Lastly, in lieu of these shifting scenes, came back the rude market-place of the Puritan settlement, with all the townspeople as

sembled and levelling their stern regards at Hester Prynne,—yes, at herself,—who stood on the scaffold of the pillory, an infant on her arm, and the letter A, in scarlet, fantastically embroidered with gold thread, upon her bosom! What is the effect of the underlined words in this excerpt?

Answer:

Is repetitive and argumentative.

Explanation:

The effect of the underlined words: -yes, at herself- is repetitive and argumentative at the same time. Since in saying "to herself" she is saying the same thing but in other words and at the same time, she argues and reinforces what she says so that she understands more what she means. By saying "to herself" leads the reader to what is being said about the person.

<span>When elements within a list or sentence are parallel, the same word pattern is present.  In looking at the portion of this excerpt you have placed in quotation marks, there is repetition that is highlighted by Abraham Lincoln’s use of parallel structure with the words, “we cannot.”  The use of repetition here can certainly be seen to place an emphasis on the soldiers’ sacrifice on the ground (battlefield) being spoken about.  </span>

A man boards, he notices the lack of space in the front of the bus, so he stands in the aisle, the bus driver notices 4 African Americans sitting in the "white section"

Bus driver calling back: hey you (insert bad word) move to the back of the bus, this man needs a seat, and this ain't your place

The other people move, she stays seated.

Bus driver (shouting):Why don't you stand up?

She stays seated and says: I don't think I should have to stand up.

Bus driver picks up phone and calls the police.

A few minutes later

the police arrive, and ask her to move

She doesn't say anything,

the police:‘You’re now under arrest in violation of city ordinance for not sitting in the proper place.

She stays seated, they lift her up and escort her off straight to the police car.

Explanation:

I hope that this helps, this is the background research that I did, they did not handcuff her, and said she acted like a proper lady as they escorted her, good luck with you assignment.
