 I think Edgar Allan Poe is trying to imply that a nightmare happens within a dream or i can be wrong. This is my first time reading this poem. I've read Edgar Allan poems in jr. high and i remember his poems being dark, scary and a gloomy setting. That's where i think nightmares come in. 

Young Goodman got me thinking at the end. How if this really happened in reality or was it all a Lucid dream? I wonder if saying goodbye to Faith was real, walking into that forest, and meeting the man with the cane. The man he meets in the forest is using a serpent like cane to help him walk better. He offers it to Young Goodman. This portrays a part from the bible using Adam and Eve as an example to the cane as being the devil, yet he refuses it why? He says he's a good christian and wants to return back for Faith's sake, why? Faith goes to the evil side and does everyone else. Young Goodman finds himself back in Salem Village and turns me back to my point in saying all this was just a lucid dream and his mindset completely changes to everyone having some evil in them. Even his Faith with her pink ribbons.

I feel like when a teacher assigns is a prompt we have leverage, and advantage, and more structure to begin the essay. All though having a prompt sometimes can be stressful not knowing anything about or even lacking evidence, that,s when choosing your own prompt comes in handy. I also like the idea when teachers give us the choice to chose our own prompt out of 3 or 2 choices or lets us study them before he or she chooses one for us. Getting handed a prompt can be better for us but there's times where it doesn't benefit us but for the majority its does.

1. I believe Hawthorne’s purpose for this story is share the themes he is trying to show his audience. 2.  In this story the author describes Faith as this gentle and outgoing character but is very mindful. I think the author chose to chose this character’s name Faith because she was Goodman’s faith in guiding him to the good and keeping his heart open. In the beginning it seems as if he didn’t have faith in her but as the story started to unwind it seemed as if he learned his lesson in his own ways. 3. The pink ribbons that the authors used constantly in the beginning of the story signify Faith’s girly but good hearted personality and later in the story he uses them again as a symbol that it is Faith. 4. I believe everything that Goodman Brown witnessed was just a horrible dream, all this evil manifesting in him was just a bad dream. In the eighth paragraph the author says something about an ‘evil purpose he had’. So being said I think he was going to do something guilty but...

The book I finished reading was A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khalid Hosseini. Throughout this book there is many different themes you get out of it and the author is trying to show us. I think one important theme is friendship, this shows when Mariam and Laila develop a friendship throughout their hard lives and at one point in this abusive relationship they stand of for each either from Rasheed. He at some points tries to strangle Laila but Mariam jumps in and end up saving her and killing Rasheed. There is a plot to each of Mariam’s side and Laila’s side. Mariam’s side is having an abusive relationship with Rasheed and having awful miscarriages and not achieving the son he want and eventually leads to Laila having that same abusive relationship with Rasheed once she gives him the son he wanted. I feel like the way the author puts words together is so academic which leads me to diction and the way he puts his sentences together makes imagine a little picture/movie in my head understati...

There isn’t enough time in the day to accomplish every certain task you desire. I feel like school takes up that time but I try to do what I can after school. One thing we can try to do it manage your time and do the important tasks first the less so important ones next and have some free time at the end as a little reward to what you have accomplished.
