Scarlet Letter

Being able to confess to someone a sin you have committed is one of the finest feelings. The forest ...

After the rebellion, Snowball took control and broadcast his ideas upon desprate ears. “Vote for Snowball and the three day week ...

War And Peace

... from the 1860s to the present have wondered how these three parts cohere, and many have faulted Tolstoy for including the lengthy essays, but readers continue to respond to them with undiminished enthusiasm.
