Answer:

because they wanted to make a better living. Others received letters from friends or family members who had moved west. These letters often told about a good life on the frontier. The biggest factor that pulled pioneers west was the opportunity to buy land.

What were the reasons for Westward expansion? Ever since the first pioneers settled in the United States at the East , the country has been expanding westward. When President Thomas Jefferson bought the Louisiana territory from the French government in 1803, it doubled the size of the existing United States. Jefferson believed that, for the republic to survive, westward expansion was necessary to create independent, virtuous citizens as owners of small farms. He wrote that those who “labor the earth” are God’s chosen people and greatly encouraged westward expansion. The pioneers who flocked to the West, all had their own set of reasons for taking on the long, treacherous journey to settle there.

Reasons for Moving West:
1. There was a vast amount of land that could be obtained cheaply
2. Great reports were continually sent back East about how fruitful and wonderful the West is, sparking a lot of interest.
3. The constraints of European civilization had a lot of people stuck in factory and other low-paid jobs. For the working class it was almost impossible to work themselves up in life, something that was very doable in the New World.
4. Mining opportunities, silver, and the gold rush was a big draw for many
5. The expanding railroad provided easier access to supplies, making life in the West easier.
6. Certain wheat strains were discovered and was capable of adapting to the climate of the plains
7. Being a “cowboy” and working on farms with cattle was romanticized
8. The lure of adventure

Hawthorne alludes, or refers, to the Virgin Mary in Chapter 2 in the Scarlet Letter. Why is this allusion appropriate? Why is it
shtirl [24]

Answer:

Hawthorne alludes, or refers, to the Virgin Mary in Chapter 2 in the Scarlet Letter.

a) This allusion is appropriate as Hawthorne compares Hester's pregnancy to the Virgin Mary's conception of the child Jesus.  The two could be said to have become pregnant without their natural husbands.

b) However, the allusion becomes inappropriate and ironic because Hester conceived by committing adultery.  On the other hand, the Virgin Mary became pregnant by the power of the Holy Spirit and not through sexual intercourse with any human being.

c) Hawthorne was simply satirizing the Puritans to the effect that they did not practice what they claimed that they believed in.  They were just sanctimonious, harboring impure thoughts, and committing sins with reckless abandon.  They also tried to deny human sexual needs; at the same time, they were busy secretly satisfying their sexual appetites.

Explanation:

The Scarlet Letter (1850) was authored by Nathaniel Hawthorne.  The historical fiction chronicled some important human realities, including guilt, stigmatization, revenge, and redemption.  It contrasted Hester's public humiliation for adultery, as she was forced to wear the scarlet letter A, with Dimmesdale's private shame and anguish for private sins.
