To Age or not to Age
(1) In “Dr. Heidegger’s Experiment," Nathaniel Hawthorne expresses [Diction] that if given the chance to regain your youth, some would not have learned from their past mistakes, to change the way would live their life again. In “Dr Heidegger’s Experiment” Hawthorne uses his characters to describe how life experiences should have an impression in our lives.
(2) Dr Heidegger was an old scientist, who has a very strange way of presenting himself. He works by himself in his study. Which many find to be a “very curious place.”(Pg. 578) [Frag -1] In his study there is a picture of a women [Hostage 50] who once was his lover. She was going to be the one that he was going to marry, but she had been affected with a disorder and had taken some of the pills he prescribed and died. “She had swallowed one of her lovers prescription’s and died on the bridal evening.”(Pg. 579) It is thought that Dr. Heidegger might have had something to do with her death, but it was unknown. “The greatest curiosity of the study remains to be mentioned.”(Pg. 579) [Why was this uotation included?] The doctor had an experiment that would turn back the hands of time, but he would not have any part of it, he just wanted to observe. [How is this paragraph related to the thesis?]
(3) Dr. Heidegger called on four of his friends to help him with his experiment. [This topic sentence suggests a plot summary.] Mr. Medbourne who was a prosperous merchant in his early day (Pg. 579), Colonel Killigrew wasted his years on sinful pleasures (Pg. 579), Mr. Guscoigne was a ruined politician (Pg. 579), and Widow Wycherly was a beauty in her younger day, but had been isolated from society (Pg. 579). All of the friends had lived a life of relationships with all three men, [homosexual?] which almost caused them to kill each other over her, “had once been on the point of cutting each other's throats for her sake.”(Pg. 579) [This quotation is inaccurate.] This is what caused for her to be an outcast with the town. “scandalous stories which had prejudiced the gentry of the town against her.”(Pg. 579) [Frag - 1] When asked to participate in the experiment, they were all a little skeptical.
Both awe-inspiring and indescribable is life, the defined “state of being” that historians and scholars alike have been trying to put into words ever since written language was first created. And in the words of one such intellectual, Joshua J. Marine, “Challenges are what make life interesting; overcoming them is what makes life meaningful”. Essentially, he is comparing life to a bowl of soup. Without challenges or hardships into which we can put forth effort and show our potential, it becomes a dull and flavorless broth. But for characters in novels like Nathaniel Hawthorne’s

Finally, even though, for a long time, the roles of woman in a relationship have been established to be what I already explained, we see that these two protagonists broke that conception and established new ways of behaving in them. One did it by having an affair with another man and expressing freely her sexuality and the other by breaking free from the prison her marriage represented and discovering her true self. The idea that unites the both is that, in their own way, they defied many beliefs and started a new way of thinking and a new perception of life, love and relationships.
It distinguishes the progressive development of the community that result from individual resistance and questioning of society authority. Hester’s speculation about the society seems to give a new meaning to the implications of the society-defined rules. In addition, Hawthorne criticizes the Puritan morality that characterized the society in which he lived. In the novel, Hawthorne identifies the limitations that religion and society set against self-reliance and actualization through moral and social codes that defined people’s expectations (Imene
It seems China’s interest in African countries is not in territorial occupation, but rather in international prominence and expanding its rapidly growing economic agenda. Kenya’s richness in commodities and weak commercial laws are an idealistic setting for rapid market entry, therefore China has been able to effortlessly influence and expand its mercantilist ambitions without distress of competition from the west. Even though the United States is focused in providing conditional aid to Kenya, the effects of Chinese expansion in Kenya on U.S. interest are alarming, for China is offering cold hard cash that is f...

Smoking actually increases anxiety and tension. It does create an immediate sense of relaxation. However, This feeling of relaxation is temporary and soon gives way to withdrawal symptoms and increased cravings.
Since ours is an age that has found irony, ambiguity, and paradox to be central not only in literature but in life, it is not surprising that Hawthorne has seemed to us one of the most modern of nineteenth century American writers. The bulk and general excellence of the great outburst of Hawthorne criticism of the past decade attest to his relevance for us (54).
...lam, but many remember his speech and willingness to go to great lengths to secure freedom. "Power in defense of freedom is greater than power in behalf of tyranny and oppression," he stated. "Because power, real power, comes from our conviction which produces action, uncompromising action." (Malcolm X Biography, 2014)
China’s foray in Africa is not just influencing governments’ economic and trade policies but indications show that this influence permeates in the social sphere as well.

Cigarette makers know that nicotine addiction helps sell their products. Nicotine is the main ingredient in tobacco that causes addiction. Feeling and pleasure are the two parts of the brain that are triggered by nicotine use. It only takes minutes for the effects of nicotine to wear off. This causes the smoker to take another puff to keep feeling good. (Junior Scholastic, 2006) When tobacco products are used nicotine is quickly absorbed into your blood stream. Within seconds it enters the brain causing the brain to release adrenaline, which in return causes a buzz of pleasure and energy. The feeling quickly fades and leaves the user feeling tired, down and craving that feeling of pleasure once more. This could result in the individual lighting up another cigarette due to the fact that the body has built up such as high tolerance to nicotine. This cycle will only continue to repeat resulting in addiction. Although for many once they’ve reached this point it seems almost impossible to quit smoking even when they want to. ("Nicotine and Tobacco Addiction | Be Tobacco Free.gov”) Nearly 35 million people make a serious attempt to quit each year, unfortunately most fail...
