Before Dimmesdale kills himself, he admits his sin to the whole town. Also, Dimmesdale receives treatment from Hester’s husband, Chillingworth, who knows their secret, and is trying to get revenge on them both. Chillingworth ends up realizing that he is going insane with trying to get revenge and believes that he has sinned more than both of them. The novel The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne uses satire to poke fun of the Puritan attitude toward sinning and the punishments of sinning. The reader learns from the text that the Puritan religion looked down on the idea of sin and punishes sinners harshly.
The structure and meter of both poems is thus: six quatrains (four line stanzas) of iambic tetrameter (eight syllables or four iambs in each line), with an AABB rhyme scheme in each stanza. In keeping the same form as the poem which is the source of Raleigh’s inspiration, he allows the reader to focus on the differences in tone and mood between the prompting work and the response, rather than differences in structure. In Marlowe’s work, the Shepherd passionately invites his love to flee the coarseness of the world and find peace in a place of eternal spring and love, urging her to “Come live with me and be my love, And we will all the pleasures prove” (Marlowe 1-2).

“The Raven” focuses more on symbolism and tone to provide the reader with a glimpse into the mindset of a man stricken with the memories of a lost love. On the contrary, “The Things They Carried” uses epiphanies and imagery to let the reader experience the guilt that Lieutenant Cross experiences after the loss of his comrade. The conflict in “The Things We Carried” is resolved when Lieutenant Cross decides to forego his feelings for Martha and atone for his mistakes by leading the rest of the platoon to the best of his ability. On the other hand, “The Raven” holds no clear resolution for the reader. The story ends with the main character sinking more deeply into his own despair.

How about this week? This month even?” Putting these questions aside for a minute, if one were to read Ha Jin's poem “Missed Time,” he/she might not immediately be able to pick out some of what Ha Jin is saying to his audience. An easy assumption is that Ha Jin was simply “wasting” his time instead of doing something meaningful like pursuing his writing.

the mass of the Northern community, whose timidity had been startled at Brown's rash attempt, whose, sympathy had been more or less awakened by his bearing and his death, but who were and are in a painful state of perplexity, in the endeavor to reconcile their abhorrence, or at least their disapproval of his attack on Virginia, with their sense of the admirable nature of the qualities he displayed.... [But the tone of this biography is] . . . so violent, so extravagant, that it will offend all right-thinking men. ".
In "Autobiographia Literaria" by Frank O'Hara, the speaker talks about how he spends his childhood all alone. Both poems have the speakers that are in conflict with others around them because they are different. Although both Hughes's and O'Hara's poems talk about each of the speakers’ personal experiences, the general ideas that they convey are different. Hughes uses foreshadowing to show the speaker’s boldness within the racial discrimination and O'Hara uses authorial intrusion to show the speaker’s distance with people. Hughes's foreshadowing indicates the speaker’s optimistic future that is planned for himself, while O'Hara's authorial intrusion shows the speaker’s struggles and his position in the poem intensively to get understandings from the readers.
