sudan wiped out six hundred people. But the virus had never been seen outside of Africa and the consequences of having the virus in a busy suburb of Washington DC is too terrifying to contemplate. Theoretically, an airborne strain of Ebola could emerge and circle the world i .....
