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. The first and main setting is an eye appealing garden next to Giovanni Guasconti’s room which is located in Padua‚

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. I slowly spill out of bed‚ very slowly‚ continuously murmuring‚ “Why do I have to wake up? I’m not even in school anymore.. ugh..” As I was crawling up the stairs to the dining room‚ I can already tell by the sound coming from kitchen; my father was very ready to start our day.
