Young Goodman Brown Symbolism Question

I do not think that the symbolism in Hawthorne's "Young Goodman Brown" is the most important thing that I have learned. I do not think that this is the most important thing that I have learned because I think that there is a lot more important things in the world than a story that basically retails the story of Adam and Eve. It is also not that good of a story and I do not think that it is that interesting and this is another reason why it is not that important.

Young Godman Brown/Meaning Signs and Symbols

1. One symbol that I found was the pink ribbon. The pink ribbon symbolizes love and happiness in the story. The referent of this is that pink ribbon is something you put on close. This interpretation will help me understand the story because the pink ribbon is the only thing that gives Goodman Brown hope because it is the only thing good that stands out in a bright color.

2.Another symbol that I got was the staff that the old man had with him. The staff symbolizes the devil because the staff has carved snake figures around it and the snakes are the devil. The referent of this is a stick that helps people walk. This interpretation helps me understand the story more because the old man with the staff is really the devil and he is trying to bring Faith towards him and away from good.

Online Security

The things that I learned from the online security presentation is that pop ups are bad and the best way to avoid them is to be smart. Don't click any of the adds that pop up because those are the easiest ways to get the pop ups. If you need to close anything just click the red X in the corner to close them and it always works. Another thing that I learned is don't put anything personal online and make sure that your passwords don't have anything close to your personal life. This will help me guide me in a safer way of using electronics because it will help prevent me from doing something that will give any personal information to the open.

Young Goodman Brown Answers

1. I think that Hawthorne's purpose for writing this story is to show us that are dreams affect are lives in big ways. I am saying this because Goodman Brown took his dream seriously and had nothing written on his tombstone.
2. After reading the story I do agree that Brown's wife was aptly named Faith. No, Faith's name does not fit her peronality because she was unsure in which side to follow. No, brown does not have true faith in her because Faith was not sure if she should follow God or the devil.
3. I think that the pink ribbons signify peace or happiness because those are the only things in the story that represent goodness.
