The scarlet letter is a novel written by Nathaniel Hawthorne. Bear in mind that the novel is set in the 17th century, in a puritan society.

In it, Hester Prynne, an adulteress is forced to wear a scarlet "A"  as evidence of her adultery.  She's got a baby daughter, Pearl, but her husband has been away for two full years. Despite all the shaming, Hester protects Pearl's father from punishment by refusing to give up his name.

Hawthorne describes Hester's experience as ACCEPTANCE. She knows she has been an adulteress and she refuses to tell who her lover was. She prefers to live for 7 years being looked down by every inhabitant of the town than to expose his lover.

After her lover is dead and her husband left his inheritance to Hester's daughter, she has the opportunity to get a new life ( as Pearl is already married), but she prefers to go back to the village, and resume her life of penance and grieve, finally to be buried next to her lover, with a gigantic A engraved in their tombs.

Review the image.
KATRIN_1 [288]

Labels for the parts of the brain should be added to the image to support the claim "Every section of the brain has a unique function".

These labels should be added in order to make the presentation or article more effective. <u>Adding the names of the parts of the brain to the picture will allow the readers to be more oriented but it will also make the ideas presented easier to understand.</u> In other words, it will be easier for the readers to follow the reading and to understand the function that each part of the brain has if they know where the different sections are located.

____ [38]

Answer:

We were returning after football match late in the evening. As we were walking through the rather lonely road, we heard footsteps behind us…

“Hey, you forgot your backpack”, a little girl handed me the blue and red backpack.  

            “Oh, Thanks”, I mumbled, confused.  

 

The girl ran away very quickly and hoppity. Strange, I thought. On our way home, I couldn’t stop thinking about that odd little girl. I never saw her at any of the practices. Maybe it was the coach’s daughter? Even if it was, would he really let his daughter chase after people when they left things behind? I shook my head and tried to forget that it even  

When I got home, I threw the backpack on the couch, an everyday routine. My mom mumbled something about “Don’t do that” as I was heading to the kitchen. I ignored her and went to get a snack. Suddenly, the backpack started making noises. It was very faint.  

I was torn between going to check out the noises and staying and hiding behind the counter. I had to admit; I was scared. Maybe the girl put ghost in it, I didn’t know.  

The noises started getting louder and louder. My mom complained, thinking that I was making the loud noises.  I approached the bag, very slowly. I was very hesitant. When I got up the courage, I opened the bag. It was full of kittens, luckily not hurt by the fall.
