YGB Questions!!!!

QUESTIONS:

1. What do you think Hawthorne's purpose was for writing this story? I think hawthornes purpose was to show how somethings can be really different from how they really are.
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? Faith's name doesn't fit her personality because of what happened in the woods. Brown doesnt have true faith in her because he saw her in the woods with the other people. 
3. What do you think the pink ribbons signify? I think the pink ribbon signifies Browns faith in his wife because she always had it on and the moment she lost it was when Brown saw her in the woods.
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. I think everything Brown witnessed was something conjured by the evil because it was all the Brown didn't believe was possible in a bad way. 
5. Who do you think the old man really is?  What textual clues tell you this? I think the old man is the devil because he is leading Brown to the woods where he would see all the things that Brown wishes weren't true. 
6. What does the staff represent?  Do you think the staff leads Brown onward or is the primary motivator Brown's own conscience/mind? The staff represents everyone that Brown trusted and I believe that they did lead brown onward because he was shocked by what he was seeing and continued. 
7. If Brown had not ventured into the forest, how would his life be different?  If he'd stayed home, would Brown still have Faith?  Would he still trust his wife and his fellow townspeople? If Brown stayed home that night he would still have faith and trust everyone because he would've not gone to the woods.

Young Goodman Brown Response!!!!

This story is interesting to me because it was happening while people were being acused as witches. I didnt really get most of the story but the most interesting part ofbthe story that i understood is when he loses all faith in humankind.

The Consciense of a Hacker Response!!!!

I liked reading this essay. The author really did a good job of putting us in his perspective. People think that all hackers are the same and maybe they are but I believe that some people are smarter and want to learn more about what they are interested in not what they teach us.

ANCIENT STORIES

I believe we txt different than we speak because we probably say more when we talk.
I think that it doesn't really matter how you say a story, it will still have the same meaning.

Response to The Earth on Turtles back

Overall for this was an amazing story, it has a lot in it for people to learn. This story shows that no matter how you look you can do something if you are determined. The only thing that stops you from doing what you want is you. For example all the animals couldn't bring up the earth and the only animal that was able to bring it up was the muskrat because he was determined and he told himself that he would bring it up no matter how hard it was for him. I like this story because it sends a good message to people.
