My Essay Essay

 Hawthorne communicates the theme in Young Goodman Brown by having characters with symbolic names, using the setting, and also representing characters as a sort of bad or devilish figure. The author lets us see the pure evil that even the good have in them. 

 The author first lets us see the good in Young Goodman Brown by having him being woken up by his dearest wife Faith. That is until he walks on onto path towards his evil purpose. In this part the author describes the setting Goodman Brown enters as "darkened by all the gloomiest trees of the forest, which barely stood aside to let the narrow path creep through, and closed immediately behind". Young Goodman Brown then starts to get paranoid of demons being around.

The Earth on Turtle's Back

My thoughts on "The Earth on Turtle's Back" is that the story is written very well. The way it structures the origins of what was before earth and how it was made. The way the woman is used by having her fall into a hole holding onto nothing but seeds. How animals speak and the use of personification also like the water animals. How the animals see the seeds as the last hope of a new earth.

The Making Of An Essay

Anytime I hear an assignment and it's an essay words such as boredom, long/trouble-thinking, and stress. Writing essays has had a big impact on how I write and how I think. Essays have affected the way I write by having me constantly ask the teacher "oh how do you want me to write it" or "do I write this way". Essays have affected the way I think because I have to remind myself what I have to add in such as a hook in the first paragraph and how many pieces of evidence I need.

I CARE ABOUT YOUR UNDERSTANDING

Today I'm writing with the intention of being understood. Today I will be expressing my thoughts on the topic of videos games causing violence. I find this excuse for causing shootings to be really stupid as the excuse only factors in that the shooter has played video games and that's it. These news outlets don't look into the person's mental state, how they are at home or school. This just gets on to my nerves when the excuse of a school shooting has to be constantly blamed on video games.
