Number of words: 373 - Number of pages: 2.... wars as we did in the past, but now the new technology used in them helps bring about more casualties. Could this be crueler than our ancestors.

The Scarlet Letter
Number of words: 502 - Number of pages: 2.... that Hawthorne carefully, and sometimes not subtly at all, places Pearl above the rest. She wears colorful clothes, is extremely smart, pretty, and nice.
