Ribbon of Faith
We plan to create a group for people that just need someone to help them out, and we will possibly do this anonymously, because most don’t want to tell their problems, because of how people will look at them for what flaws they speak of to try and get help. We also want to make posters that could make someone smile when they walk by it in the halls if they are thinking lowly of themselves. We aren’t professional therapist, but we have heard and seen so many things happen when someone doesn’t get help or answers for their problems. About being anonymous as we do this is when we ask questions they will either share out if they wish or write it down on a piece of paper, and we will not have them put names, and put it in the bucket in private so it stays with them. We will try our best with answering or giving the opinion of the subject on the note, and answer it for the person and everyone around us so they can understand, and they all can give ways of helping as we all talk about the note, and that is how it would go on. Now, you probably want to know about why it would be anonymous asking: It is just that we like to have our question answered without being judged by others. This is possible with the way we have things set up. We will have a bucket in a separate room/closet/space so they can put their notes in it. I have gone onto a site called: http://www.beatbullying.org/ to find out if this is good, and more than half agreed that it would be very

Goodman Brown” is a prime example of allegory .In that nothing is ever as it seems. Young Goodman Brown seems to be wrestling with his demons through the story only to find it was just a dream. Young Mr. Brown though pious by nature doubted his “faith’. He like so many others at that age past, present and future question their beliefs. Mr. Hawthorne (Hathorne) uses his experience with the Puritan times and metaphors to illustrate the theme of hypocrisy, loss of innocence or the battle of good and…

shown in the story was Faith, Goodman’s wife who had pink ribbons in her hair which is also a symbol in the story.

The pink ribbons in her hair represent…
Brown” is about a man that sets off on a journey to test his religious faith and to discover himself. Hawthorne uses many different types of symbolism in this story to describe Mr. Brown’s journey.

Another way he uses symbolism is the word Faith, which is his wife’s name, and describes his love for her, along with his actual religious faith. Young Goodman Brown’s name is symbolic in itself; both of his youth…
the town of Salem during this period in history. The symbolism throughout "Young Goodman Brown" is mainly spiritual in nature. The best indication of this is shown as Brown follows the devil on the evil path and is demonstrated by Brown losing his Faith. The devil’s walking-staff, for instance, is one of the major symbols in this story. When Goodman saw the staff he described it as “the likeness of a great black snake, so curiously wrought that it might almost be seen to twist and wriggle itself…
