Answer:

Explanation:Hawthorne had very profound connect with his puritan ancestors and thus crafted a work especially "The Scarlett Letter" where he had both admired the strengths and criticized the follies of puritan belief system. <em>He fulfilled both his duties, as a descendent of puritans he highlighted their values of perseverance, integrity, moral courage, inner strength and beliefs in detail and as a writer foregrounded the shallowness of their rigid and prejudicial norms which had split the society not merely based on religion but gender too.</em> He had strictly opposed the stern and repressive nature of the puritans as it left no space for "Individual freedom". Through Dimmesdale and Chillingworth, he represents the firmness and hard work of puritans and through Hester contradicts the very belief system of them. Even after an attempt to fulfill both his responsibilities, Hawthorne keeps the conflict alive as both Dimmesdale and Chillingworth were "sinners" as per their deeds but still considered to be the respectable part of the society while Hester was an "outcast".

Answer:

The song “Dance with the Devil” by Immortal Technique uses various literary and poetic devices to convey the reality and dangers of the gangster illusion. The primary devices utilized in the song include imagery, allusion, alliteration, and point of view.

Imagery is possibly the most powerful device used throughout “Dance with the Devil”. Immortal Technique uses imagery to captivate the dark, graphic, and realistic actions and consequences associated with those who attempt to follow the gangster images portrayed in the mainstream hip-hop media.
