My mad dream of a essay

Remember that time you ate that spicy [burrito]just before you went to bed on the night before the big [basjetball game]?  Oh, that weird dream you had about the 2016 presidential election.  When you woke up you couldn't quite remember the [retarted] details, but after            reading "On Self-Reliance" and "A Sound of Thunder" it's all coming back to you now.

The dream started badly.  You were in line with your family at a [zoo] waiting to be sent to Be in [The gorilla happitap].  Everywhere  you looked there were posters of president-elect [idiot trump], looking like a crazy [orange bam boo ass] who could eat a whole [piece of shit].   

Suddenly, there was Ralph Waldo Emerson telling you, "[ Man is his own star ]."  You realized that you have something to contribute to the world so you decided to [fart].  But it wasn't easy.  First you had to put on a fancy [hat] and [shoes] and then you had make a [beat drop] to go back in time to the [mall] so you could convince people to learn about the candidates and that [Trump is a idiot of a president].

But right there in the [mall] there was a giant [trump] and it started [scream] ing at everyone.  People started to [run].  You grabbed a [water gun] from a nearby [toy store] and yelled [fuk off trump].  Everyone stopped and listened, so you kept going.

We all make mistakes in our life, but what we do in the present will effect what happens in the future. I've made mistakes that have affect my life, my sophomore I didn't give a crap about anything all I wanted to do was go home and lay down and from that I got bad grades and I wont be able to get into a really good college unless I work extra harder the rest of high school. A other example is in "Sound of thunder" When Eckels went to the past and stepped on a butterfly and came back to the present and changed everything. A other example is in "self-relicense" when Emerson was explaining that a simple understanding of who someone really was and would change there future from that explanation. All are thinking and our actions create our individual sense of self and the society we all share is caused by our actions because of what we do makes us who we are and makes a road for what we will be doing.

Inciting incident

"He turned back on a side street, circling around toward his home. He was within a block of his destination when the lone car turned a corner quite suddenly and flashed a fierce white cone of light upon him. He stood entranced, not unlike a night moth, stunned by the illumination, and then drawn toward it.
A metallic voice called to him:
'Stand still. Stay where you are! Don't move!'
He halted.
'Put up your hands!'
'But-' he said.
'Your hands up! Or we'll shoot!'"-The PedestrianBy Ray Bradbury
This the rising action of the story because some unknown car drove by where he was heading and made it seem like he was about to have a bad time. Also were he tries to recreate the scene of when he go arrested into a  more devious way.

President mistake

Well well....well Trump made a fool of himself in the debate Hilary didn't even try that hard to destroy him with his flaws. Especially during the first round which she pulled a 92% overall compared to Trump with his 8% percent. The fact that Trump used to much Ad Hominen to part from the main question.

An earth shattering fart

My honest review on this story was what the hell? So something so small may have a huge impact on your future. They did foreshadow that not to touch anything out of the ordinary and Eckels, changed the very future he wasn't intending to. HE was killed by Travis at the end of the story because of such a small mistake. But I believe the main message is not to mess with the past cause it will affect your future.

Young goodman brown questions

What do you think Hawthorne's purpose was for writing this story?
S:To talk about how the devil symbolizes everyday life? Or how we have to face reality in different perspective on how we face our daily lives with good and bad dreams.


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? 
S:The story revolves around her being a innocent person during the beginning but as you keep reading on talks about a lot of devil's and purification which means Faith Purity disappeared and he lost faith in faith. Weird

What do you think the pink ribbons signify?
S:It symbolizes faith and the faith of Goodman brown most likely because I got this context that lead me to this idea ,

Was everything Brown witnessed real, a figment of his imagination, something conjured by evil, or a dream?  Support your answer with passages from the text.
S:I believe most of this was a dream cause is awaken or the text say's "Whether  Faith obeyed, he knew not. Hardly had he spoken, when he found himself amid calm night and solitude, listening to a roar of the wind, which died heavily away through the forest. He staggered against the rock, and felt it chill and damp, while a hanging twig, that had been all on fire, besprinkled his cheek with the coldest dew." but this isn't fully supported because he staggered on a rock and then fell asleep but he was in a dark forest which are many shadow shape figures maybe he had some kinda religion phobia?

Who do you think the old man really is?  What textual clues tell you this?
S: quoted in Young Goodman Brown "The devil "  The traveler put forth his staff, and touched her withered neck with what seemed the serpent's tail.
"The devil!" screamed the pious old lady."

What does the staff represent?  Do you think the staff leads Brown onward or is the primary motivator Brown's own conscience/mind?
S:"Accordingly, the young man turned aside, but took care to watch his companion, who advanced softly along the road, until he had come within a staff's length of the old dame. She, meanwhile, was making the best of her way, with singular speed for so aged a woman, and mumbling some indistinct words, a prayer, doubtless, as she went. The traveler put forth his staff, and touched her withered neck with what seemed the serpent's tail." It represents a serpent in a metaphor as  a staff. Brown's motivation would eventually lead him to being evil or accepting evil.

If Brown had not ventured into the forest, how would his life be different?  If he'd stayed home, would Brown still have Faith?  Would he still trust his wife and his fellow townspeople 
S:Yes he would've trusted everybody because he believed dearly in his wife and her faith and he believed the puritan's were fully religious.
