Guyland: The perilous world where boys become men. Michael Loebig 11/28/11 Guyland can be defined as the world in which young men live (Kimmel 2008‚ pg. 4).

Scarlet Letter notes and quotes Chapter Quote 1: “some sweet moral blossom‚ that may be found along the track‚ or relieve the darkening close tale of human frailty and sorrow.” This quote tells us that the story will be very dark with possibly many mysteries for us to solve and put the puzzle pieces together. And that there are innocent events and thoughts in the book too. The 1st chapter is very short only 1 and ½ pages long so there is not much vital information whatsoever. And with
