Young Goodman Brown

The mood in this writing, is very mysterious in my opinion. I think it's strange how Goodman Brown is a innocent man and really has no reason to go on this little journey, but ends up going. Part of this sort of confused me, but it was also strange that he was searching for evil or the devil, and as soon as he met the man with the walking stick, he was paranoid thinking everybody was the devil or had something bad about them.

The Conscience of a Hacker

I think this writing is very deep and detailed. The writer creates a very skeptic tone. For some reason, when I am reading this, I feel like the picture is in black and white and the setting is very creepy. I imagine a creepy, computer-hooked, person who is stuck in his room all day on his computer very angry at everything trying to hack a certain system.

ANCIENT STORIES

1. The animals in this story use deeper words and speak with more meaning than people today do. The conversations the animals are having are very different from conversations I would have with friends.

3. confused on the directions
