Reflect and Respond Comparison to Today Consider the barbaric punishment that Hester Prynne faces for her sin. By today’s standa

rds, this punishment seems fairly harsh. However, there are places in this world that still practice much harsher punishments than this. Read the article “Pakistan: Pregnant woman killed by disapproving family, police say” from CNN about honor killings in the Middle East. Do you think the concepts behind both Hester Prynne’s punishment and the concept of honor killings are the same? How are both punishments unfair? Explain in 3–5 sentences.

Answer:

I wonder if you could disagree. Say the punishment of wearing the scarlet letter is much less barbaric than the stoning that she might have suffered under mosaic law.

Explanation: Adultery destroys the love and trust that form the basis for a happy marriage. It causes the breakdown of families. In previous centuries, stable marriages and families were the basis for communities and civil society. Anyone who caused disruption undermined the common good. The punishment served as a deterrent.

In today's culture of pleasure-seeking and lack of commitment to long-term marriage, it may seem harsh to punish someone for "doing what comes naturally." But look at the consequences. Single parents who can hardly support themselves and their kids. Kids constantly in visitation switches between parents. Unplanned pregnancies and abortions. If adultry were less tolerated, family and community life would be more stable.

Choose one of Schlosser’s two claims: “the fast-food industry resembles the manufacturing business” or “teenagers are the ideal
loris [4]
The fast food has an organized way of making food for the customers. They also have complete equipment from food preparation, distribution and selling of food. The manager as boss directly applies management of workers which gives the business good standing to make the business work. This routine resembles other businesses and is not far from the organizational flow. 

Teenagers are the ideal people for the business because they have fast response. They think quickly and can follow the procedures given to them. They have enough energy to perform their tasks.

Read this example of incorrect sentence structure. Winter is coming I need a new coat. Which revisions best correct the sentence
telo118 [61]

Winter is coming; I need a new coat.

Winter is coming, so I need a new coat.

Because winter is coming, I need a new coat.

The sentence structure of the original sentence is wrong because it is a run on sentence. The sentence has two complete thoughts/ideas without the proper punctuation between them. The first complete thought is "Winter is coming". The second complete thought is "I need a new coat." These need to either be joined with a semicolon or a comma and conjunction. The first answer uses the semicolon to join the two complete ideas into a compound sentence. The second correct answer uses a comma and conjunction, so, to join the two complete ideas. The last correct answer creates a dependent clause by beginning the sentence with "because". Then the comma shows the separation between the dependent clause and the independent clause.

KonstantinChe [14]
The answer is "it leaves things uncertain."

This passage focuses on the mother's understanding; it does not focus on Imogen's inner thoughts or her love for the children.

However, it does not specifically explain the "many things" the mother thought when she looked away from her child's eyes. Therefore, it leaves these things uncertain.
