- ... shaped by society. His mutated outlook originates from the day he first came into existence. Slavery was as much a part of everyday life in the nineteenth century as the computer is in today's world. Slaves were viewed as an asset, not valued as people.

- 10645: Pearl - A Product Of Nature (T
- ... the key to why Pearl is such an odd child and why she acts so differently because she knows not the ways of man and Puritan society. She was born an "outcast of the infantile world. An imp of evil, emblem and product of sin, she had no right among christened infants"(71). She takes on the characteristics of Nature because Nature accepts her as one of its own. Nature, "that wild, heathen Nature of the forest, never subjugated by human law, nor illumined by higher truth"(162), is what Pearl is an image of. Pearl's character "lacked reference, and adaptation to the world into which she was born. The child could not be made amenable to rules"(69). These two quotes show a striking resemblance in description. In both cases Nature and Pearl are referred to as not ...

- ... on me. Students are in colleges because they are told to, or because they still want to be financially depend on their parents and not have to worry about growing up to face the real world. The author in her article writes such ideas. Furthermore, since colleges became a big industry in the 60s, and now the number of people attending has fallen, colleges use marketing skills to bring more ... and drop out, or just hang out and finish just because they think it is the right thing to do.

- ... witness to this sound, / and crown what I profess with kind event / If I speak true; if hollowly, invert / What best is boded me to mischief. I, / Beyond all limit of what else I' th' world, / Do love, prize honor you" (Act 3 sc. 1, p. 95). In modern terms, this means: "Lord, bear witness to what I say, and bless my claim (to this woman).
