YGB Questions

What do you think Hawthorne's purpose was for writing this story? It was to tell readers how easily it is to change a persons point of view. 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 is the good girl in the story. Goodman Brown only hope was that faith was a sin free person. He was clinging on her when tested on his beliefs. But then that view is  shattered in his face. What do you think the pink ribbons signify? I happen to believe that the ribbon is a symbol for purity and i read that the color pink is related to innocence, due to its similarity to white. 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 it's all too real. For a sane person to see all this must be on some drugs.  Who do you think the old

Hacker for life

Man, this essay was dope. I like how he was so honest with us. He was a smooth guy. I must agree with him and his point that; hacking is a way to explore and express your self. I agree with him 100%. I think it's not a crime for doing that, I have some exceptions.

Young Goodman Brown

Okay; in the beginning of the story I did not really understand what was going on. Also what was going on, but as I continued to read I started to see what it was about. All I understood was that good man was being enlighten about his faith. The man was telling him the truth about his beliefs. Thus, breaking his illusion of faith he had. I found this to be quite interesting for it's truth on reality.

Ancient Stories

The language in the story of "Earth on Turtles Back" to is very simple vocabulary and with short sentences. It is very similar to how we students talk to each other. On the other hand the language is meant to make it easier to memorize and transmute with each other. I think it is important to say a oral story word by word, because it might be losing its meaning from what it original meant. But it unavoidable to not lose word in the process. It's like the game telephone; it starts off good but ends up a whole different way at the end. Each person might understand it differently then the previous person. I just read many native american creation stories and i noticed that the all have great respect for animals. They believe that animals were a great part to the earths creation. Just like the turtle other thought animals created land on earth. Thus, giving them a great reason to protect nature.

Turtle's Dusty Back

I just read "The Earth on Turtle's". I found it quiet funny. Funny I say, because it's kind of a rash reason how the earth came to be. But who am I to say how ancient people decided to say the earth came to be. We Christians believe a holy deity said some word and from those word truth came out.This story was almost like for a child, I can understand; they made this simple for anyone to learn it fast.I did enjoy the part when the muskrat went down. i really liked is bravery. The other animals underestimated the small thing, but at the end he saved the day. It was almost like a cliche. Over all I have to say it was a great story and entertaining.

Overview of "The Right to Your Opinion"

I just read " The Right to Your Opinion " and I thought it was very interesting. I find it funny how irrelevant our opinion is to an argument. The part were he was explaining about matters of the truth were very intriguing. The truth in our opinion; is what we believe in and that blows my mind. My head just gets all tingly inside when I think of this. To be honest I do this very often with my opinions and my i realize how utterly illogical I sounded.All in all I recommend people to read this and understand how saying our opinion really works and what it implies.
