demonstrates that doing something frowned upon by society does not have to be an evil thing so long as it is good for the individual. Perhaps the most obvious example of societal morals conflicting with individual need is the case of Mrs. Kitty Warren. Mrs. Warren is a woman whose economic standing and lack of any professional skills forced her into becoming a prostitute. Obviously such a profession is against the beliefs of the society that she lives in. Not only is she not ashamed of her occupation

“’Dear little Pearl‚ wilt thou kiss me now? Thou wouldst not‚ yonder‚ in the forest! But now thou wilt?’ Pearl kissed his lips. A spell was broken.” This quote‚ coming from chapter 23 in The Scarlet Letter‚ shows another example of how Dimmesdale attempts to free his soul before he dies. Throughout this entire chapter‚ Dimmesdale tries to cleanse his heart by telling the townspeople that he is not the man that they know and love. Instead‚ he is a sinner who has committed adultery with Hester

According to Todd Warren‚ “The challenges of the day can be stressful‚ but when you finally break through and the light bulb comes on in the child head‚ it make it worth wild” (Warren). Mr. Warren also says‚ “I find that I don’t really have enough down time to grade papers” (Warren). “Elementary school teachers must be comfortable working with students and families from diverse backgrounds” (Nadeau). This could be a negative because if the child

This quote is very significant for understanding the whole novel and Amir’s behavior. As we learn from the book‚ Amir and his servant Hassan were living together. Hassan is loyal and loves his master Amir‚ but on the other hand‚ Amir doesn’t feel the same way. Instead‚ he tries to put Hassan down and shows his superiority over him. Knowing that his servant would do anything for him‚ Amir acts in very cruel and hostile way.

I choose this quote because it shows how Gandalf is perceived from the hobbits. I think Bilbo’s opinion will change if he decides to go on this quest and I hope he has a better opinion of Gandalf and adventures. I think this quote shows that Gandalf has been out of the radar with the last line with Bilbo saying “I had no idea you were still in the business” which I interpret that Gandalf has been away. Maybe on a big quest? This quote came from Thorin while talking about the quest. Thorin is very

The most meaningful quote from “The Pearl” by John Steinbeck is “ Kino threw the pearl into the water”. This quote is the most meaningful quote because when he threw the pearl he felt that he wanted to leave all of the events that happened to him with the pearl. If this quote was not in the story‚ then the story would have ended up Kino still having the pearl and bad events would happen to him‚ for example‚ Kino makes bad decisions because he refuses to get rid of the pearl even though strangers

Quote #1: Greta and pressure It is clear to see that Greta lays in the leaves waiting for June to find her‚ this is Greta’s way of escaping reality‚ Greta escapes because she feels like she is moving too fast‚ she purposely waits for June almost like a child waiting for their parent. “I could see a light reflecting off a pair of glasses. The glasses were on a face. Greta’s muddy face. Just her on the forest floor‚ her shiny black hair pulled back tight and those round silver-framed glasses […] I

“But I think a big part of the reason I didn’t care about Soraya’s past was that I had one of my own. I knew all about regret.” (180) "Come. There is a way to be good again" This quote is significant because it indicates that Rahim Khan has known Amir’s secret all these years‚ the secret of Amir’s cowardice when Hassan was being attacked by bullies while running a kite for Amir "...the elephant in the room’...Nothing could more correctly describe the initial moments of my reunion with Rahim Khan"

“I realized then that surviving / the peace was up to me.” – Narrator (Northrup‚ Jim. Walking the Rez Road: Stories. Fulcrum Publishing‚ 2013. Print. 4.) This quote was rather strange to me. It’s hard to imagine that someone’s life experiences were so chaotic and screwed up that in time of peace and serenity they are struggling and confused. My life is so hectic I would pay money to have just a week of no stress‚ no problems‚ just peace. “Didja ever wonder / when it would end? / It ended for my
