Although a large portion of his stories are allegories‚ Hawthorne’s preference is to draw more heavily on symbolism (Pennell 13). His use of symbols adds depth to his stories and helps to reveal different aspects of his characters. In Rappaccini’s Daughter‚ Hawthorne uses symbolism to create a modern day tale of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.There are two settings for this story.

As a teen‚ I was not much into movies‚ which always got my parents concerned. My parents were very broadminded; they encouraged me to see all types of movies‚ to develop my interest‚ so that I could “know the real world”‚ as they believed that cinema was a reflection of our daily lives.

A Better Daughter “It’s the most wonderful time of the year.” My eyes opened to the familiar sound of the lady singing from my alarm clock. It was two days after Christmas‚ 8:00 a.m. in the morning.

Though I have lived it and had to face the feelings of abandonment; I am who I am because I’ve overcome it. It is because of those feelings

The shelter was very stuffy. The amount of injured and sick people in the shelter sickened me to my stomach. I could not breathe even though I was inhaling deeply. The smell of damp was so bad that there was no clean air to breath. I could hear the moans and cries from the injured people and I tried to cover my ears but it was like it was re-playing again and again in my head. It was very gloomy in the shelter and it matched the scenery around. I closed my eyes wishing I was not here but opened

turn a childhood totally upside down. “Psychological studies show that children growing up without fathers are more likely to be aggressive and quick to anger” (Kismet).

Elizabeth English 241 George Orwell: Reflection or Ridicule On reading Keep The Aspidistra Flying by George Orwell‚ I initially thought that Gordon Comstock was not a reflection of George Orwell‚ rather‚ he was just an over dramatic and exaggerating anti capitalist. Upon reading further‚ however‚ I now believe that George Orwell reflects some of his own views onto Gordon Comstock’s character. Although rather exaggerated‚ I believe Orwell‚ having written about social injustices and totalitarianism
