The Final Chapter

The final chapter of Paul Sonnino’s historical detective story describes the treatment of the jailed prisoners, specifically that of Eustache Dauger, or the Man in the Iron Mask, and Fouquet, the former minister of finances. In this section Sonnino claims that Dauger survived thirty-four years in jail by adopting homosexual tendencies. This passage is necessary because it clarifies the end of Eustache Dauger’s life and explains that the treatment of the prisoners depended on the king’s will.…

Erik Erikson’s final developmental stage, integrity versus despair, is fascinating to me for different reasons. Within this final stage, the elderly hold on to a certain pride of their younger years. Admiring everything that they did back in their day, even if it is something that might not always be something to be proud about. There are some elderly people who feel like they need to hold on to every little thing in their house. They just can’t find themselves throwing away the newspaper from…

Nathaniel Hawthorne, the author of The Scarlet Letter, is the man of the final words. He ends each chapter of the story powerfully, carefully, and importantly. The first chapter, The Prison-door, ending provides many ideas that reflected the themes in The Scarlet Letter: the role of females in society, false appearances, the decay of the old order; and offers a foresight to the general storyline. The image that stands out the most in the ending is the image of the rose-bush. In history, roses…

well as define the term "narrative structure" in conjecture to the criticism of narrative interpretation surrounding James novella. They preemptively discuss all other criticism and the manipulation of point of view which is later applied to their final assertion.

Our reading of chapter 19 this week explains on page 293 that “Both subjectivists and relativists regard people as the authors of morality. On both of these views, morality is made by and for human beings. Before we were around, nothing was right and wrong. If our species ever become extinct, morality will cease to exist. The fundamental difference between these two views is weather each person, or each society, gets to have the final say in ethics”. I believe that initially morality comes from…

Ferguson, in chapter three lays out the giving of the Holy Spirit in the book of Acts, while chapter 4 is more centered around not only the giving of the Holy Spirit during Pentecost, but also the transition of the holy Spirit from Jerusalem, to Judea and then Samaria.

runaway slave companion Jim. Even though readers praised the book, it has brought forth many criticisms. One critic, Chadwick Hansen, claims that by the end of the novel. Jim becomes a static, unchanging character. He states, “This Jim [in the final chapters] has lost all his dignity and become a subhuman creature who feels no pain and bleeds fresh ink. This Jim is flat, cheap type, and this Jim is a measure of the failure of the ending of Huckleberry Finn.” While he makes a valid criticism, Jim…

The Scarlet Letter: Topic and Description and Detail, Chapters 1-6 In my personal opinion, the first six chapters of the book are a little too obvious. I think that the author put too much detail into the story leaving little room for guessing at what will happen in the future. The first chapter contained little substance but large amounts of detail hinting that Puritan society had imprisoned someone socially and literally. In the second chapter, we learn of a woman Hester Prynne who has…
