In Nathaniel Hawthorne's "The Minister's Black Veil", Minister Hooper's sad or melancholic smile possesses many interpretations due to the nature of the story and the time it was written, so it doesn't hold a sole or exclusive signification. Among the different alternatives, there is:
1. The sadness of being misunderstood on the message that he was trying to get across the people of the town (The idea was that <em>everyone wears a veil - hiding behind a facade - to keep a secret or sin from society</em>). The difference is that he did it on the outside instead that on the inside.
2. How people opted to fear, avoid or question him as soon as he started to wear the veil.
3. While he tried several times to explain the motives behind his veil wearing, the attempts were unsuccessful and after a while, he just chose to smile instead of trying to make his parishes understand his actions.

Some similarities between the story depicted in the book "The Fun They Had" and the online schools of today are the ease of access and the lack of socialization.
In the book "The Fun They Had", the students are taught within their house by a mechanical teacher. This offers the students many benefits but also comes with many drawbacks. Similar to the way students learn in online schools today, the students are lacking in socialization and "<u>fun time</u>" with other students their age, and in return benefit from the ease of access and inclusion that is offered by online schooling.
I believe the story offers an accurate depiction of what schooling may be like in the year 2155, in fact, it may be even more advanced and inclusive than that of the story. Technology is advancing at exponential rates and we can only wonder what kind of resources will be available by then, but it is logical to think schooling will become ever more inclusive and beneficial.
