Hester Prynne, an adulteress who is about to be released from prison. Hester is being led to the gallows, where she must be publicly ashamed for having committed adultery. Hester is required to wear the letter A on her dress at all times. She has sewn a large scarlet A, giving the letter an air of elegance. Hester takes Pearl, his daughter, with her. On the scaffolding she is asked to reveal the name of Pearl's father, but she refuses. In the crowd, Hester recognizes her Amsterdam husband, Roger Chillingworth. Despite all the shame, Hester protects Pearl's father from punishment by refusing to renounce his name. The parade of adultery (the worst parade of all time) spreads through the city when the lost husband of Hester Prynne arrives in disguise!...

I just came from France, the capital of Paris.

Everyone told me that I would have a great time. They told me that there was a lot to see there. They were right! Paris is a city with a long history, but it's also a very modern city. I visited the museum, and it's very modern. Besides visiting the tourist attractions, Paris is one of the most environmentally friendly cities in the world. The air is so clean! The manager explained that they used renewable energy sources and that they recycled waste.

I really recommend a visit!

A Balanced Diet

Have you noticed how many people in recent years are unhappy due to excess weight? This has become a serious health problem for many young people who, due to strict diets, are actually suffering from diseases such as bulimia.

Our society is influenced by fashion that pushes us to consume not only mobile phones but also fast food. To be beautiful and feel good, you have to go to the gym, go swimming, go running, and, above all, be thin. All these activities, if not accompanied by the required hours of rest and a balanced diet, will just take their toll. Our country is known for its Mediterranean diet, which means eating vegetables, fruit, fish, and olive oil.... Continue reading "Healthy Diet and New Technologies: Impact on Life" »

Analysis of the Heart and the Salamander

Fahrenheit 451 is currently Bradbury's most famous written work of social criticism. It deals with serious problems of control of the masses by the media, the banning of books, and the suppression of the mind (with censorship). The novel examines a few pivotal days of a man's life, a man who is a burner of books and, therefore, an instrument of suppression. This man (Montag) lives in a world where the past has been destroyed by kerosene-spewing hoses and government brainwashing methods. In a few short days, this man is transformed from a narrow-minded and prejudiced conformist into a dynamic individual committed to social change and to a life of saving books rather than destroying them.

The story begins with a journalist named Donald Woods, from the Daily Dispatch, who often writes about the hard life of the blacks. Moments later, a black doctor, named Mamphela (a woman), enters his office to talk to him about an article he had published about Biko's Black Consciousness. She tells Woods to go talk to Biko (a black boy who wanted to end race inequality), since he is confined. Then Donald Woods goes to talk to Biko, and they agree that Biko will show him how black people live. One of the places that Biko shows Woods is a poor area of South Africa where life is not life, and makes a comparison with the lives of white people. Woods decides...
