Young Goodman Brown

This was my favorite story out of the three we read.It had many key components that lead up to the reveal of everything. It was intresting that his wife name was Faith, because some of the character took it as the faith we have for god instead of it being a name. It was weird that the devil took on his appearance . I feel he tricked into continuing down the path. It was really a good story and very well written.

The Black Veil

The Black Veil was a very intresting story. I though it was different that the minister punished himself by wearing a black veil(why did he choose that) for the rest of his life. He could have just repented and moved on with his life instead of letting the veil remind him of what he did everyday of his life. Everyone makes mistakes in life but you cant keep allowing them to control your life. You make mistakes and learn from them. They help you become a better person and give you the experience in life that make you wiser and able to teach others. As the minister in the story he should have been a good example, yes he did make a mistake that he thought was bad but he forgave himself and because of that god forgave him to.

Black Cat

Was a very different short story from the usual.I really dont like weird and inhumane stoties, but this one really intrested me.I wanted for a long time to become a psychologist so i tired to understand his point of view and judge.Most people would assume black cats are bad for luck, so the fact that he was intriged with this cat shows his difference from society.I believe he had an alternatitive life inside his mind. So this story creeped me out but some people would really enjoy his sinister out look on life.
