THE WEAKNESS OF PUBLIC MORALITY
In “Young Goodman Brown,” Hawthorne reveals what he sees as the corruptibility that results from Puritan society’s emphasis on public morality, which often weakens private religious faith. Although Goodman Brown has decided to come into the forest and meet with the devil, he still hides when he sees Goody Cloyse and hears the minister and Deacon Gookin. He seems more concerned with how his faith appears to other people than with the fact that he has decided to meet with the devil. Goodman Brown’s religious convictions are rooted in his belief that those around him are also religious. This kind of faith, which depends so much on other people’s views, is easily weakened. When Goodman Brown discovers that his father, grandfather, Goody Cloyse, the minister, Deacon Gookin, and Faith are all in league with the devil, Goodman Brown quickly decides that he might as well do the same. Hawthorne seems to suggest that the danger of basing a society on moral principles and religious faith lies in the fact that members of the society do not arrive at their own moral decisions. When they copy the beliefs of the people around them, their faith becomes weak and rootless.

Answer:
1. She learned about maturity in life from chess rules. She said we must be wise enough to make good decisions in life. In the end, you will be sorry you made a wrong decision that speed things up in the short term. When you are in the middle of something, do not brag about how much you have done. It could have negative consequences for you. People who are captured should be kept in neat rows, like well-cared-for prisoners. Never say "Check” with vanity, lest someone with an unseen sword slit your throat. Never hurl pieces into the sandbox after you have lost a game, because then you must find them again, by yourself, after apologizing to all around you". Keep your flaws and flaws in mind when you think about the things you have done.
2. Waverly's mother thinks that Waverly's success is all down to luck, not challenging work. You should always say what is polite, even if you do not really mean it. Mother: Waverly's mother is very humble in public. She tells people who admire Waverly's chess skills that it "is luck" for them to show "proper... humility" (p. 96). Though Waverly learned that she is smart and has the skills to succeed—ambition, coolness under pressure, and patience—she did not believe that she could succeed. She has also learned how to use her brain to solve problems. She is no longer afraid to be herself. Waverly learns how to play chess through challenging work and by reading and practicing on her own. At the same time, she builds up an invisible strength that allows her to win at chess. "Luck" is not what she would say.
"I learned about opening moves and why it's important to control the center early on; the shortest distance between two points is straight down the middle. I learned about the middle game and why tactics between two adversaries are like clashing ideas; the one who plays better has the clearest plans for both attacking and getting out of traps. I learned why it is essential in the endgame to have foresight, a mathematical understanding of all possible moves, and patience; all weaknesses and advantages become evident to a strong adversary and obscured to a tiring opponent." (p.94) Waverly reflects on how she gained life lessons from chess. Waverly had remarkable success in chess and later in her profession. Waverly achieved harsh success by applying chess lessons in life. She had a different life than her companion, June, whom she considered as a competitor.
3. Waverly started winning chess games because she realized the mistakes she made and the different strategies she used while playing with Lau Po. Waverly has developed more skills and strength since he assisted her, even after gathering information from books to beat other chess opponents. I know this since the text states, "I lost many games and many Life Savers.”
