.... is more of what I’ve always believed a tar and feathering to be: humiliating and a chance for the public to punish a person themselves. The rebel states that the man was stripped naked, tar and feathers put all over his body, then he was tied up and carted around the town while the public inflicted punishment for only half an hour, not like the five hours that Hulton describes. He doesn’t describe what this punishment is but I’m sure it wasn’t as bad as the near-death experience that Ann Hulton described in her letter. These two letters .....

.... lives of others. The men in this story obviously think the women inferior and that allows Mrs. Hale to show not contempt for men, but rather their naiveté toward the true nature and feelings of women. She does this to protect them from things that really do not want to find out about because if they did they would be forced into things that are really not wanted by any, sending a woman whose husband she killed in self defense to her death. This dynamic character goes from an uncomfortable situation in which she really just wants to go home to a desire to help .....

The end result of this was .....

.... Sethe kills her baby because, in Sethe's mind, her children are the only good and pure part of who she is and must be protected from the cruelty and the "dirtiness" of slavery(Morrison 251). In this respect, her act is that of love for her children. The selfishness of Sethe's act lies in her refusal to accept personal responsibility for her baby's death. Sethe's motivation is dichotomous in that she displays her love by mercifully sparing her daughter from a horrific life, yet Sethe refuses to acknowledge that her show of mercy is also murder. Throughout , Set .....

.... the forest. He (the figure) was an older man, which resembled Goodman Brown. The most discerning aspect of this traveler was his staff, “…which bore the likeness of a great black snake…”(103). The traveler’s staff seems to symbolize the evilness of its keeper. Goodman Brown tries to stop his journey into the woods, but he is persuaded (by evil) to keep on going. Satan now starts to introduce the evil that is apparent in his family by talking about his father and grandfather and the things they did in the past. Goodman Brown is .....
