YOUNG OLD GOOD BAD

 Why do you think Hawthorne wrote "Young Goodman Brown"? 

    I believe Hawthorne wrote "Young Goodman Brown," to display the sensation of evil we have within ourselves. How it manipulate our reality and drives us mad. Like the events that supposedly occur to Young Goodman Brown. Did those events actually happened or was it all a dream. Either way, real or not it changed the way Young Goodman Brown proceeds life. The imagination is a powerful thing, it affects us positively or negatively. Dream enough of evil things the person may end up doing those things they dreamt of. So in a way dreams can create an evil person. So we cant really know of a person true colors, because push enough thoughts into a person mind and the next thing you know they turned into a devil.

OCTOBER IS FOR WINNERS

  What really challenged me last semester was me. I was my own struggle, trying to convince myself to do my assignments was quite difficult believe it or not. The lack of motivation I had, terrible.

I'm here trying to finish all my assignment of the past few weeks the day before grades. Not to o well, so its not what I'm going to do this October to better succeed but what i will be doing to succeed next month. First ill need to built a schedule and be organized. Then built discipline within myself and from then on turn

Young Goodman Brown

QUESTIONS: 1.What do you think Hawthorne's purpose was for writing this story? To show that what you believe isn't always what it seems. 2.Hawthorne states that Brown's wife is "aptly named" Faith.  After reading the story, do you agree?  Does Faith's name fit her personality?  Does Brown have true faith in her? Yes, faith does fit her personality. Brown does have faith in her, well he did until the end where he started questioning her. 3.What do you think the pink ribbons signify? I think signify a young girl. 4.Was everything Brown witnessed real, a figment of his imagination, something conjured by evil, or a dream?  Support your answer with passages from the text. It was a dream. "Be it so, if you will. But, alas! it was a dream of evil omen for young Goodman Brown. A stern, a sad, a darkly meditative, a distrustful, if not a desperate man, did he become, from the night of that fearful dream." 5.Who do you think the old man really is?  What textua
