Read the following passage from The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne and answer the question that follows.   "A lane was forthwith opened through the crowd of spectators. Preceded by the beadle, and attended by an irregular procession of stern-browed men and unkindly visaged women, Hester Prynne set forth towards the place appointed for her punishment. A crowd of eager and curious school-boys, understanding little of the matter in hand, except that it gave them a half-holiday, ran before her progress, turning their heads continually to stare into her face, and at the winking baby in her arms, and at the ignominious letter on her breast. It was no great distance, in those days, from the prison-door to the market-place. Measured by the prisoner's experience, however, it might be reckoned a journey of some length; for, haughty as her demeanor was, she perchance underwent an agony from every footstep of those that thronged to see her, as if her heart had been flung into the street for them all to spurn and trample upon."Which type of conflict is present in this passage? Character versus character Character versus nature Character versus society Character versus technology

With what does that poet compare the yellow leaves?

Choose the poem that uses alliteration.When you destroy a blade of grassYou poison England at her roots:Remember no man's foot can passWhere evermore no green life shoots.The human heart has hidden treasures,In secret kept, in silence sealed;The thoughts, the hopes, the dreams, the pleasures,Whose charms were broken if revealed.
