people should act and look like something that
most people arent. Appearance is a main issue of
society today. People look more at looks of one
person more than their personality or abilities.
Growing old is frowned upon and more people try to

surgery, taking pills, or using creams. Most
people dont really care about what is on the
inside because they are more concerned with other
superficial things that do...

Made Themselves Ready House Of Seven

American Literature reflects life, and the
struggles that we face during our existence. The
great authors of our time incorporate life's
problems into their literature directly and
indirectly. The stories themselves bluntly tell us
a story, however, an author also uses symbols to
relay to us his message in a more subtle manner.
In Nathaniel Hawthorne's book The House of Seven
Gable's symbolism is eloquently used to enhance
the story being told, by giving us a deeper
insight into the author's int...

new studies centers not upon crime trends,
statistics, or policing, but upon a topic

so harrow their communities that they become
sensations, attracting crowds to the courtroom and
prompting publishers to ex...
