If Chillingworth were in fact slowly poisoning Dimmesdale to death, there would have truly been no place in the world where Dimmesdale could have escaped from Chillingworth not even on the scaffold.

The vernacular enhances American writing solely because it is uniquely early American. It also gives a face to American writing, distinguishing it from writing in other parts of the world.

- 9806: Love 2
- LOVE Once in a person's lifetime, everyone finds this one perfect person who they fall hopelessly in love with and live happily ever after.

Real life relationships are definitely more like "The Real World" rather than "Romeo and Juliet". Romanticism is wonderful in itself, and thus two people can live in heavenly bliss, but it all must come to an end somehow. It is a fact of life that ... work out often.In direct relation to growing apart, a person sometimes finds another person besides their boy/girlfriend who they are attracted to.
