1. What is the purpose of this class ?
The purpose of this class is to get the education that is required by the state. Not only is that required yet you are receiving the free education that not everyone in the world can receive.
2. Describe something interesting that you have learned, read and or written in class ?
Something interesting that I have learned in class is how valuable time is. We only have 50 minutes of class and I'm still learning new abilities on how I can finish my work at a much faster pace and use my time carefully.
3. What is the easiest/hardest interesting work you have done so far?
The easiest job that I am doing in this course would have to be just doing the work on my bog. However the hardest may be catching up with the blogs due to the fact that other students have 15 posts or more.
4. What are your goals for the next grading periods? For the semester? For the school year ?
My goals on maintaining my grades is to stay at a 3.8 or maybe to reach a 4.0. The way I am planning to reach this certain goal is to work hard and just stay concentrated.
5. What is a Socratic Seminar? What is a blog? What is 2.0 and how are you using it?
A Socratic Seminar is known to be a discussion between people and this type of discussion involves opened questions. While this discussion is talked about, the students or people just listen on the comments that are made. The blog or our blog is a way that we share our thoughts like these, in my opinion I think this is a great use to share our experiences and just thinks in general that Dr. Preston asks us. A 2.0 is either known as a type of advancement or grade level, if we're speaking about the advancement then I think am using this source at its potential.

English course
1 What work have you produced in this class so far ?
The work that I have produced in Dr. Preston's class is just catching all of my work up to date. As well as staying concentrated and just trying to strive for an A in his class. Things that I have also produced in my class is how to use time wisely. As you can see we only have a limited amount of time in each class, each minute should be used wisely yet others don't and don't intend on finishing their work. However I am trying to do the opposite of that.
2 If I could give myself a grade, I would give myself a B due to the fact that I'm still catching up on some work. Maybe In a week I can maybe say I deserve an A , but for right now I'm just trying to catch up on my blog.
3 For me to succeed I will have to stay focused on my work. Avoiding distractions will play a part for me on achieving what I want. While Dr. Preston was gone the energy in the class consisted of a lot of goofing around and people not doing their work, yet I managed to stay concentrated and get the job done.

Young Goodman Brown Questions
1. Hawthorne's purpose of writing this story was for the fact the story gave a great example of a plot twist. Not only did he gives us a plot twist, but the story information wasn't giving directly to you, after a while as you get into the story you start noticing the interesting parts of the story. I just really like the fact the story wasnt obvious and it required some thinking to see this. However I think the purpose of this story was to experience a different type of reading & comprehension.
2. Faith's name "Faith" does not eventually fit in her character, well in the story we noticed that at first Faith was a lovable women just seeking great things for her future. As we start getting further in the story, we notice that she is also involved with this witch craft and isn't the person we thought she was. This becomes an issuer because Brown saw her as a loving wife but once Brown wakes up he losses all the faith in her and see's her as a different person.
3. In my opinion I feel like the pink ribbons are a symbol for Faiths innocence and the things that keeps her and Brown together. I also feel like the color pink is so much different and rare due to the fact that this story takes time in the 17th century which most of the colors that were worn were black, white , brown & gray. This pink ribbon is also a sign of her standing out and grabbing the attention of others.
4. I feel like the things the Brown witnessed was just all a dream the was just full of evil. I just feel like this could have been a nightmare because everyone was coming back to life , like his mother and father were with him in this evil forest. Let's just be honest that this doesn't not happen in the real world where your parents come back to life. However the story doesn't tell us but I just feel like this has to be a dream because he returns to Salem the next day and everything is back to normal.
5. The old man is the "devil" well I happen to say this because he practically appears when Brown is walking through the forest. When brown runs into him without a notice, I started to notice that a lot of things were going on such as the forest being on fire and many of his loved ones being demonic and evil. The old man obviously is the reason to all of this because everything went bad when Brown ran into him. The old man also talks about how he knew his grand father and father and just simply knows the story of Brown which is another example of witch craft.
6. The staff is also another symbol in the story. The staff is described as a snake. The old man always offers his staff to Brown and he tells him that the staff will make him get to his destination at a faster time. Brown does get convinced but the staff just leads him further into the forest and the further he gets that where things start to get very evil in the story.
7. I feel like if Brown had never ventured to the forest everything would still be at its place. He would still have faith for all his towns people, but I then disagree because he was trying to get to his destination. So maybe if he had stayed this would only prevent this from happening sooner than later but either he would have still experienced this witch craft. So wether he did or not go into the forest he still would have had this experience.

The story about "the Earth on Turtles Back " was a pretty interesting story. I really like the fact that all these animals were helpful. I especially enjoyed the part of the story when the musk rat saw his fellow animal friends fail yet he was determined to bring the earth up and get the job done. It just shows how determine yourself into something can cause great things. The language is written a bit different due to how more explained the story seems to be. The language we use, it's not to interesting it just gets to the point, however in the book the story describes a lot of the things that are talked about. If a story comes into more languages or more ways to be told then the story is certainly embellished because it wants to show or describe something that was done back in the older days, such as the way the believed things. Some American or "Native American " myths that were told , were from the Apache and how they always saw something and they always wanted to praise it as somethings from their Gods , or just the earth being generous and how things were given to them. Such as their crops and families being able to do certain things like hunt.
