only people immune to the poison of this plant were Beatrice and Dr.
Rappaccini.
In Hawthorne's story, a parallel between Giovanni and Adam is
established. Both are young men, and each was tempted by a wo .....

"Down And Out Paris And London"
.... that Orwell says:
"Quite apart from experience, one can say a priori that very few tramps are
dangerous, because if they were dangerous they would be treated accordingly.
A casual ward will often admit a hundred tramps in one night, and these
are handled by a staff of at most three porters. A hundred ruffians could
not be controlled by three unarmed men. Indeed, when one sees how ramps
let themselves be bullied by the work house officials, it is obvious that
they are the most docile, broken-spirite .....

The Scarlet Letter: Do You Dread Guilt?
.... handles it in a
different way though, to him its more of a "concealed sin." A example of
this is, "It may be that they are kept silent by the very constitution of
their nature. Or - can we not suppose it - guilty as they may be,
retaining, nevertheless, a zeal for God's glory and man's welfare, they
shrink from displaying themselves black and filthy in the view of men;
because, thenceforward, no good can be achieved by them; no evil or the
past be redeemed by better service." Dimmesdale also has an .....

greyish-green mist. He uses these powers so humans dont detect his presence.

nothing of being able to morph into a bat, mist or anything else for that
matter.
The ability to fly is used in each novel but they are used very
differently. In Dracula the count can fly but, in order to do this he
must .....

Early American Literature By Stephen Crane And Robert E. Lee About War
.... how horrible war is. In this piece Crane keeps repeated
"war is kind". These three words really show how he and other Americans
felt about war. He is not saying that war is good. He is saying this in a
sarcastic way. For example, he talks about how peoples loved ones are
dying. And then later he says "Do not weep. War is Kind." In this poem
he really shows us that Americans were really tired of war.
In the "Letter to His Son" Robert E. Lee also depicts his attitude,
