HISTORY STILL MATTERS Bill Moyers I am fascinated by what I see in the rear view mirror of experience. The future, being a mystery, excites, but the past instructs. When I was a student at the University of Texas, one of the favorite campus legends concerned a professor of anthropology, whose great power was in bringing the past alive through his brilliant lectures on the ascent of the human species. Once, when he had been holding forth on a certain phase of evolution, a student in the rear of the room raised his hand and said, "Professor, I just don't see what difference it would have made if my great- great-great grandfather had been an ape." And the professor shot back: ~It would have made a significant difference to your great-great-great grand- mother."

Shikha Patel September 18, 2013 Period 1 The Scarlet Letter Chapters 1-7 Chapters 1-3 1. The throng of people is townspeople who are there to see Hester Prynne be punished for her crime. 2. According to Hawthorne, the first two places allotted for in any new community are a cemetery and a prison. 4. I think that Hawthorne is using the rosebush as a symbol of wilderness and nature?s beauty. Everything else that is surrounding this area is dreary and ugly but this the rosebush is a beautiful piece of nature. The rose bush is supposed to bless the people that go into the church. The book mentions Anne Hutchinson and says that the bush sprang up when Anne Hutchinson got there.
