How does the text structure of these paragraphs relate to their content? the scarlet letter, written by nathaniel hawthorne in 1850, is set in puritan new england (boston) in the seventeenth century. considered hawthorne’s masterpiece, this gothic american romance novel focuses on the protagonist, hester prynne, who gives birth after an adulterous affair and refuses to reveal the name of her child’s father. the majority of the novel focuses on hester's attempt to live a dignified life in a town that shuns her for her sin. arthur miller’s play the crucible was first produced on stage in 1953. the story, which is set during the salem witch trials, centers around the protagonist, john proctor, a well-respected man who, we learn, had an affair with another character, abigail williams, eventually leading to his downfall. a. it contrasts the two writers' narrative writing styles. b. it highlights the common theme of immoral conduct. c. it underscores the similarities in the settings and plots of these two literary works. d. it shows the different purposes for which the authors wrote these literary works.

B. It highlights the common theme of immoral conduct.

This is the best option because both paragraphs speak about each text centering around immoral conduct. In the first text it speaks of Hester Prynne's "adulterous affair". The second text speaks of John Proctor's affair with Abigail Williams. The paragraphs do not reveal the "writers' narrative writing styles". They also do not reveal the authors' purposes or underscore the similarities of the settings.

explanation:

you only need simple sentences to answer this. just answer these questions.

what do you think annie thinks of the mother? do you think annie believes the mother is a fit mother for helen.

what about the father? what would annie think of him? she might not like him, but does she respect him.

how about the son? would annie think he is the only voice of sanity in an insane place?

what about helen herself? this is the key question. how does she see helen? what do you suppose she thought her first job was going to be.

these aren't hard questions. just state the obvious. annie is not that well educated: she just knows what she has to do. write it that way.

you can do it if you've read the book or seen the play or movie.
