YGB Questions :

I think that Hawthorne's purpose of writing the story was because you think you know a person so well that they surprise you and maybe not in a good way and it ends up effecting you, Creating trust issues and you want to believe in a person but actually really can't. Another that I thought about was that in our memories we can never forget even if we want to.

I believe that Goodman brown's wife fit her role/name as faith. From what I read Faith tired to help her husband in the beginning and she did give her husband faith for a split second when he found out that the lady was a witch.

In the story the author mentions a pink ribbon that belonged to faith. i think the ribbon symbolized faith(since his wife wears it) but, when it flew and he saw it drifting in the wind then it got caught in a branch, he himself said "My Faith is gone! ,cried he.There is no good on earth; and sin is 
but a name.Come, devil! for to thee is this world given." And I'm pretty sure he didn't mean his wife's name. But his.

I believe that brown did in fact not  witness the whole thing. I think it was a dream. The reason I think this is because in dreams anything can happen. sometimes you don't even realize its a dream since it seems so real. And in this story there was lots of symbols and foreshadowing. Like in the beginning of the story Goodman's wife tried to stoop him from going outside, and the ribbon and staff where something that was mentioned throughout the story. 

I think the old man is the devil since the old lady confirmed it herself.  "The devil!" screamed the pious old lady.
"Then Goody Cloyse knows her old friend?" observed the traveler, confronting her, and leaning on his writhing stick


If brown stayed home then he would have faith yet he would not have known the truth about the old lady someone he trusted. But at least he would lived his wife not knowing all of the truth and he probably would have been happy.

The digital divide

Digital divide : Def. gulf between those who have ready access to computers and the internet, and those who do not I do have access to a digital device and wifi. Using technology nowadays is very help like if you didn't understand what you teacher thought you you can search it up. And it's very easy to access since we have our own phones. Our data is neither private nor protected. On online if people research my name I won't have any bad things. All you'll see is baby pics, school , achievement etc. but referring to Snapchat that's a whole different story. Don't get it wrong I don't do illegal stuff or anything else. But you'll probably find me doing weird stuff like dumb funny stuff. Like any normal teen does like goofing around.

Emerson's Child

           These past few days we discussed Emerson's essay, I think I've got some ideas on how Emerson thinks, yet again I'm not him and these are my opinions. If Emerson would here to see the 2016 presidential election,  I think Emerson would view the presidential election like any of us quite confusing on how we ended up with such two candidates. "... God will not have his work made manifest by cowards." this quote means if any of those two candidates where to become president that he/she better do a good job in keeping the humanity safe because god didn't send his son for him just to be executed to save the world and then one of these two end up ruining it. And since one of them is going to become president we " must accept in the highest mind the same transcendent destiny; and not minors and invalids in a protected corner, not cowards fleeing before a revolution, but guides, redeemers, and benefactors, obeying the Almighty effort, and advancing on C

Questions pg. 148-158

"Don't judge a book by its cover" cliché thing to say, they considered themselves books  Montag still cares for Mildred since he her husband and feels sympathy towards her. I think the  author is showing us how montag is becoming more human like and how he is changing  The hands show the person personality. Meaning grangers grandfather is dead and mildread was lifeless, her hands wouldn't do a thing basically like grangers dead grandfather ( her hands didn't want to get " dirty" )  Granger told montag the story of his grandfather and how he did these things which many can do but not the way he used to do it ( it's not the same) 3 seconds was the time going slow in slow motion like in movies, but for me when I first read three seconds " all of the time in history " I automatically thought of it as, my life flashed before my eyes Phoniex , it would did in the flame of fire and  reincarnate but it wouldn't take in mind what he did w
