The Scarlet Letter Tone Thus far in “The Scarlet Letter” by Nathaniel Hawthorne he has made it clear the tone he has taken towards Pearl Prynne‚ Roger Chillingworth‚ and the Puritans as a whole. Hawthorne portrays his tone by his use of diction and syntax. Hawthorne’s view of Pearl is exceptionally adoring. There are several places this is made clear. He claims that her "beauty shined through the gorgeous robes" (Ch. 6) and there was a "circle of radiance" (Ch. 6) that shone about her. As the

Enron: Tone at the Top The fall of Enron is not just one of the largest bankruptcies in U.S. history‚ but in my opinion‚ a landmark case study of the lack of business ethics in an organization.

While the top brass at Enron pled ignorance to the fact that they had no control

“The Seafarer” contains something that is very particular to it. After analyzing various parts and components of the poem I came to the conclusion that it has two authors; the one that came up with the story and the monk that wrote down the story and added a little Christian reflection in the second part. In line 65‚ we can definitely notice a drastic change in style and in the context. Both parts seem to be two different pieces‚ which they are. All the Anglo-Saxon poems used to be passed down orally

In A Mercy‚ through the mouth of Jacob Vaark‚ Toni Morrison gives us an interesting answer to this question. Actually‚ it is more of a statement‚ than an answer. Nonetheless‚ I feel it deserves attention‚ and‚ in a way‚ guides me to a subject I did not expect‚ identity. A subject which I shall be discussing below‚ but before I digress too far‚ here is Jacob’s statement.
