The character trait that Penelope demonstrated when she calls for the suitors to hold  a contest is her demonstrating cleverness, like Odysseus does when he tricks and overcomes his foes.

The other character that has a similar trait with Penelope is Odysseus.

Intelligence or Cleverness. Odysseus.

In the epic, Oysseus's intelligence or cleveness is highly valued. The goddess, Athena, favors Odysseus because of his intelligence. Penelope demonstrates this trait when she first tells the suitors that she will choose a husband after she has woven a tapestry. She unravels it at night so it is never complete. When they discover her trickery, they demand she choose a husband. To keep them at bay longer, she devises the contest. It is an incredibly difficult feat to shoot an arrow through the ax handles, but it is an acceptable contest because it has been previously completed, by Odysseus.

List at least four precise adjectives (words or phrases) that describe each of the four main characters from The Scarlet Letter:
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

1. Roger Chillingworth is a man deficient in human warmth. His twisted, stooped, deformed shoulders mirror his distorted soul. From what the reader is told of his early years with Hester, he was a difficult husband.

2.Hester Prynne is beautiful, her beauty barely compares to her strength of character. Even when she is punished for her crime of adultery and publicly humiliated by being forced to wear a scarlet A on her chest, Hester does not break. She remains exactly who she is: strong, kind, proud, but also humble.

3.Dimmesdale, the personification of "human frailty and sorrow," is young, pale, and physically delicate. He has large, melancholy eyes and a tremulous mouth, suggesting great sensitivity. An ordained Puritan minister, he is well educated, and he has a philosophical turn of mind.

4.The illegitimate daughter of Hester Prynne and Arthur Dimmesdale. Pearl serves as a symbol of her mother's shame and triumph. At one point the narrator describes Pearl as "the scarlet letter endowed with life." Like the letter, Pearl is the public consequence of Hester's very private sin.

What's the purpose of Daly's "Sixteen"?
egoroff_w [7]
I think that the purpose of Daly's "Sixteen" is TO SERVE AS A LESSON TO OTHER GIRLS.

At 16, you think you know everything there is to know just like the character in the story. She always say's "I know...." and because of what she knew, she had expectations. She expected that the boy she met in the skating rink will call her after spending time with her, walking her home, and telling her that he'd call. She was emotionally invested but she got disappointed. The boy did not call and in the end of the story, she knew that he will never, ever, call.
