- 9703: Scarlet Letter- Pearl
- Scarlet Letter- Pearl Pearls have always held a great price to mankind, but no pearl had ever been earned at as high a cost to a person as Nathaniel Hawthorne s powerful heroine Hester Prynne.

- CHARACTER ANALYSIS OF HAGAR SHIPLEY In Margaret Laurence s novel, The Stone Angel, Hagar Shipley is the main character.

The U.S. learned that the Soviets were building nuclear missile bases on Cuba because the Soviets wanted to close the missile gap.
