My Essay Essay

How does Hawthorne communicate this theme? The message or theme that I noticed from this short story was that it was written to, perhaps, show the evils of the devil. To show that no matter how innocent one may seem, there is always evil within. Allusion: - “So saying, he threw it down at her feet, where, perhaps, it assumed life, being one of the rods, which its owner had formerly lent to Egyptian Magi.” This is from the biblical book of Exodus, and in that book, the Pharaoh’s court turned their staves into serpents to intimidate Moses. Moses and his brother Aaron also had staves capable of magic, but that power was believed to have come from God rather than the devil. - “...; and there was a world of meaning in this simple comment.” The scene with Goody Cloyse is very important because by showing Goody Cloyse to be a witch, Satan is turning Goodman Brown’s world upside down. If Goody Cloyse, who represent to Brown a strong woman of faith, is indeed allied with Satan, what is ...

My Thesis Statement

The main point from “Young Goodman Brown” that would be somewhat interesting to have as a prompt would be having to point out the evils of the devil and how those evil can taint and lead people towards the wrong path. I believe that if we’re writing an essay or reflecting about a story instead of simply assigning us to do an essay, would be tough without a specific prompt because many can go off topic. At least, I know I would be confused and my essay would not make sense, but it’ll be related to “Young Goodman Brown” for sure.

Young Goodman Brown Questions

1. I have a feeling that Hawthorne wrote the story to give a point that although there are many stories that may scare human beings for many reasons, our mind is the one that scares us the most, but we somewhat don’t point it out. Also, it may be a way to deliver a message to spouses that men, or women, can be loyal at first, but can easily waver and turn dark the next. How human beings are capable of sinning. 2. After reading the story, I agree because I do believe that her name does suit her. Brown’s “faith” was supposed to stay with Faith. 3. I have a feeling that the pink ribbons signifies the type of personality or characteristic Faith has because she is a young and happy person. Maybe it’s a kind of symbol for purity of a young mind. 4. What Brown witnessed was, I believe, is real due to the lines, “The evil magic was out in to make Brown think he was in a dream. His view on people will be forever changed.” That it was a hallucination of some sort conjured by something evil...

Literary Analysis 1

Summary: Tahereh Mafi’s Defy Me Novel, the fifth book of the Shatter Me Series, started the book off by explaining the cliffhanger from the previous book. The leading female character, Juliette, also known as Ella, did not have her own point of view like the usual until later on. As well as the leading male character, Warner, also known as Aaron, for they have been captured during a chaos of mass murder caused by Juliette or the government. As they focus on solving what caused the chaos and where the leading characters are taken to, the rest of the characters are forced to evacuate. Before evacuating, they came to a conclusion and realised that they don’t know much about which reality is real. That is, therefore, one of the main points to remember as a reader read. Towards the end, the characters have found out what they called their “second chance at peace”, and Mafi uses Aaron’s birthday as a way to end the book on a happy note. Theme: The theme of the novel, or the entire serie...

- I have a feeling that Hawthorne wrote the story to give a point that although there are many stories that may scare human beings for many reasons, our mind is the one that scares us the most, but we somewhat don’t point it out. Also, it may be a way to deliver a message to spouses that men, or women, can be loyal at first, but can easily waver and turn dark the next. - I believe that Stephen King is so affected by the story because the story is cleverly written; so many symbols that does catch an interest of a reader. - This story points out the fact of faith being easily changed due to the lack of it, and to not trust so easily just because of any type of connections. It also points out that a human mind once goes crazy or out of control once one or more of our senses, mainly sight, is covered, and that is because our brain automatically heightens the senses left.

The Medium Is The Message

Even without any type of hacking, I do believe that others can see through my conversions because I have so much accounts to keep track of and am logged in multiple websites in multiple gadgets. Whether it’d be in my iPad, phone, laptop, computer, family members’ phones, friends’ phones, etc. All those people are able to access them freely and surf through my personal life. I am actually struggling lately to find the perfect channel to chat about or keep private matters without others misunderstanding or pestering me about them. Therefore, I have no answer because technically speaking, we have no privacy, and as much as I love technology, I greatly despise it.
