Young Old Good Bad

1. Hawthorne probably wrote "Young Goodman Brown" because he wanted everyone to know that everybody has a dark and evil side to his or her nature. Stephen King was affected by the story because he knows that everyone is not as they seem and that people can get very dark and evil and that what happened to young Goodman brown. This is saying that what we really know about other people and their imaginations are not correct at all and you don't know anything about a person's bad side until they actually show it. Also that people can be so unpredictable with their thoughts and nobody is truly good.

2. reason was that the author describes Faith as a gentle and kind character. And the author chose this character's name as Faith because Faith was Goodman's faith in guiding him to his kindness and true destination. As he was going on through his journey, his memory of Faith began to change.

3. The pink ribbons that were constantly used throughout the story signify Faith's good hearted personality and at the end Goodman uses them as symbol that it is Faith.

4. I truly believe that what Goodman Brown witnessed and experienced in the dark forest was just a horrible nightmare and all that evil was building up in him came out as one bad nightmare. In the story the author states 'evil purpose he had' and what i got from that was that he had evil thoughts and the bad dream brought them out.

5. The old man in the woods was displayed as the devil and the author uses an Adam and Eve reference from the Bible in the 27th paragraph using the phrase 'snake'.

6. The staff represents to Goodman what is right and wrong

7. If Goodman Brown were to stay home that evening this whole thing would have probably happened again since it was a dream and all that evilness was to soon come out sooner or later.
