Which statement best describes the Gothic content of Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter? An unorthodox family struggles to be together in spite of a community's disapproval. Through faith, all sin can be washed away and individuals can start anew. A heartbroken husband cannot bear to part with his unfaithful wife and her offspring. Characters struggle with the ownership of sin, the shame of sin, and the vengeance of sin.

Answer:

The statement that best describes the Gothic content of Hawthorne's "The Scarlet Letter" is:

D. Characters struggle with the ownership of sin, the shame of sin, and the vengeance of sin.

Explanation:

There are several themes explored in Gothic literature, and sin is among them. In Hawthorne's "The Scarlet Letter", set in Puritan Boston of the 1600's, sin is the definitely the main theme. Of course, since the book was published in 1850, the concept of sin had been greatly altered. While the characters in the story suffer terribly from the accusations of being sinners, or the fear of being accused to be so, the society that actually read the book saw them as human beings who make mistakes and deserve forgiveness.

The main character, Hester Prynne, is shamed for being an adulteress. She is punished and shunned by a vengeful society. The very man who had an affair with her, on the other hand, hides his sin, afraid of owning up to it and being punished as well. For that reason, we can choose letter D as the best option: Characters struggle with the ownership of sin, the shame of sin, and the vengeance of sin.

Whitman uses rhyming couplets, but he intentionally breaks the flow and pattern of the couplets in the last four lines of each stanza. Notice, too, that rhymes are sometimes perfect (ex: "done" and "won"), but other times the rhymes are slant or near (ex: "bells" and "trills"). Why, do you suppose, Whitman decided to subtly break the traditional pattern?

Walking is the best way to see the Quechee Gorge. The gorge is known as the Grand Canyon of Vermont. When glaciers were melting during the last ice age, the moving water dug away at the bedrock of this area. The result is the magnificent Quechee Gorge with the Ottauquechee River running through it. Walking around the gorge provides visitors with exercise options and different perspectives.

First of all, walking the hiking trails provides tourists with the opportunity to exercise. Hikers may choose to walk along the pathways at the top of the gorge, which is a mile long. They can enjoy the fall colors and the fresh scent of pine trees. Adventurous individuals may choose to walk to the bottom of the gorge. The gorge is 165 feet deep, but the gravel hiking trail takes visitors safely to the bottom. There, hikers can take a break and remove their shoes. They can wade in the shallow waters or sit on a rock to rest. Then they can climb back to the top of the gorge.

Walking around the Quechee Gorge provides options. There are so many things to see! The lengths of the trails are listed, so hikers can decide how far they would like to walk. Visitors can walk along the top of the bridge overlooking the gorge. The bridge has a separate section for pedestrians that is separated from the roadway by a safety fence. Other hikers can walk to the dam and waterfall at the head of the gorge. If tourists get tired, they can rest at the Quechee Gorge Visitor Center or enjoy a meal in the picnic area beside the gorge. Visitors get to choose their adventure.

Finally, the Quechee Gorge is a photographer's dream because there are so many different perspectives to enjoy. At the dam, photographers can capture the smooth line of water falling over the dam into the turbulent waterfalls below. The bridge offers a magnificent view of the length of the gorge. Some photographers may wish to capture the steel curves of the bridge itself. Hikers can take pictures from different spots along the trail, including a picture of the same bridge from the bottom of the gorge. The bumpy rocks at the bottom of the gorge contrast with the smooth, rushing water of the river. With such a wealth of perspectives, even beginning photographers will produce phenomenal pictures.

Indeed, the perspectives, options, and physical exercise available at Quechee Gorge make this natural wonder a mandatory stop for walkers of all ages.

Which of the following sentences supports the author's point of view?

A. Finally, walking the Quechee Gorge is a photographer's dream because there are so many different perspectives to enjoy.
B. The bridge has a separate section for pedestrians, which is separated from the roadway by a fence for safety.
C. The bumpy rocks at the bottom of the gorge provide a distinct contrast against the smooth, rushing water of the river.
D. When glaciers were melting during the last ice age, the moving water dug away at the bedrock of this area.

Karlie read this excerpt from "Mad Cow, Furious Farmer."

Look around your house. Think about everything held up by the walls and floors. What if, say, just one corner of your house suddenly got squishy? What if the corner wiggled with the wind? Nearby walls and pipes and roofing would bend with it. If that corner was not fixed, it could eventually ruin your entire house!

That is a little like mad cow disease, a brain disease caused by a speck of material that eventually ruins the entire brain. The speck of material is called a "prion" and it is dangerous.

Karlie predicts that the main subject of this excerpt is about

how mad cow disease starts in the brain and can affect humans.
how scientists study the brain and detect anger and madness.
how prions can cause a barn to become unstable and dangerous.
how farmers should protect barns and houses from cows and other livestock.
