response to "Young Goodmen Brown"

In this story I found it kinda confusing. I noticed in the beginning the author was always reminding us about the pink ribbon on her hat  I feel like the ribbon had a meaning I think the meaning in this case might represent happiness, joy, and innocent.The purpose of this story I think is to take on the journey and don't back down like him and to always stay together don't seperate in the forest.

SOCRATIC SEMINAR #1/ EARTH ON TURTLE'S BACK)

The language from the Earth on Turtles back was different because most people now a days talk slang and the story more serious. Also the story was from along time ago and not everyone speaks like that. It important to say word by word to see how the story changed over time and also that people can use different words and the story will have a whole new meaning. Retelling the story can be helpful if your explaining it to someone that doesn't understand. Also if a word or sentence disappears then the whole story can be changed.

The language in the short story is similar to today world because most of the words we use on a daily. For example ''I know'', "to", "are" , ''there'' ,''tried'' ,and ect.

Response to ''The Earth On Turtle's Back''

In the short story I found it interesting because of the wife dream and how the husband said it was a dream of great powers and how there was nothing but water and animals underneath them. I liked the part where the animals saved her from falling into the ocean and how the Duck, Beaver, and Loon tried to bring up earth but couldn't but then how a small voice said '' I will bring up earth or die trying'' and the small animal Muskrat brought up earth and sense they didn't know where to put earth I like how turtle let the animals put it on his back so the girl would have somewhere to stand.

My First Impression

My first impression to the rights to your opinions was the 5 pages of the reading was intresting. I find that mist people don't know there rights. I feel like everyone should know there rights. I think that everyone had the right to say what they want depending on the moment. If everyone knew there right i am sure it would help them out through life and on difficult moment if there in trouble with the law. Also when the writter mentioned about a friend crossing the street and a car was coming and he told her there was a car coming and kinda saved her life i can relate to that. I can relate because I did the same for a friend when a car was coming because I wouldnt want to watch a friend get hit right in front of me. 

My frist impression on "Richard Cory" was kinda depressing. I found it depressing because everyone believed that he had a good life and he was the perfect type of guy but no one new what was really going on. No one would of thought that he was going through rough times and would put a bullet through his head. Everyone thought he was rich and living his life happy.
