Answer and Explanation:

Hawthorne uses irony to develop the theme that Puritan society was hypocritical.

This is because in the text he presents Goodman Brown, as the protagonist, who lived in a Puritan society presented as holy and full of whole, religious and pure people, turned to the church and the will of God. However, it was necessary for Goodman Brown to meet the devil himself, who showed him how that society was more friendly to him than to God, because when nobody saw him, they behaved in a completely vile and sinful way.

Any activity that you think that is unusual / out of the norm for kids your age to do during free time?

(For reference, I'm 17 and am responding as such)

Cleaning, studying, sporting activites.

While there are people who do these things, they prove to be on the whole uncommon activities. If these things are being done it is likely they don't consider the time they do these things with 'free time'.

We prefer to relax, be unbothered, and see what's going on on Y0uTube or social media, or just watch TV.
