I read a book that refers states that one of the character of sin is PERVASIVENESS OF SIN.

"<span>Sin is not in some places, sin is in all places; sin is not in some people, sin is in all people; sin is not a part of some actions, sin is a part of all actions; sin is not a problem some of the time, sin is a problem all of the time. Sin is pervasive."
</span>
In the story, The Young Goodman Brown, people whom the character thought of as good and pious were shown as not so good nor pious. The character saw these upstanding citizens in a gathering that reveres the devil. Goodman Brown even saw his wife in the conversion ceremony. After that event, even though Goodman Brown is not sure he only dreamt it or it really happened in real life, he never trusted anyone again to simply be good. All he saw is the evil lurking in each person's soul.

Hawthorne develops the theme of the pervasiveness of sin in his story “Young Goodman Brown” via revealing that people whom the character Goodman Brown was led to believe that they were good and righteous people were shown as not so good nor righteous.

Even though it was all just a dream, Goodman Brown refused to deny any of the events that had happened, and as so, he never saw the world in a positive light again. This could also be seen as a way that Hawthorne chose to develop the theme of the pervasiveness of sin in his story since the definition of pervasiveness is “the quality of spreading widely or being present throughout an area or a group of people,” and the dream was pervasive in all of Goodman Brown’s thoughts after the night of his dream.

Akela keeps calm in stressful situations and is not easily upset or disturbed.

Explanation:

Akela is a gray lone wolf and the leader of the Pack. He is wise and fair, making decisions and keeping the Pack working and strong from the top of Council Rock.

He's kind and honorable, unlike most of the other wolves. The younger wolves want Akela gone, because they feel Akela is old and they feel they don't need a leader.

These Questions are from the story, "The Night the Bed Fell" 1. What details about Briggs Beall are probably exaggerated? 2. Wha
Alinara [238K]

1. The detail about Briggs Beall that seems to exaggerate in the story is that he presumes that he stops breathing in the middle of the night, all of a sudden.

James’s mother starts shouting due to a presumption, he thinks it is because of his nonbreathing in the night, and goes to the heights of soaking himself all over with camphor spirit, just so that he may revive himself.

2. The author mentions his three aunts in the story, each having their peculiar habits or beliefs.

  • Clarissa Beall somehow held the belief that she would eventually die on South High Street, as most of her life happenings had taken place on this particular street.
  • Sarah Shoaf, was fearful that a burglar would somehow spray her room with chloroform and steal her valuables. To avoid being affected by the chemical, she’d stack up all her valuables outside her room with a note to the supposed burglar that this is all she possesses, hence take it and leave.
  • Gracie Shoaf, too had a similar phobia of burglar attacking her house, in response to which she would through her footwear in the middle of the night. This she was doing for the last forty years.

3. The author says he is about to share an “incredible” tale that happened to him one night.

4. Aunt Gracie Shoaf, having a phobia of burglar’s entering her house, sets all the footwear that she owns and throws it randomly across the house in the middle of the night so as to scare or shoo them away.
