France‚ November 19‚ 1916 Dear Martha‚ I am writing this bilious letter from the deep trenches and piles of dead bodies the most recent battle‚ the Battle of the Somme has left behind. Before you worry‚ I am doing quite well‚ considering the bit of shrapnel that got stuck in my head while I was running among the yelling men‚ bloodied bodies and screaming explosives. The men are once again smoking cigarettes and talking about nonsense‚ joking about loathsome Germans and evading death. Unlike

Hester Prynne Article Reflection After reading this article‚ I find myself agreeing with most of what the author has to say about Hester Prynne‚ one of the protagonists in The Scarlet Letter. I enjoy the fact that the writer believes Hester is a cultural symbol who changed the way society has viewed women for a long time.

This short story is a prime example of hypocrisy‚ intolerance‚ and unchristian like behavior while in God’s house. An old‚ black woman
