Most of them teach us a lesson in life that has a hidden meaning. ]]> 2017-01-09 19:06:57 UTC https://padlet.com/bolin17/l1sjq3ifd8g0/wish/146090226 campbella171 https://padlet.com/bolin17/l1sjq3ifd8g0/wish/146289891 In looking at all of these works, we have found that the motifs and most of the points in the literary elements have been the same through out. Some many be teaching us a different lesson, but there is more comparison than contrast. ]]> 2017-01-10 15:57:27 UTC https://padlet.com/bolin17/l1sjq3ifd8g0/wish/146289891 campbella171 https://padlet.com/bolin17/l1sjq3ifd8g0/wish/146290450 In comparing and contrasting these works, we see that the motifs and themes are very similar. In the Devil Wears Prada and The Scarlet Letter we could not find things in 3, so that sets those 2 apart from the rest of the works. We think that is because they are more modern. In the long run, these pieces are more alike than unalike. ]]> 2017-01-10 15:59:07 UTC https://padlet.com/bolin17/l1sjq3ifd8g0/wish/146290450 campbella171 https://padlet.com/bolin17/l1sjq3ifd8g0/wish/146611728 2017-01-11 18:39:28 UTC https://padlet.com/bolin17/l1sjq3ifd8g0/wish/146611728
