Ph.D. Charlotte Witvliet at Hope College, along with her colleagues, hooked up seventy-one student participants (36 female & 35 male) to monitors in order to examine the physiological and emotional effects of imagining hurtful memories and harboring a grudge as opposed to exhibiting forgiveness to personal offenders. Each student participant was asked to complete a two-part test. First they were asked to imagine a particular person that they assigned blame to for either offending or hurting them, followed by a questionnaire about the nature of the offense and response to it. Then each student participant was asked to actively imagine either forgiving or not forgiving (the independent variables) the perpetrator.
At the beginning of the book Charlotte likes the captain because they are of the same social class but as the novel progresses, Captain Jaggery's true colors start to show.

My quote is “Be careful who you trust, the devil was once an angel.” By-Unknown. My theme is My theme is for the book The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle is “Be careful who you trust.” During the ride to America, she met an old person by the name of Zacharia and he ended up being Charlotte's friend and knew how bad Jaggery was. He told her a story about Jaggery and a guy named Cranick and Jaggery beat him so hard his arm eventually fell off.
Indeed, we see how as the narrator devotes an increasing amount of time with Charlotte, he becomes detached from his surroundings: he ignores his friends’ promptings and eventually progresses to a point where he is unaware of both time and location, that only today in introspection can he “recall that [they] were in [his] room” the day Maurice returns (197). Towards the end, the narrator describes how his clothes and Charlottes’ becomes “indistinguishable”, being “thrown over every chair” in the study room (191). Isolated and devoting so much time in this “cocoon” of the relationship, the narrator seems to lose part of his rational and orderly self and becomes more similar to the disorganized and anti-social Charlotte. The descriptions of Charlotte’s room and the imagery of the “cocoon” highlight this sense
All in all, if Charlotte had known who to trust she would have known that Zachariah could be trusted and that it was Captain Jaggery who was untrustworthy. A few chapters later the author once
The written records from Joan of Arc’s trials and subsequent interrogations have long been accepted as the leading authority of the words and beliefs of Joan of Arc’s. Karen Sullivan, a professor of literature at Bard College and writer of numerous articles on medieval French literature, challenges the accuracy of these records noting that it was the educated clerics who decided the line of inquiry, decided when the interrogations would take place, and ultimately decided what to include in these transcripts. Sullivan chose to re-reads these accounts as a literary text to look at how the interpretation of Joan’s words from these clerics could have lead to the death of the Maid of Orleans. With her book, The Interrogation of Joan of Arc, Karen argues that the educational differences
The conflict was between the narrator and herself. She knew the girl was not good for her but she did not care and wanted her anyways. She could deal with all of her annoying qualities because she loved the way she always looked. The other conflict I saw was Charlotte cheated on both the narrator and the boyfriend, Maurice.
I think that the most disturbing part of Anne Frank's story was that Anne and Margot died just a month before the camp they had been sent to, Bergen-Belsun was liberated. I think that this is the most disturbing part because for two years Anne had tremendous courage and she was so close to freedom. In Anne's diary she writes, "I can shake off everything as I write; my sorrows disappear, my courage is born. " The story of Anne Frank is disturbing all around, but the fact that she could not live to see who she would become is devastating to me. Although Anne's story is cruel, some outcomes aren't.

In this passage, Charlotte Perkins Gilman highlights the theme that women must use their intellect or go mad through the use of literary qualities and writing styles. Gilman also uses the use of capital letters to portray the decline in the narrators’ sanity. This shows the decline in the sanity of a person because the words in all-caps is shown as abrupt, loud remarks. Gilman uses this method multiple times in her short story and this method was used twice in this passage. When the narrator wrote, “LOOKING AT THE PAPER!”, the major decline in her mental health was shown.
