(the scarlet letter) other than her sin of adultery what are Hester major character flaws? why would these be a problem in a Puritan community?​

Answer:

Hawthorne portrayed Hester as a passionate, courageous, and independent woman which is contradictory to the time when the text was written. She was a sinner who held her sin of adultery brave and becomes a victim when she gives up on the moral injustices of the puritan society.

The flaws in her character other than adultery would be her bold, rebellious, and fearful attitude acceptance of her crime, deciding to bring up Pearl herself, not removing the Scarlett letter even after her punishment, etc. These were a problem in the puritan community as they directly challenge and subvert the stereotypes and authority of the Puritan world.

Read the passages carefully. Explain how modality, medium, and format in the articles as well as in the museum itself have affected your understanding of modern slavery.

passage 1
"The museum has made it possible to lay out our argument about slavery from A to Z, in a sort of irrefutable package of completely documented and totally unimpeachable facts,” says CIW staff member Greg Asbed. "And when you can see the whole history and evolution of 400 years of forced labor in Florida’s fields assembled in one place, then all the false assumptions about what drives modern-day slavery just fall away. It’s not workers’ immigration status today, or a few rogue bosses, but the fact that farmworkers have always been Florida’s poorest, most powerless workers. Poverty and powerlessness is the one constant that runs like a thread through all the history. In short, you see, it’s not about who’s on the job today. It’s about the job itself. –"Modern Slavery,” Katrina vanden Heuvel

passage 2
Today, the CIW's focus is no longer uncovering cases of slavery. Instead, its aim is preventing them from happening in the first place through an initiative it calls the Fair Food Program. Participants in the program, which include 90% of tomato growers in Florida, allow CIW staff to come onto their properties and hold mandatory education sessions for all employees. The workers receive booklets that outline their rights and a hotline to call if they experience violations. The growers also agree to regular third-party inspections of their farms. When they visit, a team of auditors speaks confidentially with at least 50% of workers to ensure their rights are being respected. –"How America's ‘Ground-Zero’ for Modern Slavery Was Cleaned Up by Workers' Group,” Lisa Cohen

Draft, write, and edit your summary sentence for the coyote piece. Make sure to start your sentence with a capital and end with a period. When you have your final sentence ready, type or copy and paste it into the box below.

Many people believe that the dog is man's best friend. If this is the case, then the coyote is his worst enemy. The long, lean coyote can weigh 20 to 50 pounds. The bad reputation of the coyote goes back to his weakness for small animals. The coyote hunts at night and is particularly harmful to sheep, young pigs, and poultry. It is an intelligent animal. However, it is sometimes smart to have coyotes around. When valuable farm animals are protected, the coyote will often free the farm of other animals, like rabbits, which can ruin crops and certain trees. The coyote is especially helpful in keeping down the rodent population. Where coyotes have been allowed to do their work without interference from ranchers and fruit growers, they have found them so valuable that they would no more eliminate them than they would eliminate their own dogs.

I was leaving, too, without the hope of ever being allowed to return.
2. My new mistress proved to be all she appeared when I first met her at the door,--a woman of the kindest heart and finest feelings. She had never had a slave under her control previously to myself, and prior to her marriage she had been dependent upon her own industry for a living. She was by trade a weaver; and by constant application to her business, she had been in a good degree preserved from the blighting and dehumanizing effects of slavery. I was utterly astonished at her goodness. What effect does Douglass’s use of the adjectives "blighting and dehumanizing” have on the reader? A. They create an image of the quality of the mistress’s weaving. B. They emphasize the damage slavery causes to a slaveholder’s character. C. They describe the harsh treatment that Douglass received from his mistress. D. They illustrate the mistress’s kindness toward Douglass.
3. And, to cap the climax of their base ingratitude and fiendish barbarity, my grandmother, who was now very old, having outlived my old master and all his children, having seen the beginning and end of all of them, and her present owners finding she was of but little value, her frame already racked with the pains of old age, and complete helplessness fast stealing over her once active limbs, they took her to the woods, built her a little hut, put up a little mud-chimney, and then made her welcome to the privilege of supporting herself there in perfect loneliness; thus virtually turning her out to die! What effect does Douglass’s use of the words “welcome,” “privilege,” and “perfect” have in this paragraph? A. They are used sarcastically to emphasize the cruel treatment of his grandmother. B. They provide a contrast between the wealthy, powerful master and the enslaved person. C. They demonstrate the kind treatment Douglass’s grandmother received from her master. D. They are used to describe Douglass’s grandmother’s dreams of one day being set free.
4. I had two sisters and one brother, that lived in the same house with me; but the early separation of us from our mother had well nigh blotted the fact of our relationship from our memories. What effect does Douglass’s use of the word "blotted” have on the narrative? A. It creates the image of an unbreakable bond between Douglass and his family. B. It reminds the reader of the efforts that Douglass made to learn to write. C. It implies that Douglass and his siblings nearly forgot about their early lives. D. It emphasizes that Douglass felt he could rewrite elements of his past.

A. difficult to understand B. a selection or decision C. an expensive object D. of very good quality
