“In Analysis: Should the Government Change the Driving Age” When you look around the world all you see is regulations after regulations. For a while the state wanted to put a curfew on the teenagers. Is there such a thing as freedom? Why does the government want to control and change things? Things are going well enough as they are, why change? Although there are pros to changing the driving age to eighteen, there are more pros to keeping it the same and not changing it because of a few car accidents. The first pro to keeping the driving age the same is that kids are already breaking the law. There are so many kids that drive to school every day that are under age. Sure some of those kids have farmer permits, but that means they can’t go anywhere from home, school, and work. That doesn’t necessarily mean they follow the rules and don’t go anywhere, like let’s say lunch during the week. Many people cruise main at night and you can bet that most of the teenagers are either fourteen or fifteen. Parents have to go to work and some are early so they make their kids drive to school. Well, if we change the age to eighteen then the kids will be illegally driving to school until halfway through their senior year of high school. That brings me to my next point. Kids need practice. If we change the driving age then kids won’t have enough time practicing and perfecting their driving skills. They want to change the age because of accidents. In my experience of the parking in the back parking lot with a big truck, I have never been run into nor have I ever ran into somebody else. Now there is the occasional run in with a park car from other students. These accidents are not a big deal, nobody gets killed. My point here is saying that the “accidents” that teenagers are getting into or causing are never too serious. Sooner or later the kids are going to have to learn how to drive and if you change the driving age most of the kids will be learning when they go off to college. Then, they will get into accidents while they are away. “Behind these eyes there is a girl trapped within her pain – a girl feeling all the emotions of anger and sadness. She’s fighting for a way out,” Chimnese Davids, Muses of Wandering Passions. This relates to The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne because throughout the story Hester Prynne feels a lot of different emotions. The Scarlet Letter is about a girl who commits adultery. She gets pregnant with a daughter that she names Pearl. For her punishment Hester has to stand on a scaffold for a few hours. During that time and for the rest of her life living in Salem, Massachusetts she has to wear a scarlet “A”. The “A” was constructed from red cloth and outlined in gold thread. The Fathers of the town use this not only as a punishment, but similarly to frighten other girls away from sin. Authors use symbols in their novel to represent objects and viewpoints. In The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne there are numerous symbols for the letter “A”. The letter “A” initially symbolizes sin in The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne. Hester Prynne has to wear the scarlet letter for punishment. The community makes her wear it because she committed adultery. A handful of people believe Pearl …show more content…
The letter “A” exhibited Hester’s talent and artistry. When she was being shunned Hester did needlework to create a living. Hard work and charity were what transformed the significance of the letter “A” from sin to identity. Although the symbol improved from a negative implication to a positive one, there could be a large number of extra symbols. For example, many people believed that it meant angel or alone. Literature doesn’t work in the sense of having symbols mean one representation only. Symbols are meant to be interpreted in several ways or however a person understands that symbol. “Symbolism exists to adorn and enrich, not to create an artificial sense of profundity,” Stephen King, On Writing: A Memoir of the
