Conclusion

1. That it was a real change for  people to write this way, because it was all about people digging their ditches and keeping their heads down. To show that you were good and all about God.
2. A few words that makes you notice that is Romanticism: We, I.
3. A lot of poets used the words thou, thy. Like an old language. I only hear these words at church in prayers, which kind makes you think that these people still used church language. Even though it was kinda wrong to write about your views. Which made me confused on what they were talkking aobut.

Laughing Heart questions

1. The poem is called "The Laughing Heart" by Charles Bukowski
2. This poem is ironic because the poem is about living life to the fullest but its a commercial about the clothing brand levis
3. The poem doesn't really reflect the authors reputation but maybe his life as an adult. "There is light somewhere. It may not be much light but it beats the darkness", reading this line was kind of like him stating "My past wasn't an easy one but i chose to go forth with my life". His reputation became a good one because he decided to go forth in life so in a way it does reflect his reputation in a deeper way.

Honestly, I think more than half our class is not ready to take this type of course yet. Evven though we only have two years left, and should be getting ready for this kind of teaching, we are not mature enoguh. I decided on this choice becuase I want to get ready for college, but not everybody is ready for this kind of jump.

!AHA!

Symbols and signs have lead us into fear. I went on my own research and found Dr.Falconer had given a pretty good reason. - Everyone knows sex sells. Greed sells too, and again, this is something we all know. But little did we know that the really big, best seller of all is FEAR and it’s companion, dread. Here are some current ‘epidemic’, ‘impending’ ‘catastrophe-in-the-making’, brilliantly-marketed FEARS: Fear of recession, depression, terrorists, war, disease, food, air, climate change, computer crashes, natural disasters, breast size, impotency, break-ins, drug czars and addicts, immigrants and aging. Here I focus on an area closest to my own experience as a physician-psychiatrist: the fear of illness and dying. As you read about overcoming and transcending this fear, think of it as an effective metaphor for the other fears listed above. When you come to the end reread the piece substituting each fear. Start with this fact: To fear our body is a powerful way to create disease. Why is this? Because fear is about being attacked and when you think you are going to be attacked you are both hard-wired and soft-wired for flight or fight. This, in simple terms, is bad for your physical health when carried on continuously or repetitively on an intermittent basis. Your body is not set up to be constantly on the alert for danger or shocked repeatedly by the unexpected. It is not necessary to go into the physiology of why this might lead to high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke and even cancer. Here is the rub: If fear can be created it leads to disease thereby proving that the fear was warranted. This is every politician, salesman and businessman’s dream: to create a need for snake oil. In the external world we no longer buy a car or a house just for comfort and to raise a family, former symbols of success and stability that they were. We now buy an alarm system surrounding a car or house to protect us from an attack that is inevitably coming. s similarly in our internal world, in the case of fear of illness, we are taught to wait to be attacked from within by scary pathogens of all types, prions, viruses, bacteria, fungi, worms or ravaging cancerous cells. We are then inundated with words and images encouraging us to attack back with drugs and vaccines. Television sets, both advertisement and news, are now literally more like warning systems for an impending attack, even if it is a sneak attack like impotence. Get them, (it), before they, (it), get us. This simply doesn’t work to ease fear; it creates fear. In the process a lot of drugs are sold in pharmacies and in the streets, for when you are talked into fear and then become an attacker you solidify the idea that attack must be coming and complete a circle of dread. If I need one drug, then I must need another. If I attack anything I inevitably will be more afraid as I wait for retaliation. The facts are that, as I point out in the book, your body is a perfect part of the perfect whole always healing itself. It is an error to think your body is defective or that you have a basic fault, or that you are split and separate from a perfect whole. The words you use to overcome fears are central to your sense of peace of mind and joyful living. Focus the words you choose on wholeness and unity and thereby stop ‘buying into’ fears such as the fear of illness and the enticement to attack and demonize your body. As you see you are part of larger wholeness your immune system is strengthened so your body can naturally do what it does best, serve as an amazing communication device. Put your attention on remembering yourself. Make it your intention to do the following simple exercise daily. With your eyes closed take a deep breath in and repeat these three phrases ten times, morning and night as you breath out: 1) I Won’t indulge in fear and I Won’t identify with my body 2) I Will love the world and I Will forgive myself and others, and 3) I Am whole and healed. I AM LOVE. As you work these Three Words, Won’t, Will and Am, you will begin to experience recovery from their healing power. Dr. Clark Falconer is a Guest Blogger for PickTheBrain. He is a practicing Psychiatrist from Vancouver, Canada and the author of the new, critically acclaimed book The Three Word Truth About Love And Being Well. To receive daily tips on the power of words follow Clark on Twitter Source:http://www.pickthebrain.com/blog/words-that-overcome-fear-and-dread/ Me again: So we tend to fear because we are humans and we humans can mentaly paint a faint image in our own minds. By this image we create, it becomes into a fear and becomes reality. By symbols and signs that we have been surrounding us, scare ourselve, because mentality think we have to do it to prove things. This is how we are wired. If we honestly tried to be unique we become symbols, ourselves. Than, thos symbols become copied.

symbolism of Young goodman brown

1. Goodman Brown’s name plays as a symbol in the story. His name Goodman means Gentleman during that time period, and he is symbolic to mankind. 2.The name Faith is symbolic of Brown’s lost hope 3.When the pink ribbon falls from the sky, he cries "My Faith is gone", Brown talks about how much faith he has. 4.The traveler is symbolic of the devil and Goodman Brown’s dark side.

This is what i can pick out of it

young man goodbrown questions

What do you think Hawthorne's purpose was for writing this story? -Have no idea, it was little creepy for me Hawthorne states that Brown's wife is "aptly named" Faith. After reading the story, do you agree? Does Faith's name fit her personality? Does Brown have true faith in her? -Brown had always had faith in his wife, because she wasn't the a witch. What do you think the pink ribbons signify? Was everything Brown witnessed real, a figment of his imagination, something conjured by evil, or a dream? Support your answer with passages from the text. -When Brown was going through the forest he could know were faith was, because of pink ribbons put on the branches, Who do you think the old man really is? What textual clues tell you this? - What does the staff represent? Do you think the staff leads Brown onward or is the primary motivator Brown's own conscience/mind? - evil If Brown had not ventured into the forest, how would his life be different? If he'd stayed home, would Brown still have Faith? Would he still trust his wife and his fellow townspeople - He went dellusional.
