YGB QUESTIONS

1. I think his purpose of writing this story was to show us how easily someone as "innocent" as Goodman Brown could be persuaded into going to the meeting.
2. Faiths name sort of fits her personality.
3. The ribbons signify her innocence in this story and are a constant reminder of Goodman Brown's faith.
4. Well throughout the story, he says things that suggest he may not really be experiencing everything that's happening. Towards he end of the story he is alone in the forest which some would say he dreamed the whole things and sleep walked to the forest. However, his travelling companion is revealed to be the devils do you can imagine he can do some "magic" and leave Goodman Brown to wonder whether everything was real or not, ruining his life because he can't trust anyone in the village.
5. I think the old man is the devil because when they were in the forest, Goody Cloyse greets him as the devil mentioning they are old pals.
6. The staff represents Goodman Brown moving onward but towards evil .
7. If Goodman Brown stayed home he would have a normal life, but he would still be deceived by everyone.

Response to Young Goodman Brown

I think Young Goodman Brown should have stayed home like Faith wanted him too, but he was set on going into the forest to the meeting. His travelling companion asked him multiple times if he wanted to use his serpent shaped staff but Goodman Brown refused however, he accepted it later on. This was like when the serpent offered Eve a piece of fruit from the forbidden tree and in both Goodman Brown's and Eve's case it lead them to their downfall.

The Conscience of the Hacker

What the person in The Conscience of the Hacker was trying to do was prove a point, that schools don't teach the things you want to learn it's all repetitive to him, and hacking interested him because it was something new. He also wanted to make clear not all hackers are criminals ,they are just doing what interests them. The tone of the essay was serious and spiteful because he wasn't joking around about the issues he discussed and he wasn't happy about the accusations that he was a criminal.

My Question

What really happens to us when we die? Is heaven real ?

ANCIENT STORIES

1. The difference between the language used in The Earth on Turtle's  Back it's more serious than how I would speak in everyday conversations.

2. It's important for the story to be repeated exactly how it was because if someone decides to retell it from an altered version then, it will have lost its original meaning.

Response to The Earth on Turtle's Back

I have read many versions on how the Earth came to be but I have never heard about this one. I think this one is my favorite because all the animals volunteered to help out the Woman from the Sky. Even though all of them failed, except the muskrat it was nice of them to try.
