Young Goodman Brown and A Dream Within a Dream

       The story "Young Goodman Brown" and the poem "Dream Within A Dream"  can make us think about how we look at dreaming. The stories have many in common, though they also have other things that are different from each other.
      The story " Young Goodman Brown" and the poem "Dream Within A Dream" make us look at the fact how we dream and what is going on. Both of them have a realistic feeling to them as if we were in the setting. They also dont tell us the readers that they both take place in a dream, we had to figure that out for ourselves. This is a nice feature they put in their writings and they keep us the readers really entertained. Also it makes us eager to find out what the concept is. Young Goodman Brown and A Dream Within A Dream are both alike because they have a concept of making the reading a dream but they dont actually tell us.
      Young Goodman Brown is different from A Dream Within A Dream because of the setting and the amount of writing. YGB was a story that had a main character and the story followed along with his beliefs and his perspective on the world. He had a wife named Faith, and he left her behind, and because of this, it was as if he left his own faith.
     A Dream Within a Dream is a poem, but still does grab ones attention. This poem is rhythmic and keeps a short length, unlike YGB. In the poem, it is asking us questions to think to ourselves, but still is telling us the authors story. Dream Within a Dream also focuses on a setting of a beach. While YGB has a forest setting.
     Young Goodman Brown and Dream Within a Dream are different in many ways. They also do have some things in common. In order to see that, we need to have an open mind and see things similarly.

EVERY ONE IS , DIFFERENT

What i had learned through out my high school years so far is, school is not for everybody. Everybody is interested in something, but not everybody is interested in the same thing. I feel like i know what i personally want, and what i don't want, or at least i think i do. I don't feel motivated to do some of my math work, but when it comes to my science, or history, i do my work because im interested in what goes on. I like the feeling of doing my work, and actually enjoying the time doing that. What i dont like, however, is when i have to complete some work for math because well, i don't enjoy math. Its not that i dont like coming to school, but i just don't feel like math is interesting. There are some people that would die for math, and there people that would die for art because those people are doing what they love. For every minute i spend doing math, i feel like its another minutes of my life being spent in a wrong way. And i just want to let you know that these

Young Goodman Brown

These are my answers to the "Young Goodman Brown" questions. 1.  What do you think Hawthorne's purpose was for writing this story?        I think his purpose in writing this story was to explain to us that we all have different mind sets. Many of us have a different way of seeing the world, and also have different ways of expressing ourselves to the world. 2. Hawthorne states that Brown's wife is "aptly named" Faith.  After reading the story, do you agree?  Does Faith's name fit her personality?  Does Brown have true faith in her?    Yes, i agree and feel like Faith's name fits her personality. The writer did a good job in setting this character up with the story in how Brown had to leave his Faith behind. Since his wife's name is Faith, we the readers look at it as if he left his wife, and he lost his faith in himself. 3. What do you think the pink ribbons signify? I think the pink ribbons signify that faith will always be wi

Brave New World Essay

     In Brave New World, a character who conforms outwardly but is questioned inwardly would have to be John. John is an alpha who is supposed to be this top dog, in this higher class group, though he was made with a little bit of alcohol in his blood surrogate. Bernard is also different from the alphas because he would rather be alone in nature, and rejects taking soma. In the following passage i will explain how Bernard from Brave New World is closely related to a real human, and how he is different.      Bernard Marx was created an alpha, but had a little alcohol mixed with his blood surrogate. This is the reason why Bernard is pretty much the outcast of the story. He was meant to be the main group of the Brave New World, but only to be rejected by all of them because he doesnt meet the requirements of an alpha. Instead, Bernard is smaller than all the alphas and wishes he could just fit in with them. This makes him become anti-social with all the others, because he is shorter than
