Early Final Review

• Ourselves, conflicts are never boring, conflicts happen everyday, conflicts are set up for people to fail and to create tension between one another.
• In "Young Goodman Brown'' his perceptions of people for who they are, are completely destroyed by what he knows now.
• Patience yet persistence, everyday people will do the good the bad and the so/so.
• Sometimes by asking the questions that aren't always asked, by doing that you open up to a whole new "dimension" of opportunities
• Emphasis on how we as a people are very complicated, we talk about our various "examples" of ourselves
• Diction, what is it, the words an author chooses
  -How does one create the tone in a story (an author's attitude towards the audience and or the subject)
  -Hawthorne's diction influences the tone (non-cultural words "thither", remembrance of things past)
  -Hawthorne's syntax (his dialogue is short) Why? When you are walking their is a lot of dialogue going on)
• Dialogue focuses on one thing at a time (understand what characters are going through)
• Allusion is a reference to something that an author expects the reader should know
  -Genre is the classification of literature
  -Mood is the reader's emotion
  -Intransigent means to be stubborn and unwilling to change your views
  -Carping is to complain  
• In "Young Goodman Brown" we see the sunset as a symbol, why is it a symbol, it's a border between time we can't see the unseen
  -Foreshadowing can allude to something that may happen later on in the story
• The characters are what can develop a story and make it much more personal
  -Dynamic characters change all throughout the story
  -Static characters stay the same
• Maybe not everything is always as clear cut and in front of your face as you want it to be
• In a way "Young Goodman Brown" is taking a finger and pointing it at religion and saying that not everything is as it seems
  -Irony is when an author contradicts what we all believe is the opposite
  -Epigraph is something written before the beginning of the story
  -Self determination is going against your idea of what you should do
