Read the following excerpt from Katherine Anne Porter's "The Jilting of Granny Weatherall": It had been a hard pull, but not too

much for her. When she thought of all the food she had cooked, and all the clothes she had cut and sewed, and all the gardens she had made — well, the children showed it. There they were, made out of her, and they couldn't get away from that. Sometimes she wanted to see John again and point to them and say, Well, I didn't do so badly, did I? Which two themes does this passage most clearly develop? A. Life presents obstacles to be overcome; parents are children's first role models. B. Past experiences shape who we are; the insecure often seek to be validated. C. Adversity builds character; tough times make for tough people. D. Sometimes we doubt our own strength; it's fruitless to live in the past.

The correct answer is B.

One of the themes presented in this excerpt is that the past plays a very important role on the people who we later become. Here, the children's goodness reflects all the work and love her mother put into them: cooking for them, sewing and cutting their clothes.

The sencond theme developed is that insecure people tend to look for validation from others, rather than feel proud for themselves. Here, the mother feels proud about her children, and sometimes wants to brag about them, to show to everyone what a good job she had done raising them.

Hawthorne states that Brown's wife is "aptly named," Faith (ie., her name fits her personality). After reading the story, do you
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

Yes, Nathaniel Hawthorne was right in naming Brown's wife "Faith".

Faith is a representation of the faith and belief of not only Brown himself but also that of the believers/ Christians who are tempted everyday by the devil. In her attempts to persuade Brown to not go into the forest, telling him about the dream, she is the 'spiritual' image of God who is trying to stop his people from being cheated/ tempted or brought to sin.

Brown initially has full faith in his wife but at the end of the story, we see him a changed man. He no longer sees her as the woman she was in the start but he began to question her each and every actions.

Explanation:

Nathaniel Hawthorne's "Young Goodman Brown" tells the complex tale of the character Young Goodman Brown and his conflicting belief in his own faith and later on, that of his villagers including his own wife. He had left his village and his wife to be tempted by the devil, returning back a shaken man altogether.

Hawthorne had aptly named "Faith", the wife of Goodman Brown for she represents the faith and innocence of the true Puritan believer. She is the epitome of what a believer of God should be but she appears in a different light in her husband's face after his return from the forest. From her reluctance to let Brown go into the forest to be tempted by the devil, she represents a Christian's life to stay away from any devilish temptation. She is the 'spiritual' representation of God trying to prevent His people from being tempted.

At first, Brown seems to have full faith in her naivety and innocence. He even expresses regret in leaving her all alone to be tempted in the forest. But after the devil had tempted him and had taken him through the evil ceremony of inducting the 'new converts' to the devil, he began to question her character and could not seem to see her in the same position he had put her before the temptation. There is no proof that what happened in the forest was real, but what the devil intended to d has had its effect. Brown now no longer trusts her, nor the village priest and others. he began to question each an everyone's faith, ever doubting them.

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

A laugh stops pointless argument.

Explanation:

The story of Satish is all about a community who is not wise and quarrels with each other on little disagreements. Satish saw two people fighting over their preferences of Idli or Dosa. Every person has his own food choices according to his taste but here people seems to disagree with the facts and starts arguing on pointless topics. There comes another man who thinks he is wise but makes a statement Dosa with chocolate, and here the argument continues. The only thing that helped stop the pointless arguments among the people of community was Satish's unintended laugh. The title that best suits the story is "A laugh stops pointless argument".
