What is significant about hawthorne’s mention of his ancestors in the introduction to the novel?

English

I think the novel being discussed is The Custom-House by Hawthorne.

In the preface of the book, Hawthorne mentioned his ancestors. He has mixed feelings about them. He feels connected to them because of their blood connection but he dislikes their stern morality and rigidity as Puritans. 

They are also relevant in the novel because Hawthorne drew inspiration from them by making their intolerance and lack of humanity the subject of the novel.

Mama L [17]
When considering two part f devices in this poem, this would then be the following:

How much this person would appreciate thee.

And why she would appreciate thee.

I wanted to discuss the first one.

"How much this person would appreciate thee.".

She would appreciate this thee very much as when see said in the poem,

 "<span>I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death."

This would show and support to why she would have respect and appreciation for thee.

Now when considering the second device, we can see why she would love this thee.

We can see based on the following:

</span>"<span>How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace.
I love thee to the level of every day's 5".

This would then show why she would love the thee.

And based on all of this, the relation to this would be the fact that this person would love thee, and why she would, and how she would love it until the day of her/his death.</span>

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

Well, although the most prevalent example right now is of course the coronavirus pandemic, events like this have happened all throughout history. Think of the Black Death: it swept through Europe, killing tens of thousands and pretty much ending the system of feudalism. Though in modern times these pandemics have less potential to upend systems, they remain game changers. The H1N1 epidemic - the Spanish flu - sent shockwaves throughout the globe because of its scope and lethality.
