The great stone face

Freitas RA: 4699645 Summary of The Great Stone Face The Great Stone Face is a short story by Nathaniel Hawthorne. A rich text to spin a tale emphasizing strength of character in a gorgeous New England setting. In New Hampshire, there is a mountain whose profile resembles a strong, noble face. Ethan, the young main character, has always been intrigued by the prophecy surrounding the mountain, which says "Someone will be born hereabouts who will look just like the Great Stone Face, and he will be the noblest person of his time." Years go by, and various men return to the village having distinguished themselves in commerce or war. Every time one of these men returns, the villagers hope he will fulfill the prophecy. However, they soon realize that riches and fame do not make one noble or good. Ethan is particularly disappointed when the Great Stone Face has no equal, but he continues to live his life with diligence and wisdom. Finally, Ethan's granddaughter points out that he resembles the Great Stone Face most of all. Ethan receives her praise with humility, in keeping with his noble character. I think the main idea of the text, is the search for the man "ideal", the "great man", and Ernest spends his whole life looking for this man with these qualities, and not realize they are becoming this "man" , pulled out a snippet of text where it starts to take shape: “…and was now a man of middle age. By imperceptible degrees, he had become known among the people. Now, as…

not liking suspense movies, I watched “The Da Vinci Code” in my English class in order to improve my English. In my opinion, the film is not so interesting as the book and I didn’t understand it so well. When I was watching the movie, I noticed some differences between the book and the film: In the movie, Robert received the picture of Sauniere’s corpse while he was autographing his books in a university, whereas in the book he was contacted when he was in the hotel; Sophie found the…

"Wish to look about the store? Oh, by all means, sir," said the manager of one of the biggest book stores in New York. He called to his assistant, "Just show this gentleman our ancient classics – the ten-cent series." With this he dismissed me from his mind. In other words he had guessed at a glance that I was a professor. The manager of the biggest book store cannot be deceived in a customer. He knew I would hang around for two hours, get in everybody's way, and finally buy the…
