As shown in this quote by John Wilson, What say you to it once again brother Dimmesdale? Must it be thou or I that shall deal with this poor sinners soul? (Hawthorne 47). Dimmesdale clearly did not want to persecute Hester, but ... any unacceptable messages (4). Wilson, the most respected pastor in Boston, and Winthrop, the Governor of Massachusetts, decided Anne Hutchinson s teachings must stop when her brother-in-law was accused of sedition. According to John Winthrop, Anne Hutchinson infected other members of her family with her beliefs ( Anne Hutchinson 5). In the same way, Hester Prynne went against the belief of society by counseling and helping other people. She was ... was God s gift to his elect and could not be earned by human effort: the soul remained passive to the work of divine grace in the drama of salvation (2).

In The Custom House he talks of Matthew(5) who is a tax collector in his gospel, Hawthorne relates this to the collection of customs.

- 1597: Harrison Ainsworth Rookwood An
- ... started his writing career as a writer of Gothic stories for various magazines. Gothic elements are included in Ainsworth s novel: the ancient hall, the family vaults, macabre burial vaults, secret marriage, and so forth (John, 1998, p. 30). Rookwood is a story about two half-brothers in a conflict over the family inheritance. The English criminal who Ainsworth decides to entangle in Rookwood was Dick Turpin, a highwayman executed in 1739. However, echoing Bulwer, Ainsworth s explanation for his interest in Dick Turpin (like Bulwer s explanation in his choice of Eugene Aram as a subject) is personal and familial (John, 1998, p. 31). Though the basis of the novels seem similar, Ainsworth treated Dick Turpin in a different way than Bulwer treated Eugene Aram. Ainsworth romanticizes history, but basically sticks to the facts (as far as he knew them). Perhaps more importantly, Ainsworth does not pretend that the Turpin he invents is the real Dick Turpin, nor does he attempt to elevate Turpin s social class status (John, 1998, p. 32). Ainsworth recalls lying in bed listening to the exploits of Dauntless Dick , as narrated by his father. Despite Ainsworth s infatuation with the criminal, the real Turpin was no more interesting ...

- 1600: Hackers
- ... the criminal element. Correspondingly, some reject the notion that there are different roles and motivations among computer underground participants and thereby 21 refuse to define just what it is that a "hacker" or "phreaker" does. John Maxfield, a "hacker expert," suggests that differentiating between "hackers" and "phone phreaks" is a moot point, preferring instead that they all just be called "criminals" (WGN-Radio. Sept 28, 1988). The reluctance or inability to ... obtain protected information or more powerful access privileges.5 Phreaking Another role in the computer underground is that of the "phone phreak."

John Maxfield, a computer security consultant, has asserted that there are "thousands" of phreak/hack ____________________ 13 Pirate boards are normally "system specific" in that they only support one brand or model of microcomputer. 43 boards ...
