1. I'd choose something else here unless you know hundreds or thousands of returning soldiers who demonstrate this.
2. You could refer either to the story of Nathan and David from the Old Testament or the story of the prodigal son from the New Testament.
David: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+Samuel+12&version=GNT
Prodigal Son, starting in verse 11: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+15
3 and 4. Fine
5. I'd change some wording toward the end:
" ... but her perseverance led her to become a successful writer and lecturer." (Your original wording doesn't say what she became!)
6. Fine except for this: "Andrew Jackson kind of ." <~~What?
7 and 8. Fine
I need help finding real life examples for the scarlet letter themes? Do the ones I have fit the themes? Are they correct?
1. Guilt can destroy a person, body, and soul. I was thinking soldiers who fight overseas in countries and having to kill innocent people.
2.True Repentance must come from within. I actually don't know of a real life example for this. Please help me with this.
3. Revenge destroys both the victim and the seeker. Well the assassination of Abraham Lincoln by John Wilkes Booth because he believed that Lincoln was determined to overthrow the Constitution and to destroy the South. Both Lincoln and Booth die .
4. One must have the courage to be true to one's self. Malala Yousafzai defied threats of the Taliban to campaign for the right to education. She survived being shot in the head by the Taliban and has become a global advocate for human rights, women’s rights and the right to education.
5. It is by recognizing and dealing with weaknesses that one grows stronger . I thought either Franklin Delano Roosevelt or Helen Keller. FDR was physically handicapped but he still was a strong and great president. Helen Keller was blind and deaf but because of her perseverance, it lead her to become who was.
6. The choices one makes determines what one becomes. Miley Cyrus or Lindsay Lohan. They were both "role models" that people looked up to when they were younger. Now they both do bad things that end up in the media and people say all kind of stuff about them.
7. Within each person lies the capacity for good and evil. Andrew Jackson kind of . He was elected by the people because people felt he was one of them.He seemed to symbolize the virtues of the new America- a common man who climbed the ladder of success, ready to destroy aristocratic privileges wherever he found them. However under his term he vetoed more than any other presidents. Congress passed the Indian Removal Act that removed thousands of Indians from their ancestral home to Oklahoma.
8. One must accept responsibility for ones actions or suffer the consequences.I guess this could be about the Watergate scandal in which Nixon's administration attempted to cover it up but he later admitted what he did and resign.
Please tell me of what you think and please help me with the second one
