MY THESIS STATEMENT

What I would like for the main point of my essay to be is to speak about each of the character's personality traits and tie them to real life situations with people that we know. Also, another good way to write the essay would be to compare some parts of the story to our lives or see if there's any similarities with the situations in the story with our lives. I believe that it's much easier to reflect on a story like "Young Goodman Brown" without a prompt because it's much easier to write something without boundaries, limitations or formats. In other words, often times it's less stressful to write what we think without a format instead of trying to write something that will fit certain types of requirements.

READ TALK UNDERSTAND

Today I learned that password security is very important. This is because if you have a very weak password then you have more chances of being robbed or hacked by someone. Statistics prove that every 2 seconds someone gets their identity stolen because they don't have enough security on their data. It's recommended to use a website called Last Pass that helps protect your important information. Most of the times people just write it down on a notebook and put it away but it isn't that secure anyways because it can get stolen or lost.

YOUNG GOODMAN BROWN QUESTIONS

1.) I think that Hawthorne's purpose for writing this story was to show that he will do anything to keep his wife alive and thereafter go to heaven. 2.)  Yes, I agree because he believes that anything he does is possible for his wife to be good, loving and have good health. Also, I do think that this name suits her well because it fits what he thinks about her although they lost some connection between each other. 3.) I think that the pink ribbons signify innocence and courage. 4.) I believe that it was a dream because it doesn't make sense that something like that would happen in real life. For example, "Faith with the pink ribbons, gazing anxiously forth, and bursting into such joy at sight of him that she skipped along the street and almost kissed her husband before the whole village." That's where it makes sense that it would be a dream because it shows that she's okay. 5.) I think that the old man really is just his conscience talking to him and tryin

THE EARTH ON TURTLE'S BACK

My first impression on  "The Earth on Turtle's Back", is that I liked the story. It's pretty interesting to hear that everyone in the tribe had to know the story. It's cool to hear that in this myth the ducks got out of the water and threw seeds on the soil which then commenced the life on Earth.

I CARE ABOUT YOUR UNDERSTANDING

The Hacker Manifesto was a essay written in January 8, 1986 by a man that was a computer security hacker at that time. This essay was written after the author's first arrest when he was caught hacking.  The essay speaks on how the public or society point him and the rest of the others out about being criminals, but in reality the people in power or even in the government are the biggest criminals there are. What is said and talked about in the essay to me is the truth because it states a lot of what goes on and what happens around us that isn't really brought up or spoken about. The writer of the essay spoke for everyone that has the same ideology as him and that face the same judgement that he faced of being put as the bad person for basically exploring what the people in higher power don't want us knowing.

VOCABULARY WORDS OF THE DAY

THE MEDIUM IS THE MESSAGE

Today I learned that it's very important to protect your personal data on social media and on the internet because it's a very easy target for a hacker to want to steal your information. It's important and necessary to change your password every 30 days to ensure that nobody gets into your accounts. There is a credible source that can help you secure your email which was Proton Mail. The 2 factor authentication method is a useful privacy protection system to use because it helps you protect your account better and gives you a code that you need to enter every time to log into our account to secure that it's you and not someone else. Media is the plural word of medium.
