Within Nathaniel Hawthorne’s short story: Young Goodman Brown, a discovery is made. The main character’s choice’s lead the pinnacle of his belief to change, and leaves him in a way hopeless. Was it all a dream? It seems that in modern culture there are many figures that would like us to see things from their point of view much like the Deacon Gookin. Yet within this short story almost every godly character turns antagonistic, even Young’s perception of himself. An Aspect of this story is the value of blind faith. Since every alternate motive lead him to nervousness or unhappiness in the end. Sherman Alexie’s What You Pawn I Will Redeem has vivid character within. His quest for his grandmother’s regalia and choices show his lack of position in the world. Yet his dedication ultimately leads him to win the regalia back with his people skills. The outcome of this is hilarious. Sherman Alexie has a way of showing the good in the world despite the weaknesses of people. In Plus Shipping by Bob Hicok he portrays the working world, with jaded apathy. Leading him to compare past societies to ours. As well it seems that William Wordsworth’s The world is too much with us illistrates a view of wasted time and space in the secular world.
Interesting. I would love to hear more about how you see the value of "blind faith" in Young Goodman Brown. Although I appreciated the thorough coverage of all the readings, you can just focus on one reading in the blogs. I thought you were on the right track in discussing Young Goodman Brown and then you switched gears. Just roll with your original thoughts on one reading
ReplyDeleteAfter I read "Plus shipping" I looked up the knick knack that he was talking about. The Golf-pelli is the one of the goofiest things I have ever seen. It is kind of sad the things that people are willing to spend money on.
