Young Goodman brown questions

1) Hawthornes purpose was to show how dark people actually are even though they seem to be religious and never commit sins. 2)I agree with his wife being named faith it's a double entendre. Like he leaves "faith" to go on a dark deed in the forest. Brown doesn't have faith in the end. 3) The pink ribbons signify Faith's innocence and the good. 4)" Depending upon one another's hearts, ye had still hoped that virtue were not all a dream! Now are ye undeceived! Evil is the nature of mankind. Evil must be your only happiness. Welcome, again, my children, to the communion of your race!" This helps prove my point that it wasn't a dream. 5)  I think that old man is the devil because his snake staff and because he knows everybody in the village and important people and has known young Goodman's brown grandpa. 6)The staff represents temptation from the Adam and Eve story. I think the staff plays mind games with Goodman brown and shows the towns t

Young Goodman Brown

My first impression of this whole story was the beginning was pretty boring but as soon as I read more I got sucked into it. I think it's pretty crazy how he couldn't tell if it was real or just all a dream. It's crazy how even all the really religious people like the father or pastor were associated with the devil. Even faith was involved. I agree with young Goodman brown never trusting the people in the village after that experience.

Hacker conscience first impressions

My overall opinion over this story was that it's sort of like anonymous but back in the 80s. I like the tone of the the author because it tells us it's ok to be different and being the same is not ok. I like the rebellious tone.

Class notes to success

Theme-the central message  The theme to Richard Cory is you never know what a person is going through . The tone is to repeat the authors attitude towards the audience . Mood is the readers emotion while he reads Syllogism=logos  Premise 1 Premise 2  Conclusion  Truth is factually verifiable in the world  Diction-words an author uses to tell a story  Syntax is the way the author puts the words together The medium is the message- The difference between hearing and listening is how we think it's our brains. 1)verbal -what you say  2)para verbal -how you use your voice  3)non verbal- just using expressions 

Ancient stories

The language is actually not very different compared to ours today just a couple words.i think it's pretty interesting how they told this story over and over without forgetting any major details. I think that there might be a couple parts of missing due to being told over many years with out any one to write it down. I honestly think people embellished it .the language is similar because back in the day we used short sentences and slang like how we do today. Some words might have been left out from the original due to it being translated and words changing over generations. Because it started as an oral story some words might have been left out or they might have added a whole bunch.

First Impressions šŸ¤”

After reading Richard cory I've realized that you never know what a persons going through. No matter how happy or fine someone seems. I feel like this poem is pretty deep. Everybody knows Richard Cory always smiling and everybody wants to be just like him and one day he just kills himself that's pretty crazy. I wonder what caused Richard Cory to finally decide to end his life? Like I'm wondering why if you're rich and have everything you can imagine ? Like I feel like there was some details left out but great poem. The link to the other poem doesn't work for me.
