Response on A Dream Within A Dream

My response on A Dream Within A Dream is that I don’t understand how it began by saying about a kiss upon the brow and ending about holding onto the golden sand .

Goodman Brown question

1. I think Hawthorne’s purpose was to give us a lesson about to not judge people by looks because they can me the whole opposite of what we think .
2. Yes it fit her because he would always think about her and every time they would mention her pink ribbons would pop out .
3. I think the pink ribbons signify young Goodman’s wife .
4. I think it was a dream because somewhere in the story talks about him waking up in the village .
5. The old man was the devil because he had a serpent staff.
6. The staff represents a snake .
7. Maybe he wouldn’t have looked at faith differently and not lose his faith .

Young Goodman Brown

I’m glad Dr. Preston read young Goodman along with us because it’s heloubg me understand it better and to know what some words I don’t know mean .

Today I was thinking

Today I was thinking about my grades , and about my journal . I’ve been doing all my work to turn it in on time and I was thinking if all my hard work was going to be worth it .

I AM GSD

I am an independent learner because I am organized. It can be hard but if you pay attention and try it’ll be helpful . I work better at home because In school I get distracted a lot and talk a lot . Listening to music helps me learn better because when I’m doing my work it helps me concentrate.

Was it only a dream ?

I agree that young Goodman was dreaming because he’s probably going on a trip soon and he was probably nervous about it so he started dreaming about it . Maybe his faith used pink ribbons which made him see them every where . Sometimes dreams feel so real that when you wake up you think it was real and even have a feeling . I agree that it was only a dream .
