Impacted by the family background and social trend,Hawthorne frequently got perplexed.At the same time,he also criticized the extremism in traditional Puritanism and insisted on a more tolerant attitude towards the dissidents.So Hawthorne established his own Puritanism,which is based on the traditional Puritanism and influenced by Transcendentalism and personal experience.As a result,Hawthorne’s fictions are filled with his own concept of Puritanism and The House of the Seven Gablesreveals his Puritanism as can be seen from the characters and the use of symbolism.
Automated Writing Evaluation(AWE) program is designed to provide instant scores based on automated writing scoring engine along with diagnostic feedback. Five main AWE programs are introduced, four invented by foreign companies and one by Chinese native company for Chinese students. This paper reviews studies on AWE home and abroad from perspectives of its validity and instructional application. These studies have shown that AWE program should be used as an instructional tool to improve writing skill rather than only as a scoring and feedback engine. So how to implement and integrate AWE program into instructional context and to achieve more desirable learning outcomes while avoiding potential harms should be the focus of study for the future research.
