Answer:
The origin of the rosebush was that it grew from the exact spot where Anne Hutchinson had entered the prison after she had been tried and excommunicated for her decision in criticizing the authority of the Puritanical society.
This rosebush an be taken as a symbol for the beauty, carefree yet enduring resilience of the plant against the surrounding nature and its forces.
Explanation:
Nathaniel Hawthorne claims that some people believe the rose bush at the entrance of the prison doors sprang "<em>up under the footsteps of the sainted Ann Hutchinson, as she entered the prison-door</em>". Anne Hutchinson had questioned the authority of the puritanical society of her time in Massachusetts bay Colony. She had also questioned the status of women in the society, blaming it for their submissive nature. She wants women to have the same right as men and also criticized the religious leaders of taking advantage of their power to be authority over all matters.
The wild rosebush in "The Scarlet Letter" symbolizes the nature side of humanity. Hester Prynne's demoralizing character after being convicted of adultery was supposed to make her life a never ending humiliating life. But the wild and beautiful rosebush, which was strong and enduring shows the free, beautiful and carefree nature that is in stark contrast with the sad, punishing reality of her life. It represents the possibility of life even within the confines of the 'supposed' realm of the society.

<em>Answer:</em>
<em>King’s imagery focuses on two categories in his imagery: landscape and time. He encourages African Americans to be discontent with the inequalities they face and to push for more freedom: “Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice; now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood” (King 103). Valleys typically symbolize as a low point out of which it is difficult to escape. The sun symbolizes enlightenment and a bright future in which all people are equal. In addition, quicksand symbolizes a trap from which it is hard to rise, while the “solid rock of brotherhood” is a dependable and stable goal toward which they strive. King not only addresses the struggles which lie before them, but he also illustrates the future rewards of their efforts: “We will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream” (King 104). Water is used as a rejuvenating and cleansing image, which is appropriate when depicting a civil rights revolution, as the hope is that people will shed their prejudices and racism for a more sophisticated and compassionate stance.</em>

God I hated this story but, In the short story, "Harrison Bergeron", the American Government controls its citizens using cruel and sadistic methods like mental and physical handicaps, severe death penalties for disobeying the law, and using propaganda to make its citizens blindly follow their government to ensure everyone is 'equal'.
