This is because the author was a renowned political figure for most of his life, where it would be within reason to assume he had a…
Especially significant in Huck’s “illuminating incident” (Wharton), when he makes the decision to tear up the letter, is his memory of the episode with the slave catchers when Huck is so struck by Jim’s declaration that Huck is the “‘...de ole true Huck; de on’y white genlman dat ever kep’ his promise to ole Jim’” (92) that he cannot bring himself to leave Jim to the slave-catchers. During his “illuminating incident” (Wharton), Huck embodies Twain’s belief that “all moral perceptions are…
or bad as long as the meaning of the ratings is clearly communicated. The most effective way to use a 5-point scale is to rate most employees as 2’s, 3’s or 4’s (solid performers at different levels of effectiveness) and treat the 1 and 5 as exclamation points that indicate a clear need for action with regard to an employee’s performance.

assured me there was nothing lurking beneath. I had commenced with my usual, self-taught execution of faceplants into the wave’s breaking face when I heard the scattered remains of a shout amid the seaweed saturated seaspray. Startled by his bold exclamation, I eagerly inquired “Excuse me?” to the sun-wrinkled longboarder afloat behind me. “Come further up on the board and the waves will catch themselves.” He hollered. Recognition slid into place. This was the man who had been out on this…
At Gatsby’s party when Nick and Jordan are looking for Gatsby they head into the library and stumble upon “Owl Eyes” a drunk man who is regarding the books with exclamations of shock. “Absolutely real-- have pages and everything. I thought they’d be a nice durable cardboard. Matter of fact they’re absolutely real,” (50). While it may appear to be just a drunk man babbling what he is saying is an example of subtle symbolism…

Pearl, feeling protective of her mother, would take a stand against these children. “Pearl would grow positively terrible in her puny wrath, snatching up stones to fling at them, with shrill, incoherent exclamations that made her mother tremble…” (Hawthorne 84). Feminist women would have supported Hester and Pearl, no matter what they were going through. Overall, The Scarlet Letter is not a feminist novel because Hester is a stereotypical woman…
