- ... can “…only account for the child’s character—and even then most vaguely and imperfectly—by recalling what she herself had been, during that momentous period while Pearl was imbibing her soul from the spiritual world, and her bodily frame from its material of earth. The mother’s impassioned state had been the medium through which were transmitted to the unborn infant rays of its moral life; and, however white and ... her face the look of a much older child.”(pg.18) Pearl also throws flowers at the scarlet letter, “covering the mother’s breast with hurts for which she could find no balm in this world.”(Pg.142) To Pearl, the scarlet letter is an awesome and interesting thing. When Pearl grows older, she too expects to wear the letter “A” on her bosom, because it is a natural part of ... simply replacing the articles of clothing, but it restores Hester’s sin and grief with them.

- 10632: Inherit The Wind
- ... one thing that science hasn’t been able to give them. Enter God, the means that mankind has clung to for purpose. If there isn’t a God, does that mean that 95% of the world is suffering from some sort of mass dillusion? There may be a thousand arguments against there being a supreme being that we can think of, but it’s all those reasons that we cannot think ... Yet the Church, like humanity, has the right to make a mistake and reassess their beliefs. It doesn’t mean all they say is false, not at all! I couldn’t imagine living in a world where God didn’t exist -- I wouldn’t want to. Turn around 360 degrees and you are back facing the same direction, now science lies in front of you where religion so recently resided. Politics ... profitable.

In Inherit the Wind, Drummond replies sarcastically to this belief of Brady’s that “It frightens me to imagine the state of learning in this world if everyone had your driving curiosity.” After all, what are we here for? To watch television, drink Coca-Cola and eat McDonald’s? No! A ship in the harbor may be safe, but that ...
- 10633: Freedom of Speech on the Internet
- ... argument has to do with the easily obtainable content that the Internet provides, specifically, the easy accessibility to websites that contain offensive or immoral material.

Although the Internet contains content children should not view, censoring the entire or ... people communicating and information stored on millions of computers worldwide, accessible to others through telephone lines and other communication channels.

In Huck’s dealings with society he sees people for who they truly are, "He sees the real world; and he does not judge it-he allows it to judge itself" (Eliot 329). Huck is rejuvenated by the river, when he goes ashore he faces society and all the injustices that it carries. When ... the one thing that both Huck and Jim are searching for they only find on the river. Twain is showing us in this story that sometime we must break away from society and what the world views as correct and just. He is showing us that we have the strength inside to stand on our own and make decisions for ourselves. Twain, through Huck, gives us the chance to see all the things in the world as they really are. Not so that we judge the world but so we can stand up for what is right.
- 10635: Silicon
- ... vacuum tube was invented in 1906 by Dr.Lee DeForest. Throughout the first half of the 20th century, vacuum tubes were used to conduct, modulate and amplify electrical signals. They made possible a variety of new products including the radio and the computer. However vacuum tubes had some inherent problems. They were bulky, delicate and expensive, consumed a great deal of power, took time to warm up, got very hot, and ... a process known as impurity doping. In the hot furnace, the dopant atoms enter the areas of exposed silicon, forming a pattern of n-type material. An etching bath removes the remaining oxide, and a new layer of silicon (n-) is deposited onto the wafer. The first layer of the chip is now complete, and the masking process begins again: a new layer of oxide is grown, the wafer is coated with photoresist, the second mask pattern is exposed to the wafer, and the oxide is etched away to reveal new diffusion areas. The process is ...

- ... neighbors but he cannot go to them. He is bothered by the idea of the younger generation examining him. He wishes he could fit in but believes that is not a reality.

This shows the internal conflict still occurring within him. Even though he has overcome his problem with his love life, he still has many other worries to contend with. The mermaids are singing beautifully, but in his opinion, they cannot possibly be singing for him. His insecurity is still present and seems incurable. His fantasy world is brought to a crashing halt easily. "Till human voices wake us, and we drown."(131) His only happiness can be found in daydreams and can be destroyed easily as such. Although giving him ...

Gatsby then decided to devote his life solely to the attainment of his former love, Daisy, inevitably blinding himself from reality. Due to this deep ... Gatsby was born, was the beginning of the end. When Gatsby trod his first step upon Dan Cody's boat, it was as though he was proclaiming that his old self never existed, and his new-self would flourish.
