Answer:

The act of marking Hester Prynne with a scarlet letter maintains discipline in the community, as other people become afraid of being similarly shamed.

Explanation:

In <em>Scarlet Letter</em>, Hester Prynne is punished for adultery. Her husband has been lost at sea. Meanwhile, Hester had a relationship with another man and gave birth to a child. For that reason, and because she does not reveal the identity of child's father, she is forced to wear a scarlet letter.

Hester is publicly humiliated, and people want to avoid such a shame. By using Hester's example, the authorities want to warn people what will happen if they not abide by the rules established in their society. The act of marking Hester with scarlet letter is conceived to frighten people.

After reading "Four Freedoms," read this excerpt from Lincoln’s "Gettysburg Address.”
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

The importance of equality.

The importance of freedom.

Explanation:

"Four Freedoms" by President Roosevelt listed the four important freedoms that every man must be given- freedom of speech, worship, and freedom from want and fear. These, to the President, are necessary for any nation to flourish and for the people to live their lives.

Likewise, President Lincoln's speech at "Gettysburg" also expounded on the same values of freedom. His statement<em> "all men are equal" </em>and that the dedication of that space (Gettysburg) is important for the men who gave their lives for the security of others shows his belief and emphasis on the importance of freedom and equality.

Thus, the correct answers are freedom and equality.
