Chapter ten The Leech And His Patient is about Chillingworth's "investigation" of Dimmesdale to clarify that he is the father of Pearl. Chillingwoth goes to extremes when he becomes "fiercely obsessed by his search into Dimmesdale's heart". When having a heated convesation with Dimmesdale, Chillingworth raises a question about "why a man would be willing to carry "secret sins" to his grave rather than confess them during his lifetime." Dimmesdale reminds Chillingworth that most men do not confess their sins and that they are rewarded peace. But Pearl shocks the men in this chapter when she and Hester show up and Pearl flicks a prickly bur and Dimmesdale.
Brigham Young once said, “Why do we worry about what others think of us, do we have more confidence in their opinions than we do our own?” One of the many stories in Tales From the Thousand and One Nights is “The Historic Fart, “ story about a man who lets out a loud fart on his wedding night. He is extremely ashamed and embarrassed, and runs off never to be seen again. This is a great example about how caught up people are in caring about what others think of them. Through the psychoanalytical approach we can see why people care what others think, how it relates to “The Historic Fart”, and how it is still prevalent in today’s culture. Everyone worries about what people think of them at some time or another, but why do we care so much?
My sympathy with its theme is complete. My admiration is also genuine for the way in which the movie shows its truest triumph by demonstrating the racial intolerance which haunts the hearts and minds of nice people who think of themselves as liberals. This movie is memorable for numerous vivid, impelling passages. For instance, the breakfast scene, when Green tries to explain anti-Semitism to his innocent little son, stamps the picture’s urgent theme on the spectator’s mind virtually at once. Other under forgettable moments are when the son tells his father of being taunted by his playmates, Phil’s childlike terror at his mother’s heart attack, Kathy’s reaction when Phil reveals the “angle” for his magazine series, Phil’s helpless rage at the “restricted” resort hotel, the scene with Anne and the unconscious bigot in the cocktail bar, Dave’s conversation with Kathy about her passive disapproval of “nice” anti-Semites.
Towards the end of the Kite Runner has a lot of of irony, The first example is in chapter seven in the Kite runner and how Amir watches Hassan get rapped he does nothing to help his friend out.

Paul’s Case is a short story by Willa Cather wrote in 1904 and first published in 1905. In the story of Paul’s Case, we learn that he is an eccentric young man who feels like he does not fit in with his community. Paul resorts to brilliant lies; lives vicariously through theater, art, and music to escape from the cold clutches of his reality. In the following paragraphs, I will be discussing the elements of Paul’s life that ultimately lead to his tragic suicide. The story opens up with Paul entering the principal’s office.
"The Scarlet Ibis," by James Hurst, was first published in the July 1960 issue of the Atlantic Monthly magazine. The story focuses on the troubled relationship between two young boys: the narrator and his mentally and physically disabled brother, Doodle. It explores the conflicts between love and pride and draws attention to the effects of familial and societal expectations on those who are handicapped. The perspective of Brother’s pride becomes a negative and positive in his life. Embarrassment is part of negative pride for Brother.
Cather uses symbols of color in her story to build the character Paul in her short story, “Paul's Case.” When explaining Paul’s feelings toward where he lives, “he approached it tonight with the nerveless sense of defeat, the hopeless feeling of sinking back forever into ugliness and commonness that he had always had when he came home” (168). Vainness is another feature that portrayed to make the audience feel as if he were one’s own son and deserved a beating; “Paul entered the faculty room suave and smiling” (164), shows a boy often having no respect for his elders. Cather portrays Paul’s character as a daydreamer who lives in a fantasy world and cannot come to terms with reality. He wanted to live the life of the rich and famous, “he reflected upon the mysterious dishes that were brought into the dining-room, the green bottles in buckets of ice, as he had seen them in the supper party pictures of the Sunday supplement”
Considered a lasting classic, this story tells the tale of an orphaned boy named Pip, who after living a cruel and unfortunate childhood, comes suddenly into a magnificent fortune, and is embedded with the great expectations of leaving his lowly village, and becoming a high society gentleman. It is through this pressing plot that Dickens brings to light, the deep social stratosphere that once ruled his great nation. The social separation between the working class and the wealthy in Great Expectations psychologically encompasses each individual’s mind and results in discrimination through the characters’ sense of materialism, opportunity and aspiration, and physical work. To begin with, throughout the story, materialism plays a highly influential role in how the characters and classes judge each other. The possessions that each person owns, and the way in which they act, clearly mark and divide them according to the popular sense of what is fashionable and appropriate for the times.
