There will be a merry company in the forest; and I well-nigh promised the Black Man that comely Hester Prynne should make one (Hawthorne Rubio 2 113).” She plays up this label usually applied to her so she can end her life soon and thus be with her Lord and beloved husband. Another way Mistress Hibbins shows this theme is that, she the governors sister, is allowed to go about her business unreproached even thought it is believed by the whole town
Research Paper President Obama's New Deal vs. President Roosevelt's New Deal The original new deal that was proposed by President Franklin Roosevelt in the 1930's during the great depression many columnists believe that it has been revamped into something that President Barack Obama believes can jumpstart the American economy. Since both of these men are from the Democratic Party and were voted into office by the American people under the promise that they would and could help jumpstart the economy that would lead to a decrease in unemployment. They both had a huge responsibility to the American people to hit the ground running. And although the similarities of the deals are almost to uncanny to be coincidence they each had key ideas on how to get the American people back into the workforce. I will be focusing on just a few key areas that have been struck due to the recession for President Obama and the Great Depression for President Roosevelt and how each man either fixed the problem or is attempting to.

Most people who are familiar with Cinderella have little understanding of the subliminal messages associated and the consequences involved. To many, Cinderella is a harmless story of a young girl who struggles through life, is finally able to achieve her dreams, and lives happily ever after. In reality, the patriarchal gender expectations and rewards associated with Disney’s Cinderella can be damaging to young girls and their self-image. Therefore, in order to render the misogynistic ideologies of these stories invalid, modern pedagogy should be recreated to incorporate potential empowerment for both genders.

A Doll’s House Many times a writer’s work can be misread to mean something far from the original intent. In the case of Henrik Ibsen's A Doll House, Ibsen never intended to write a play about the feminist moment. He was a humanist, and the feminist themes that many say surface don't really exist. In A Doll House we are confronted with Nora, a strong and to some, even heroic female protagonist. We see Ibsen's doll like family as the victim of an unfortunate set of circumstances and stereotypes set in motion by the society of the time period.
