Why does dimmesdale stand on the very proudest?

The concept of 'standing on the very proudest' relates to moments in literature where characters assert their rights and personal power, reflecting both empowerment and the potential for conflict with societal or moral laws.

The passages provided illuminate the theme of asserting one's rights and the pride or boldness that comes with it. Characters across these excerpts exhibit a strong sense of entitlement or wrestle with the weight of their personal power and the consequences of asserting it. In literature, standing 'on the very proudest' can symbolize a character's confrontation with their pride, their perceived right to act, or a pivotal moment of self-assertion. This moment can be seen as both empowering and dangerous, as it often involves a conflict between personal desires and societal or moral laws.

What is the theme of this poem?

Children
by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Come to me, O ye children!
For I hear you at your play
And the questions that perplexed me
Have vanished quite away.
5 Ye open the eastern windows,
That look towards the sun,
Where thoughts are singing swallows
And the brooks of morning run.
In your hearts are the birds and the sunshine
10 In your thoughts the brooklet's flow,
But in mine is the wind of Autumn
And the first fall of the snow.
Ah! What would the world be to us
If the children were no more?
15 We should dread the desert behind us
Worse than the dark before.
What the leaves are to the forest,
With light and air for food,
Ere their sweet and tender juices
20 Have been hardened into wood,
That to the world are children;
Through them it feels the glow
Of a brighter and sunnier climate
Than reaches the trunks below.
25 Come to me, O ye children!
And whisper in my ear
What the birds and the winds are singing
In your sunny atmosphere
For what are all our contrivings,
30 And the wisdom of our books,
When compared with your caresses,
And the gladness of your looks?
Ye are better than all the ballads
That ever were sung or said;
35 For ye are living poems,
And all the rest are dead.

About the year 1727, just at the time that earthquakes were prevalent in New England, and shook many tall sinners down upon their knees, there lived near this place a meager, miserly fellow, of the name of Tom Walker.

Everybody remembers the time of Governor Belcher, when money was particularly scarce. It was a time of paper credit. The country had been deluged with government bills.


He even talked of the expediency of reviving the persecution of Quakers and Anabaptists.

THE KNIGHT'S TALE

1A knight there was, and that a worthy man,
That from the time that he first began
To riden out, he loved chivalry,
Truth and honour, freedom and courtesy.
5Full worthy was he in his Lorde's war,
And thereto had he ridden, no man farre,
As well in Christendom as in Heatheness,
And ever honour'd for his worthiness
At Alisandre he was when it was won.
10Full often time he had the board begun
Above alle nations in Prusse.
In Lettowe had he reysed and in Russe,
No Christian man so oft of his degree.
In Grenade at the siege eke had he be
15Of Algesir, and ridden in Belmarie.
At Leyes was he, and at Satalie,
When they were won; and in the Greate Sea
At many a noble army had he be.
At mortal battles had he been fifteen,
20And foughten for our faith at Tramissene.
In listes thries, and aye slain his foe.
This ilke worthy knight had been also
Some time with the lord of Palatie,
Against another heathen in Turkie:
25And evermore he had a sovereign price.
And though that he was worthy he was wise,
And of his port as meek as is a maid.
He never yet no villainy ne said
In all his life, unto no manner wight.
30He was a very perfect gentle knight.
But for to telle you of his array,
His horse was good, but yet he was not gay.
Of fustian he weared a gipon,
Alle besmotter'd with his habergeon,
35For he was late y-come from his voyage,
And wente for to do his pilgrimage.

With him there was his son, a younge SQUIRE,
A lover, and a lusty bacheler,
With lockes cruller as they were laid in press.
40Of twenty year of age he was I guess.
Of his stature he was of even length,
And wonderly deliver, and great of strength.
And he had been some time in chevachie,
In Flanders, in Artois, and Picardie,
45And borne him well, as of so little space,
In hope to standen in his lady's grace.
Embroider'd was he, as it were a mead
All full of freshe flowers, white and red.
Singing he was, or fluting all the day;
50He was as fresh as is the month of May.
Short was his gown, with sleeves long and wide.
Well could he sit on horse, and faire ride.
He coulde songes make, and well indite,
Joust, and eke dance, and well pourtray and write.
55So hot he loved, that by nightertale
He slept no more than doth the nightingale.
Courteous he was, lowly, and serviceable,
And carv'd before his father at the table.

I'LL GIVE BRAINLIST!!!!!
Dorothea Lange believed it was important to record what her subjects said. She noted their exact words whenever she could, and sent them with the accompanying photographs to the government.

One of Lange's best-known photographs is Migrant Mother. Lange met this woman and her children on a rainy day in March 1936. They were barely surviving in a tent that stood on a wet field. They were cold, hungry, and without much hope, since the crops were frozen. Lange sensed that the mother's face could tell the story of thousands of other mothers with hungry children. She took five photographs of her, each one successively closer to her face. Then she brought the photos to a San Francisco newspaper. The newspaper printed two of Lange's photos with the news that the U.S. government had decided to send 20,000 pounds of food to the 2,500 migrants at the camp. This was a great victory for Lange because her pictures had helped to prod the government into action.

D. The picture supports the aim of the photographer to capture vivid emotions of women.

One day after we left a shop I said under my breath, “I wish you wouldn’t do that, telling everybody I’m your daughter.” My mother stopped walking. Crowds of people with heavy bags pushed past us on the sidewalk, bumping into first one shoulder, then another. “Aiii-ya. So shame be with mother?” She grasped my hand even tighter as she glared at me. I looked down. “It’s not that, it’s just so obvious. It’s just so embarrassing.” “Embarrass you be my daughter?” Her voice was cracking with anger. “That’s not what I meant. That’s not what I said.” “What you say?” I knew it was a mistake to say anything more, but I heard my voice speaking, “Why do you have to use me to show off? If you want to show off, then why don’t you learn to play chess?” My mother’s eyes turned into dangerous black slits. She had no words for me, just sharp silence.

The telephone rang inside, startlingly, and as Daisy shook her head decisively at Tom the subject of the stables, in fact all subjects, vanished into air. Among the broken fragments of the last five minutes at table I remember the candles being lit again, pointlessly, and I was conscious of wanting to look squarely at every one, and yet to avoid all eyes. I couldn’t guess what Daisy and Tom were thinking, but I doubt if even Miss Baker, who seemed to have mastered a certain hardy skepticism, was able utterly to put this fifth guest’s shrill metallic urgency out of mind. To a certain temperament the situation might have seemed intriguing—my own instinct was to telephone immediately for the police. The phone calls that Tom receives during the dinner are an indicator that
