.... and Hester. This was a very sinful thing to do. When Pearl asks him if he will stand with them on the scaffold he says no, just crushing the child. And Hester does nothing cut encourage this behavior by saying that one day he will stand with them. The last reason that Dimmesdale is the greatest sinner in the Scarlet Letter is that he died first as a result of his sin.

Big Brother: Who Is He And What Does He Want
.... there is a Telescreen which allows Part members to see and hear anything that goes on in the area of the telescreen. Knowing that anything they say, think or do is being seen by the "Big Brother" people will began to believe and think what they are told is the truth, if they do not, they are tortured until they do. Big Brother is used, in my opinion, to scare the people of Oceania. He is seen as a very powerful person (even if he isn't real) and people know what will happen if they disobey him. The Party wants everyone to have the same morals and beliefs, Big Brother scares that into everyone.
Even though 1984 is a fictio .....

Significance Of Dewey Decimal System With To Kill A Mockingbird
.... Jem confused the Dewey Decimal System with John Dewey’s philosophy of education. This is clear when Scout says, “What Jem called the Dewey Decimal System was school wide by the end of my first year, so I had no chance to compare it to any other teaching technique, I could only look around me” (Lee 37). Dewey’s educational philosophy was the new way students were to be taught in the Maycomb schools. It stressed the hands on experiential method of teaching. Jem easily confused John Dewey’s new way of teaching with Melvil Dewey’s classification system because it was the Dewey Decimal System that he was familiar with since he was suc .....

.... such a journey.
Throughout the story, harsh weather and literal distance of her aim represent obstacles. However, some of the obstacles take more familiar faces, in the eyes of a white man and woman.

The Hunter tries to make Phoenix Jackson rethink her journey, in spite of the fact that she is worn out, she does not subdue; “I bound to go to town, mister… the time come around.” Also, the Nurse represents oppression and prejudice as she presumably labels Phoenix Jackson a “charity case.”

It notes in the story that she had not always had that appearance. In the picture of a younger Emily with her father, she was shown as frail and apparently hungering to take part in the life of the era.
