Body temperature usually rises as the day goes on, quickly drops around midnight, and then begins the cycle of rising again just before 6:00 a.m. Since these changes occur on a twenty-four-hour cycle, so abrupt time zone changes can understandably upset the body’ s well-tuned system of regulation.

Concept Attainment Style Example: Ain’tOnce a fully legitimate contraction of “am not” employed at least in familiar conversation by speakers of all social classes, ain’t came to be identified with less well-educated people, and in the United States specifically with poor rural dwellers. It’s unfortunate that in writing, its use is restricted to humorous emphasis or idiomatic expressions (“Say it ain’t so!”). RuckusRuckus, probably a mash-up of ruction (“disturbance”) and rumpus (“boisterous activity”) — themselves both dialectal terms — is now used only light-heartedly YonderThis formerly standard term meaning “over there” is now known only in rural dialect (or spoofing of it) or in a poetic sense.

Characterization Example: Abigail Williams can be seen as the lone antagonist who drives the drama within Arthur Miller’s “The Crucible.” With the use of manipulation and vengeance to attain what she wants, Abigail’s willingness to disregard Puritan societal restrictions quickly sets her apart from the other characters we’ve been introduced to, thus far. Abigail ‘s manipulation comes out in her relationship with John Proctor, as she demonstrates her cunning perception in these words to him: “I have a sense for heat, John, and yours has drawn me to my window, and I have seen you looking up, burning in your loneliness. Do you tell me that you've never looked up at my window?” (Miller, 1953). In this moment, she enables Proctor to admit his continued affection for her even though he is trying to repair his marriage with his wife. Her vengeance is expressed while speaking with her friends in Act 1: “Let either of you breathe a word, or the edge of a word, about the other things, and I will come to you in the black of some terrible night and I will bring a pointy reckoning that will shudder you” (Miller, 1953). This threat demonstrates that Abigail will go to any length to ensure that she is safe, no matter who else gets hurt.

Chapter 13: Sin, Individuality and Conformity, Puritanism The symbol of Hester's punishment now is a mark of her personal skill as a seamstress. Hester's reputation improves, but because of her sin Puritanism says she'll never reach heaven. By withholding forgiveness, Puritanism makes it pointless for sinners to stop sinning. Hester, the "sinner" intends to save Dimmesdale, though "innocent" Dimmesdale never tried to save her.
24
Chapter 14: Sin, Individuality and Conformity, Puritanism, Nature, and The Occult Hester will remove the letter only on her own terms. Her remark about being worthy of its removal is a sarcastic jab at the Puritans, who seek to de9ne her worthiness. Chillingworth's secrets and his quest for revenge have made him inhumane, unable to forgive, and miserable. Chillingworth, and other Puritans, equates reputation with life. But Hester knows prioritizing reputation over the soul is killing Dimmesdale.
25
Chapter 15: Sin, Individuality and Conformity Hester prioritizes her happiness over fear of sin. Pearl senses that understanding the letter's signi9cance is crucial to understanding herself and her connection to Dimmesdale. After advocating that Chillingworth be honest, Hester is "false" to her daughter.

4 Parts Part 1: Research Part 2: Analysis and Writing Part 3: Visual Representation Part 4: Presentation
28
Part 1: Research Choose two “shunned” individuals and research them! The people you choose must be from two different countries. Follow the very specific researching guidelines. Using Google Scholar, or another scholarly website (NO Wikipedia or.com’s) find two sources for each individual that explain, in detail, why and how your individual has been shunned by their society. Print these sources to reference later for quotes and information. Create a “Works Cited” page. Use the website: http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/01/ to create the citations and find the proper format. http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/01/
29
Part 2: Analysis and Writing Analyze and Respond to the following prompt: Shame and sin is viewed in a variety of ways in different countries and cultures: Hester did something that is very common in America today, but is still considered a crime in some Middle Eastern cultures. You will compare and contrast these differences in perspective. Relying extensively on quotations from your novel and your four sources, explain how the different cultural perceptions of sin have affected your two shunned individuals and Hester Prynne.
30
Part 3: Visual Representations You will choose a letter to symbolize one of your individuals’ transgressions, or frowned-upon actions. This letter must symbolize the person’s “sin” both visually and literally. For example: John Lennon was ostracized for saying that he and The Beatles were “bigger than God.” His letter could be an “E” for “ego;” this letter could be decorated with photos of other individuals who are known for their over-inflated ego. YES, You will need to create the letters for your chosen individuals.”
