1. In “Young Goodman Brown,” Hawthorne reveals what he sees as the corruptibility that results from Puritan society’s emphasis o

n 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. Write an essay in which you discuss the theme of inherent corruptibility* and the weakness of public morality*. Use adequate and sufficient details from the story.

Answer:

INHERENT CORRUPTIBILITY AND THE WEAKNESS OF PUBLIC MORALITY

As humans, we are to some large extents corruptible which bears credence to the saying, "every man has a price". This price can be anything from money, power, women, the desire to do good, etc and which can be exploited fully by someone that wants to "find out your price".

Public morality has to do with how other people view your morality and such morality is quite actually the choice to do right or wrong.

Therefore, public morality has its weakness by making man to attempt to hide his inherent corruptibility without actually attempting to limit his corrupt nature.

The whole point of public morality is to dissuade people from making wrong choices and decisions as they would be tried and found guilty by the public.

We can see from the story that although Goodman Brown came to the forest to meet with the devil, he still hides when he sees Goody Cloyse and hears Deacon Gookin. This shows the weakness of public morality as Goodman Brown only hides so as not to face public morality but it does not really make him change his decision to meet with the devil.

A(n)__ is a comparison over the course of a poem.
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
The correct answer is C. extended metaphor.

Metaphor on its own is a comparison (without using words such as like or as). However, when that comparison spreads throughout a text or a poem, it is referred to as extended metaphor. 

Attitude is your tone; connotation refers to your thoughts and opinions about a particular word; figurative meaning is the use of figures of speech, such as metaphor, hyperbole, etc.

fredd [130]

Ah yes, im glad to help you

Self-love is one of the most important types of love you can recieve. Before feeling compassion for others, feel compassion for your self. Love every part of yourself too, even your vulnerable parts. Theres something that I saw in a Ted-talk, she said "You cant get rid of specific feelings, if you get rid of sadness, you get rid of happiness too, which can make you miserable." This is important to remember, dont beat yourself up because you feel sad about something. Embrace it and move on.

Hope this helps!

Have a great day!

Separate

The sentence uses the word distinctive in the context "three distinct ways". Then the excerpt lists the three ways the 10K is special. Seeing that each of those ways are separate and different it is clear that "distinct" means "separate" in this context.
