Thanksgiving day

My Thanksgiving was a ton of fun.  I was in my hometown and I go to see my family along with my dogs. For dinner we went to my grandma's house.  My dad ade all of the turkey and gravey, all of the food was delicious.  We had a total of 35 people at her house.  I was able to see all of my cousions that I have not seen for 6 months. It was a ton of fun t see all of my relatives at one time.  We ate dinner and then we played shurads.  Shurads was a ton of fun and it was all Chirstmas themed.  I had a great Thanksgiving and I am thankful for being able to spend it with my family.

Question #3

In the story Young Goodman Brown there are alot of thing that are significant.  Each of the chracters represents soemthing more then just a person.  Faith for example is Goodman's wife and she represents not only a wife but Goodman's faith.  Her name is the significant part in the story.  Her robbion which is pink represnts the purity and innocence that she represnts.  The traveler represents the devil him self and the forest represents sin.  Goodman Brown leaves his faith to go and become tempted by the devil.  Throughout the story Faith's name is not always capatilized.  This is imortnat because they you know when the story is talking about Faith or goodman's faith.  The staff in the story represents tempation itself.  It can also be linked to the bible and the story of Adam and Eve.  This story is filled with a ton of symbolizim and has many themes.  Almost everything has another meaning that has to be loked at closely.

This is a sotry about Goodman Brown and how he is tempted to go and meet with the devil.  There are tons of symbols in this story and many themes.  One of the symbols is the pink ribbion that Faith wears.  this ribbion represents purity and innocenece.  Her name is also significant becasue it reprsents the faith that Goodman Brown has.  In the story Goodman Brown leaves his love and Faith to go and be with the devil. This story alos has the significant staff that the devil carries.  It represents temptaiton and is a symbol that conects the story to the bible.  The sorest also represents sin and all the bad things in life.

A rose for Emily

this is a stroy about a woman that lives all alone wit dead people in her house.  It is really creepy and dark.  There are a lot of things that go on during this storyt that could be inturperted and looked more closely at.  One of the chracters the buttler is very mysterious and no one really knows why he puts up with Emily and her odd behaviors.  I think that he feels badfor her and that he has just always been there and does not see the need to all of a sudden just leave her.  He might also be in love with her or just even be lonely himself and enjoys the company.  There is also this golden watch that is mentioned a few times in the story.  It is invisible and you can hear the ticking.  I am not sure what this is suppose to symbolize but it is metioned at least twice thorughout the story.

Tuesdays class

This class period was very helpful to me.  I was able to better understand what kind of topics this paper would require.  I was also able to narrow down my topic search to three different possible things.  I really liked how we all sat in a circle to shar our ideas about the different prompts that we were given,  That was a very helpful excercise becasue it allowed me to get many different possible topic ideas.  Without this class period I dont think tht I would have a topic picked out.
