I went from Wingo to Linne and I was now, for the first time, part of a married household. But I was hoping that grace and forgiveness could make up for those many years in which I had been left to walk down the aisle of my life alone. He was there to give me away but had not been there to raise me. I love watching a father walking his daughter down the aisle because of all it represents: a father who has walked along his daughter in life, protecting and shepherding her until he places his precious child into the hands of a man who will take equally good care of her. ![]() He was the beaming father by my side, handing off his 27-year-old daughter to Shai on one of the most important days of my life. ![]() Despite being a Jehovah’s Witness who does not often step foot in a Christian church, he gladly came.

In fact, Coase quite clearly identifies his own views with those of Alfred Marshall, and, given the important role played by Marshall in the establishment of the British approach to doing economics in the early 20th century, it becomes less surprising that Coase’s views coincide so closely with this British tradition. ![]() However, as Posner (1993b) and Medema (1994a,b 1995b) have pointed out, it would be incorrect to associate Coase with the so-called Chicago view.

"I think I'm a better writer," Babb told the Chicago Tribune in 2004. Liking one novel over the other is a matter of taste Sanora Babb, as is natural, preferred her own work. One focuses on individual characters, the other attempts to tell a broader story about America. One spends more time in Oklahoma, the other spends more time in California. ![]() In many ways, the books are complementary takes on the same subject: one book is spare and detailed, the other is big and ambitious. Steinbeck’s work, considered his masterpiece by many, is a sweeping novel bursting with metaphor and imagery. Babb’s novel is a carefully observed portrayal of several families that draws on her Oklahoma childhood. While both novels are about displaced farmers coming to California, they’re very different books. Sanora Babb wrote Whose Names Are Unknown at the same time Steinbeck wrote The Grapes of Wrath, using much of the same research material. But it also stopped the publication of another novel, silencing the voice of an author more intimately connected to the plight of Oklahoma migrants because she was one herself. ![]() The story of a destitute family fleeing the Dust Bowl sold 430,000 copies in a year and catapulted John Steinbeck to literary greatness.

When Goodman Brown meets the man, who we later learn is the devil, the devil himself is seated on an “old tree.” The devil might leap out “from behind a tree” at any moment, he fears. ![]() He cries out “Too far! Too far!.My father never went into the woods on such an errand.” Trees are symbols of sin, hiding spots for the devil and Indian “savages”: “here may be a devilish Indian behind every tree,” he worries aloud. Going into the woods means descending into the arms of the devil. When the devil tries to lure Goodman Brown deeper into the forest, Goodman Brown equates the forest with a break from his faithful legacy. Home is a safe harbor of faith, but the forest represents the home of evil and the devil himself, a place where “no church had ever been gathered or solitary Christian prayed.” The threshold Goodman Brown finds himself perched upon in the opening lines of the story is not just between himself and his wife, Faith, but between the safety of the town and the haunted realm of the forest into which he ventures. ![]() Hawthorne uses the forest to represent the wild fearful world of nature, which contrasts starkly with the pious orderly town of Salem. ![]() ![]() Tarena’s mother and uncle believe that their father Kit made the carving for their mother Francesca, and as it was neither sold nor given away, it is rightfully theirs. ![]() Although Tarena has just completed her final law exams, Tarena’s mother urges her to investigate the ownership of a butterfly carved from pearl shell and turned into a brooch.
