self-security: we see a tight, predictable rhyme
scheme, and an ordered structure. There is also
arguably a wealth of rhetorical resources - Donne
does not shy away ...

Scarlet Letters filmmaker, Roland Joffe, mastered
the coloring of his film just as Hawthorne did. An
interesting visual cue he used was a slight,
brilliant red bird. The bird first glided across
the screen when Hester was planting her garden.
Joffe silenced all background noise and music
while the bird, in nearly slow motion, flapped out
of the forest. The effect was hazy and surreal;
all focus was on the radiant animal. Time resumed

The Great Gatsby, a novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald,
is set in 1922 in the New York City area. It is

lived amongst the ashes. You could have the chance
of being like th...
