Compare and contrast ESSAY

In the story of "Young Goodman Brown" we know that he was dreaming. In the poem "A Dream Within a Dream" talks about things that they do or see everything is a dream. In both of them the stories have some similarities and some differences. As we all know that in stories and poems are always going to have also different author tone. Everything had a difference and some similarities. It's so interesting how everything is so detailed from the story and the poem. Such as the characters in the story as well as the tone or even how the words are written. Everything has a thing to their own. In the story of "Young Goodman Brown" by Hawthrone's talks about how Brown experienced something really weird in his dream. In his dream you can understand what happened in the forest. Everything was so detailed. The things that are the same to the poem is that it also talks about a dream. In the story of Young Goodman Brown explains how Brown saw a man in the wood...

A dream within a dream response

The poem is basically talking about how everything we see is in a dream. What ever we experience is in a dream. So, everything we do or see is a dream.

Young Goodman Brown Response

My response to this story is that I was surprised that women would poison their husbands at night. Not only that, but women also killed their babies and bury them in the backyard. I did not know that until Dr. Preston told us while reading the story. That is something new that I learned.

Young Goodman Brown (what I learned today)

What did you learn from the story today? I read the story on Sunday, but did not get much of the information. I thank Dr. Preston for reading it to the whole class. I knew that Brown went to the woods and saw an old man with a cane with a snake figure. I also knew that the devil was telling Brown to take more steps into the woods. What I really forgot was that Brown lost his faith. Also, that the devil was taking him to a witch meeting. Young Goodman Brown was caught easy. I also learned a new words throughout the story that I read and did not know what they mean even though I had some vocab posted in my blog. 

Here's what I learn today

What did you learn today? What I learned today is about how much I done in my blog. I am very proud of my blog even though I'm still learning on how to use it. As well as my journal. I didn't really thing my journal was good until I had the conference with Dr. Preston and told me that he liked reading my journal. I actually felt so good when he said that. It even encouraged me to do more on my journal. I learned that we should be confident in our work that we do.  I thank that my teacher said that to me.

Young Goodman Brown argument

Do you think it was a dream or not? Every thing that Young Goodman Brown witnessed was all a dream. Young Goodman Brown In the beginning sounded that it was actually in real life. He did go to the forest and all that, but in the ending the story it even says it's a dream. " Had Goodman Brown fallen asleep in the forest, and only dreamed a wild dream of a  witch meeting? Be it so, if you will. But alas! It was a dream of evil omen for Young Goodman Brown." That can proof that he had a dream. Another proof is that once he wakes up and goes through all the things he is already old and his wife is old too and he can even see his children and he even saw his grand children. He also dies at the very end as well. So that proofs that everything was a dream and not in a real life experience. It was a dream.

Young Goodman Brown Q & A

1. I think that Hawthorne's purpose for writing a story was to make us think on how religion works and how losing faith can be easy. 2. After reading the story I do agree that Brown's wife is named Faith because even though faith has another meaning it also says that Faith is Brown's wife. I think that her name fits to her personality. I think that because she is a nice person and she even told Brown not to leave and I think that she had a reason for her to say that. Faith does have true faith to her because she was helping Brown because she knew something could happen. 3. I think the pink ribbons signify the wife. Everytime the wife is mentioned the pink ribbons appear as well, but I think it also means your faith or hope. 4. Everhthing that Brown witness was only a dream. Not only a dream but an evil dream. In the story it says, " Had Goodman Brown fallen asleep in the forest, and only dreamed of a witch meeting?  Be it so, if you will. But, alas! It was a drea...
