Prompt: In The Scarlet Letter, I Tituba, Black Witch of Salem, and The Crucible, the authors represent characters who are in some way outside of their societies. In a written response, analyze the ways in which these representations reflect or challenge the notion that independence defines the American spirit. Support your response with evidence from the text.
Step one: Make a declaration/decide on your argument
Step two: List your reasons
Step three: Connect - write your thesis

Answer and Explanation:

Step one: The female representations described above challenge the notion that independence defines the American spirit.

Step two: Women who do not have the standard defended by society are deprived of independence and freedom.

Step three:

The three works described above feature characters, women who are far away from their societies and who are deprived of their freedom because they dare to be independent in someone in their lives and this identity is outside the standards defended by American society. This challenges the notion preached since the early days that independence defines the American spirit.

The independence of women in the works mentioned above is approached in different ways and reveal sexual independence, the protection of loved ones, the domination of a family and even religious freedom, however the result of these factors is the same. Regardless of what women have done, they are limited, ostracized and suffer a strong prejudice from American society, which wants women to put themselves in patterns of submission and invisibility.

However, the American society portrayed in these works does not recognize its hypocrisy in assuming that it is being challenged with the concept of freedom and independence that is preached in the country, but they place the blame of these women on the society they were generated in, in religion and even in them themselves to justify the injustices to which they are subjected.

Successful navigation beneath the surface of the water, though not carried to the extent imagined by Jules Verne, was a reality at the beginning of the twentieth century. Instead of twenty thousand leagues under the sea, less than a hundred leagues had been accomplished, but no one can foretell what the future may have in store.
The submarine is primarily utilized in wars. The weapon used by the submarine is the torpedo. The torpedo is itself a small submarine able to propel itself, and if started in the water toward a certain object, to go under water straight to the mark. It carries a heavy charge, either of guncotton or dynamite, which explodes when the torpedo strikes a solid object, such as a battle-ship.
It would be very difficult for one submarine to fight another submarine, for the submarine when completely submerged is blind. It could not see in the water to find its enemy. The torpedo-boat-destroyer is able to destroy a submarine by torpedoes, shells full of high explosives, or quick-firing guns. Advantage must be taken of the moment when the submarine comes to the surface to get a view of her enemy.
One of the great enemies of the submarine will probably be the air-ship, for while the submarine when under water cannot be seen from a ship on the surface, it can, under favorable conditions, be seen from a certain height in the air.
The rising and sinking of the submarine depend on the principle of Archimedes. The upward push of the water is just equal to the weight of the water displaced. If the water displaced weighs more than the boat, then the upward push of the water is greater than the weight of the boat and the boat rises. However, the boat can be made to dive when its weight is just a little less than the weight of the water displaced. This is done by means of horizontal rudders which may be inclined so as to cause the boat to glide downward as its propeller drives it forward.
There is one submarine built for peaceful pursuits. It is the Argonaut, invented by Simon Lake. This remarkable boat crawls along the bottom of the sea, but not at an immense depth. It is equipped with divers' appliances, and is used in saving wreckage. Divers can go out through the bottom of the boat, walk about on the sea bottom, and when through with their work re-enter the boat; all the while boat and men are, perhaps, a hundred feet below the surface. The divers' compartment, from which the divers go out into the water, is separated by an air-tight partition from the rest of the boat. Compressed air is forced into this compartment until the pressure of the air equals the pressure of the water outside. Then the door in the bottom is opened, and the air keeps the water out. The men in their diving-suits can then go out and in as they please.
For every boat, there is a depth beyond which it must not go. The penalty for going beyond this depth is a battered vessel, for the pressure increases with the depth. Every time the depth is increased thirty-two feet, the pressure is increased fifteen pounds on every square inch. Beyond a certain depth, the vessel cannot resist the pressure. Submarines have been made strong enough to withstand the pressure at a depth of five thousand feet, or nearly a mile. Most submarines, however, cannot go deeper than a hundred and fifty feet.
Air is supplied to the occupants of the boat either from reservoirs containing compressed air or oxygen, or by means of chemicals which absorb the carbon dioxide produced in breathing and restore the needed quantity of oxygen to the air.
