- ... kept out of harms way in the playpen or crib. As I grew older and was no longer watched by my parents 24 hours a day, I realized that I was censored by others. In school, it was constantly no to this and no to that. All that negativity is not good for children, all day long. It was always interesting to me as to why we recited the pledge of allegiance in school, what if you are not American? I also was not allowed to watch the news. My parents felt it was "real violence", and not appropriate for me, that was parental censorship. When I was old ...

As the walls were thinner, stained glass windows gradually came to replace masonry. Later Gothic cathedrals appear to be only thin skeletal frames of masonry.

- ... the reader and that to the bigger picture,) I need to tackle this last part in two parts. Hawthorne vs. Me: My experience of The Scarlet Letter was one that I have experienced with many school-motivated books: boredom. With few exceptions such as Childhood's End, Demian, and some various pieces from Kafka and Whitman, school-chosen books have not impressed me.

However, they are on completely opposite sides. Mond, we find, had previously been somebody like Helmholtz, who could think for himself.
