Amanda Bynes Compare And Contrast Essay

971 Words4 Pages

She was on top of the world as a just a young girl, but as she became older, she started to lose grip of herself. We were all crazy for her while she was the star actress of “The Amanda Show”, but now she’s just crazy. Hester Prynne from the novel “The Scarlet Letter,” and Amanda have a few aspects in common as well as several considerable differences. The beginning of Amanda's troubled times started in April of 2012 in South Carolina when a report came out that she had hit a police car. They had tested her to see if she was under the influence of any kind of substance, and issued her a DUI. The charge was dismissed later one and replaced with her attending an alcohol education class, three years of probation, and having to pay some hefty fines. A few years later, Sunday on September 28 in 2014 she was reported to have stopped in the middle of an intersection for a red light. This caused suspicion with officers and she was tested once …show more content…

Over the past year or so she has had numerous counseling sessions that she has shown miraculous improvements in. Bynes has also stated that she is no longer taking any medications and is still doing just fine. This is including marijuana. She has been clean for over 9 months now and she says she sees no future of herself ever turning back (“Agrees”). Amanda Bynes could be debated that she is a real life Hester Prynne. Both ladies have been publicly shunned for a sin that they were accused of with evidence of such matter. Hester was simply committed of one sin; adultery, while Amanda has quite a numerous amount of items on her plate. But in the end however, both have made a better life for themselves. Hester, (spoiler alert) before she died, went to Europe with Pearl to start over. Amanda is still in rehab and as shown many, many changes in

    She cannot be defined by just one label, but both. She is a mother to Pearl, who is a child born from adultery. She is a caregiver, seamstress, a lover, and a counselor, but the Puritanical society Hester lives in constantly reminds her that she is just a whore. By subscribing to this label, Hester loses her identity in a way. The effect of being an outsider due to the letter causes her to become a shell of her former self.

    Susan Glaspell’s “A Jury of Her Peers,” is a short story that was adapted from her own play “Trifles.” While the basic plot and characters are the same in both versions, there are some noticeable differences between the two. In this essay, I will consider the reasons Glaspell may have had for rewriting the play in short story form, the main differences between telling a story through narration and telling it through drama, and how the story might be different if it were adapted as another form, such as a poem or a film. One possible reason why Glaspell rewrote "Trifles" as a short story is that it allowed her to explore the characters' inner lives in greater depth. In the play, the characters are limited to what they can say and do on stage,

One of the main reasons why Hester Prynne is an important and progressive feminist character in The Scarlet Letter is her refusal to follow societal norms or to be put down by her peers. A primary example of her refusal to be put down by her peers is when Hester brandishes her

After concerts Amanda would “couch surf,” which means stay where ever she could after a concert, she would tweet I need a place to stay and usually she would find a place for the night. Once again if I posted that anywhere away from home I highly doubt that I would find a place to hang for the night. Due to Amanda’s popularity and a rising star in the music industry she is able to receive those things from people, but once again she could have not received them if she did not simply
