young Goodman brown

1. I think Hawthorne wrote this book to show that not everyone is as good or true to themselves as they seem to be.

2. at the start of the story, we didn't really know much about her, but as the story went on, her name fit her personality and young Goodman brown had faith in her until the very end of the story .

3. I think the pink ribbons symbolize that she was someone special and that she was like a guidance type figure .

4. i think it was a dream because, in the story, it states that, " But, alas! it was a dream of evil omen for young Goodman Brown. A stern, a sad, a darkly meditative, a distrustful, if not a desperate man, did he become, from the night of that fearful dream." the author is saying that this was a dream and that this was the work of the characters imagination 

5. I think the old man is God or a greater power than man 

6. I think the staff represents his mind/consciousness telling him to keep on going. 

7. his life would have been very different and he would still have faith, his wife, and faith in everyone in the town
