Read the following passages from Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlett Letter. Though this work is set in a puritan society, it’s very much a Romantic-era work. In the following passages, you should see elements of both Romanticism and Gothicism. As you read the passages, annotate them for elements of both Romanticism and Gothicism.
PASSAGE 1 The great black forest—stern as it showed itself to those who brought the guilt and troubles of the world into its bosom—became the playmate of the lonely infant, as well as it knew how. Sombre as it was, it put on the kindest of its moods to welcome her. It offered her the partridge-berries, the growth of the preceding autumn, but ripening only in the spring, and now red as drops of blood upon the withered leaves. These Pearl gathered, and was pleased with their wild flavor. The small denizens of the wilderness hardly took pains to move out of her path. A partridge, indeed, with a brood of ten behind her, ran forward threateningly, but soon repented of her fierceness, and clucked to her young ones not to be afraid. A pigeon, alone on a low branch, allowed Pearl to come beneath, and uttered a sound as much of greeting as alarm. A squirrel, from the lofty depths of his domestic tree, chattered either in anger or merriment,—for a squirrel is such a choleric and humorous little personage that it is hard to distinguish between his moods,—so he chattered at the child, and flung down a nut upon her head. It was a last year’s nut, and already gnawed by his sharp tooth. A fox, startled from his sleep by her light footstep on the leaves, looked inquisitively at Pearl, as doubting whether it were better to steal off, or renew his nap on the same spot. A wolf, it is said,—but here the tale has surely lapsed into the improbable,—came up, and smelt of Pearl’s robe, and offered his savage head to be patted by her hand. The truth seems to be, however, that the mother-forest, and these wild things which it nourished, all recognized a kindred wildness in the human child.
PASSAGE 2 The road, after the two wayfarers had crossed from the peninsula to the mainland, was no other than a footpath. It straggled onward into the mystery of the primeval forest. This hemmed it in so narrowly, and stood so black and dense on either side, and disclosed such imperfect glimpses of the sky above, that, to Hester’s mind, it imaged not amiss the moral wilderness in which she had so long been wandering. The day was chill and sombre. Overhead was a gray expanse of cloud, slightly stirred, however, by a breeze; so that a gleam of flickering sunshine might now and then be seen at its solitary play along the path. This flitting cheerfulness was always at the farther extremity of some long vista through the forest. The sportive sunlight—feebly sportive, at best, in the predominant pensiveness of the day and scene—withdrew itself as they came nigh, and left the spots where it had danced the drearier, because they had hoped to find them bright.

1. Pass 1 is more romantic. In passage 1 we are presented with the forest as a living element, a character with great influence, in addition to being a scenario. This is a strong element of romantic literature, which used to show nature as a living element within history. In addition, we can see another element of romantic literature, escapism, characterized by the flight from the real self and all the problems that surround it.
2. Passage 2 is more Gothic. In this passage we see the forest being portrayed as a dark and mysterious scenario that causes a certain terror and discomfort in its passengers. This is a strong element of Gothic literature that used to show nature as a place that can cause a lot of terror, melancholy and fear.
3. Passage 1 communicates that nature is welcoming, kind and invigorating.
The text shows how nature welcomed the boy in a maternal way, causing strong fun, joy and pleasure, even if he had problems and bad experiences.
4. Passage 2 communicates a chaustrophobic, somber and limiting theme about nature.
The text expresses a sense of imprisonment the moment the characters enter the forest. Passing a dark, mysterious and caustrophobic feeling, as if the forest was not there to do any good.

Answer:
I would say poor economic conditions after World War One. Choice B.
Explanation:
The German people were basically dirt poor from all the sanctions and restrictions placed on them by the "Treaty of Versailles". This led to many of the German people resenting people of other nations and fueled the nationalist sentiment that led to the rise of the Nazi party who promised to bring Germany back into greatness.
If you have time, definitely check out some articles and papers about the "Treaty of Versailles" and you'll quickly understand the hardship of the German people pre World war II.
Cheers.

Answer:
c
Explanation:
In Kant’s time, peasants would sometimes sell their teeth to wealthier individuals who needed them. Kant objected to this, and he would presumably, for similar reasons, object to selling organs (like kidneys) in the present day. Which of following most accurately characterizes
Kant’s reasons for objecting to selling parts of one’s body?
Options.
) The pain caused by having a tooth or an organ extracted is severe — severe enough to outweigh the pleasure that the recipient will enjoy. b) Extracting teeth and organs is disgusting, and, therefore, morally wrong. c) Extracting teeth and organs inherently involves a certain amount of risk. Something could go wrong, and the procedure could result in infection, further illness, or death. Kant says that we are not allowed to take risks with our lives. d) By selling part of her body, a person would be treating herself as a mere means, and not as an end in herself. e) An individual’s body is owned by God, and so she is not free to do with it whatever she wishes. God has ultimate ownership over her body, and so selling a tooth or an organ would require selling something that one does not actually own.
Answer:
By selling part of her body, a person would be treating herself as a mere means, and not as an end in herself
Explanation:
Immanuel Kant(1724-1804) Philosopher, brought a paradigm shift in context of duties and right of humanity.He reasoned that humans are rational beings that should be accord with dignity and respects they deserve,.
Thus in contrast to utilitarianism he contended that morality is not about happiness in totality, or the right to own once life,but rather the need to respect humanity as ends in themselves.
Thus Kant promoted that man should be treated with respects with dignity, and he should be able to exercise his fundamental Universal human rights when the need arise.
Therefore selling kidney is not only against humanity right's and respects,but also disrespected man as end in himself
Thus against,Jeremy Benthams' principle of morals and legalisation, Kant revealed that humanity should not be limited to the fact that we are the master of ourselves,or our creator created and gave us privileges with gift of lives and freedom.but rather persons should be accorded with the dignity and right they deserve.

what is civil service
Answer:The civil service is a collective term for a sector of government composed mainly of career bureaucrats hired on professional merit rather than appointed or elected, whose institutional tenure typically survives transitions of political leadership. A civil servant or public servant is a person so employed in the public sector employed for a government department or agency. Civil (or public) servants work for government departments, and answer to the government, not a political party.[1][2] The extent of civil servants of a state as part of the "civil service" varies from country to country. In the United Kingdom, for instance, only Crown (national government) employees are referred to as civil servants whereas country or city employees are not.
Some observers consider the study of the civil service part of the field of public administration. Workers in "non-departmental public bodies" (sometimes called "QUANGOs") may also be classed as civil servants for the purpose of statistics and possibly for their terms and conditions. Collectively a state's civil servants form its civil service or public service.
