Hester Prynne Nathaniel Hawthorne
1,743 words
Threads are rather insignificant by themselves. It
is when a weaver connects them together that they
form a beautiful tapestry. Each thread now
contributes to the quality of the tapestry and are
bound together by the common picture that form. In
a work of literature, each thread is an idea and
the common picture is a theme. In Nathaniel
Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter, each thread is an
ironic element of setting, and together, they
demonstrate people's tendency to seek shelter
from, instead of in...

The class of adjectives is one of the more
problematic ones in English grammar. In order to
see what kind of problems and questions we are
dealing with we need to address the following two
questions: what adjectives are, and how we can
recognize them. The most common answer to this
question, provided by most grammars, is
'adjectives modify nouns' (Pence, Hodges 51,
Johnson 31). This answer (or definition) may seem
obvious enough but, as Roberts notes, this
definition will lead to some serious di...

Wooden Structural Frame Traditional Chinese Architecture Structure
471 words
The basic feature of Chinese architecture is
rectangular-shaped units of space joined together
into a whole. Temples in ancient Greece also
employed rectangular spaces, but the overall
effect tended to austerity. The Chinese style, by
contrast, combines rectangular shapes varying in
size and position according to importance into an
organic whole, with each level and component
clearly distinguished. As a result, traditional
Chinese style buildings have an imposing yet
dynamic and intriguing exter...

... regions of this early temple are significant.
With 6 columns across the front and back and 16 on
each side (counting the corner columns twice), the
temple has a ratio of length to width of nearly
three to one. As time passed, Greek architects
felt these proportions were too elongated. They
progressively reduced the temples length relative
to its width, until by the mid- 5 th century the
ratio was slightly more than two to one. The
Parthenon in Athens (447 - 432 BC), for example,
