Answer and Explanation:

This question is about the novel "The Scarlet Letter", by Nathaniel Hawthorne. Hester Prynne lives in Boston in the 1600s, when societal values were tremendously based on the concept of sin derived from the  Bible. <u>At a certain point, Hester is paraded through the streets to be pointed at for being an adulteress. However, she could find in herself some sort of courage, of defiance, to go through the public humiliation. Now that she is released from prison, her feelings are very different:</u>

<em>But now, with this unattended walk from her prison-door, began the daily custom, and she must either sustain and carry it forward by the ordinary resources of her nature, or sink beneath it. She could no longer borrow from the future, to help her through the present grief. To-morrow would bring its own trial with it;</em>

<u>Hester can now see the life ahead of her. She is aware that she will be forever shunned for her sin, living in loneliness. This is a much more torturous punishment for her than being paraded. There is nothing to look forward to, no change to come, no relief.</u>

For the non-believers category: Falling Rock, Spider, and Chaff.

For the wrath of God category: Storm, Bow, and Rough Wind.

"Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" is a classic sermon of the Great Awakening. The aim of the narrative and language employed is to impose a sense of fear. It tries to make clear that hell in fact exists and all the suffering that awaits us if we refuse to confess our sins and be saved by God.

3. My sister (don't like, <u>doesn't like</u>) school.

4. (<u>Is</u>, Are) a farmer's life stressful?

5. My parents (<u>don't listen to</u>, doesn't listen to) rock music.

Present continuous questions:

1. Are you cleaning the car?

2. Am I looking at the correct page?

3. Is the dog eating its dinner?

Present simple and continuous: (read, have, interview, watch, write, work, be)

1. Ben <u>reads</u> a book after lunch every day.

2. We <u>are working </u>at a club for three weeks in the holidays.

3. Cathy <u>watches </u>all the soap operas on TV.

4.Mick <u>has</u> a stressful lifestyle, he<u> is </u>a police officer.

5.I <u>am writing</u> a book about London. I am <u>interviewing</u> some businessman at the moment.

Explanation:

We use the present continuous to talk about a thing that is happening or that we are doing at the moment, to talk about plans and temporary situations.

To write affirmative sentences:

He, she, it + is+ verb with ing. For example, he is cooking.

We, you, they, you + are+ verb with ing. For example, you are watching a film.

I + am+ verb with ing. For example, I am running.

To make negative sentences:

He, she, it+ is not /isn't+ verb with ing. For example, He isn't cooking at the moment.

We, you, they, you+ are not/ aren't + verb with ing. For example, you aren't watching a film.

I+ am not+ verb with ing. For example, I am not running.

If we want to make questions, we write first the auxiliary verb and then the subject and the verb with ing. For example, Are you watching the show? , or is she cooking?

We use the present simple to talk about habits, general truths, and to express emotions.

To make affirmative sentences:

He, she it+ verb with s. For example, He drives to school every morning.

We, you, they, you+ verb without s. For example, they go to the bar every Saturday.

I + verb without s. For example, I love pasta.

To make negative sentences:

He, she it+ does not /doesn't + verb without s. For example, She doesn't drive to school every morning.

We, you, they, you, i+ do not/ don't+ verb without s. For example, We don't go to the bar every Saturday.

To make questions we write first the auxiliary does or do, depending on the subject, the subject and the verb without s. For example, do you like pizza? or does he eat lunch?
