PROMPT 4

      In the story Young Goodman Brown went through a lot  of obstacles that made him change from being postive to negative person , so he is a dynamic character. Young Goodman Brown started off  believing that his wife was pure and was happy. For an example he loved his wife in the beginning of the story, but then in the end of the story he didn't even want to look at her. "Poor Little Faith" thought he, for his heart smote him.

My English teachers would give us an essay to do on a book I would just do the work and never pay much attention the book due to our teachers not explaining the meaning of phrases. Now this year I was fortunate to have an English teacher named Dr.
