Young Goodman Brown

1.) Allegory: You are always close to evil, but there is something that holds use back, but when reason is lost, there is nothing to stop you.

2.) Pink ribbon: This is a symbol of innocence, and when the ribbon falls from the sky it is when Goodman Brown has lost his innocence and then he goes to the congragation
Faith- Is a symbol of Faith, when he is with her, he still has faith but when she disappears it is because her has lost faith
The Old man- The devil, we know because of the he carries staff, when he touches things living, like the trees, the all crumple and die, and we also know he represents the devil because he has been around for a long time, knowing Goodman Brown's Grandpa and Dad.

3.)I believe they were all illusions, I believe it was a dream to make him lose faith in the world, they were tricks that the devil played on Goodman Brown. They were just images to get Goodman Brown to do what the devil wants.

4.) Young Goodman Brown

5.) Egytian Magi- It is allusion to the bible, The Egytian Magi had staffs that turned into snakes
Kings Philip's War allusion to King Philips war

6.) I like this story even though I couldn't understand a lot of the allusions because I don't go to church I believe that it is a very well written story, that still leaves you questioning at the end whether this happened to Young Goodman Brown or not. I liked it because it showed how close we are to evil and the struggle we have between good and bad in our life. It makes you question yourself on what keeps you from being evil? What is your faith? I like how this story makes you think not just about what is happening in the story but also your life.

7.) He is critical about them to make a point to the reader of them doing something bad.

8.) The theme is that evil is always at your doorstep.
