asleep in the forest, and only dreamed a wild dream of a witch-meeting?", and also when

Brown's old friend showed up she acted like he wasnt even there and how she just showed up out of nowhere.

5. I think the old man is like old family member like a grandfather or something.

I do think the staff makes him keep going cause at one point they ask him if he's tired so 

he can use the staff to help him keep going.

7.If Brown would have stayed home he wouldn't have changed in anyway his way of thinking  would have stayed the same. He would still trust everybody and everything.

Young Goodman Brown

All I can say about the story "Young Goodman Brown" is that it was confusing
to me so was it all really dream cause that would be sad all the reading for it to be dream. I only read it once so maybe I have to read it more but I'm confused.

The Conscience of a Hacker

What I think about "The Conscience of a Hacker" was that he or she is literally writing
what we are all thinking  but don't have the guts to say. The we are all alike the we are being taught
a bunch of crap we probably won't even use when we graduate high school or college. So to finish this post all I'm trying to say is that i really like it and would really recommend it to people so they can read it to.
