Read this excerpt from chapter 2 of The Scarlet Letter using comprehension strategies. “Goodwives,” said a hard-featured dame of

fifty, “I’ll tell ye a piece of my mind. It would be greatly for the public behoof, if we women, being of mature age and church-members in good repute, should have the handling of such malefactresses as this Hester Prynne. What think ye, gossips? If the hussy stood up for judgment before us five, that are now here in a knot together, would she come off with such a sentence as the worshipful magistrates have awarded?” What is the meaning of this excerpt? The speaker believes that she and her peers ought to be in charge of assigning sentences in cases like Hester’s. The speaker believes she and her peers ought to be acknowledged for their good standing in the community. The speaker believes that the older women of the church ought to be allowed to serve as magistrates. The speaker believes that the magistrates have been too strict in their handling of Hester’s case.

A. The speaker is saying that she and her peers should be allowed to handle the punishments for people like Hester Prynne. She thinks this because they would band together as a group and be all on the same page in their punishment, rather than leaving it up to the magistrate--whose punishment she does not think adequately fit the crime Hester committed.

What advice would Niemöller give to the speaker in "I Sit and Look Out"? Would the speaker agree with Niemöller's perspective? G
Cloud [144]

I think he would have advised him to leave while can and speak out.  The fact that someone called his name meant that he was caught.  He speaker had already witnessed much sorrow and pain from war and other problems.  Eventually they came for the speaker and there was no one there for him. “Then they came for me—and no one left to speak for me.”

In 3–5 complete sentences, thoroughly explain how the protagonist's cultural background affects his or her actions and choices i
Marina CMI [18]

Answer: There was no much emphasis or mention about the cast's cultural background. Certain aspects are based on assumptions. I feel that the historical background is seen most important, to understand the cast's behavior.

Explanation:

Russian author Varlam Shalamov wrote a short story on Condensed Milk. Shalamov spent 15 years of life in Gulag, a camp where Russian forced-labor was being operated. This story narrates his terrifying experiences.

He was a political person, which shows that he was not a regular criminal but has been arrested as a thief. The treatment given to a thief was better than what he has been through. He was arrested based on suspicion as the Stalin Government found him as a threat though he was considered an enemy amongst the people. This is because of expressing his opinion that the Soviet Regime considered/felt inappropriate. Shalamov demonstrated his brilliance despite his deteriorating health at the camp. He was offered help to escape but wasn't fooled either. He lived amongst people whom he couldn't trust anymore.

While going through a harrowing treatment at the camp, the combatant realized that Shestakov was setting a trap. Shestakov was the only person with an office job with privileges. During those times, being with privileges was considered being good with the government and its people. Shalamov was afraid of Shestakov, as they were the only ones working in the field where Shestakov is trained. Shalamov was incredulous as to who had assigned Sestakov for the training and what he might have been offered?. Everything in the camp had to be paid with either another man's blood or his life.
