Young Goodman Brown

Young Goodman brown was a very interesting story. Goodman brown was a gentleman that went looking for his wife and he kept encountering people on the way. The people that he encountered were nice to him. I was surprised that he kept thinking the devil would come for him. I think Goodman brown was seeing thing that weren't really there.

BIG QUESTION

Why is it hard to say you're wrong, but easy to say you're right?

ANCIENT STORIES

1. I feel that the language in this text is similar because we talk the same way as the character were in the story
2. It's important for a story to be repeated word by word because it helps us understand the story better. It helps us to understand the true meaning of the story.

The Earth On the Turtle's Back

To begin this was a beautiful story. I would have never thought that the ancient chief's wife would fall into the hole. I was surprised that the animals on the water could talk. When the queen fell I thought she was gonna die, but two swans helped her. I felt like the message in the story was that we should never judge others. This story kind of reminded me of Richard Cory.
