Which text structure is present in this paragraph?
these stories have many similarities. first, they represent puritanism with their common themes of sin, redemption, and guilt woven throughout. in the crucible and the scarlet letter, adultery is the focal point of sin. whereas hester tries to redeem herself and live a moral life, her lover, arthur dimmesdale, simply wastes away because of his guilt. in the crucible, john proctor suffers a similar fate—his downfall is his own guilt over his affair with abigail and the loss of stature he fears he will suffer if his sin is exposed. he waits too long to expose abigail’s motives and therefore suffers far worse consequences than loss of stature. although john and arthur handle their guilt in two different ways, guilt ultimately destroys them both. both men punish themselves because of their sins.

there are two central themes in  the miracle worker: that the human spirit can triumph over even the most daunting of disabilities and that a dedicated teacher can transform the lives of those with whom he or she comes into contact. these inspirational themes have long been personified in the widely known true-life relationship between helen keller and annie sullivan, but  the miracle worker  also dramatizes collateral issues that extend beyond the particular case. underlying helen’s process of learning basic principles of what annie terms “obedience” (decorum, etiquette, and hygiene), there are more universal lessons of self-governance—the inculcation of self-restraint instead of willfulness, the development of self-discipline instead of self-indulgence. only when these lessons have been mastered can helen begin to acquire language—which, annie says, “is to the mind more than light is to the eye.”
