As a result, Holden is very careful not to use other characters as a means for his own ends. In many ways he is unable to deflect the unexpressed pressures that every teen male feels, to have s .....

.... years copying the blueprints of the circuit design. Francis copies the design so carefully he mistakenly believes the color of the paper is important to the design of the circuit. Francis is set on mindlessly copying the blueprint he does not realize what the circuit design is for, and what is does. Brother Francis thinks regressively. The monks copy out the blueprints, and then do nothing with them. As a society we do the same thing today. In school students copy notes off the blackboard blindly, they do not know what they are copying. Therefore, they do not understand the content.

.... himself from his nurturing mother and finally become a man, he decides to fight in battle. As soon as Henry enters battle, this motivation to become a man softens to a mere whisper -- Henry is afraid. He, too, threw down his gun and fled. There was no shame in his face.

Not many people can relate to a super hero who can face all fears, but they can relate to a person who shows fear, without shame, in a frightening situation. Inspiringly, Henry finally does face his fear of the harsh realties of battle. In the end, Henry has overcome his fear and .....

.... appeared doomed in Hawthorne’s eyes, and unnatural. Hester doomed herself when she married Chillingsworth, certified that doom when she committed adultery, and finalized that doom when she concealed Chillingsworth’s identity from Dimmesdale. The effects these events had were the separation from her society, her lover, her husband, her child, and her own best self. She did it all in the name of sanctity, for true love, and she paid the price. Dimmesdale was changed by the affair in a way that “ [he] grew emaciated; his voice, though still rich and sweet had a [tone] of decay.” As a believing Puritan, Dimmesdale saw himsel .....

.... was best not to get involved with these children. She wasn't in agreement for what was happening to them, but she wasn't prepared to take a side for them. She seemed to follow the passive way of so many others in the world of just thinking that maybe what was happening was right and they must have had some clarification for it. "Everything connected with Caraolas is neck deep in politics. I am certain that the British have their reasons. I don't wish to take sides" (,pg51) Kitty is confused, and most likely doesn't understand anything at this point, so she decides to go along with the stupidity of the British. The first slight change that we see in K .....

.... he hid that vast inheritance dear to his people . . . . . . a kingdoms bounty, priceless rings and plated gold a worthy hoard! (2232-36,2244-46)” In The Hobbit the dragon is introduced by saying: “there he lay, a vast red-golden dragon, fast asleep . . . Beneath him, under all his limbs and his huge coiled tail, and about him on all sides stretching away across the unseen floors, lay countless piles of precious things, gold wrought and unwrought, gems and jewels, and silver red-stained in the ruby light.
