The Chase For Roger Maris

The chase for Roger Maris" was the most memorable
moments this season in Major League Baseball.

For Every Action There is a Reaction: the Affects
of Sin in The Scarlet Letter According to Websters
Collegiate Dictionary, sin is defined as an action
that is or is felt to be highly reprehensible. The
average person would agree that it is only in

Boys On The Island Born Evil
1,086 words
There is hardly ever a man clever enough to
recognize the full extent of the evil he does. In
the novel, Lord of the Flies, written by William

represent a metaphorical idea in which they are
born unto the island, and manifest mankind's true
nature. As the story progresses, the boys
construct a society and ruin it. They revert to
the primitive association in which fear and
tyranny lead to ultimate rule...

Sin or Saint The Scarlet Letter is a highly sexual
movie remake of Nathaniel Hawthorne's classic

Literary purists should be aghast at some of the
liberties taken with the original text, but the
complaints have more to do with cinematic
misjudgments and drastic change in plot than those
