malfutka [58]
Utilitarian must mean useful and practical.
As you can see in the excerpt above, it says that writers such as Franklin, Paine, Jefferson, and their contemporaries, wrote fiction which served a particular purpose, as opposed to other writers who only wanted to entertain the masses. So, their purpose was not to entertain, therefore <em>fun oriented </em>is wrong here.

Describe the ending of the story. On what basis does the narrator say of Brown, "his dying hour was his gloom"? What was Hawthor
ad-work [718]

Answer and Explanation:

1. The ending of "Young Goodman Brown" depicts the despair and melancholy that occurs when a Christian loses his faith and all his certainties are erased from his heart. Thus, he can no longer find peace in the society he sees as corrupted, in family members, in religion and in any other element around him.

2. When the author uses the expression "his dying hour was his gloom" he uses the melancholy, cynicism and extreme mistrust that Goodman presented before his death as a basis, which indicated to society that he was not one of the elected of God and died with that feeling of sadness that accompanied him to death and that he should not be part of an elected Christian.

3. The author's purpose was to show the ambiguity of Puritanism and Transcendentalism in New England, questioning the position of Puritans in situations where they are very controversial, situations that include sin, shame, judgment and murders.

4. In their stories Hawthorne shows how religions are created to bring us closer to God, but members of religions establish doctrines and dogmas that are controversial and put people's faith to the test, especially in relation to religion. In "Young Goodman Brown" he questions the sanctity of Puritan Christians amid the murders of people who were considered witches. This questioning is related to doubts about human goodness and salvation.

What is the relationship between incarcerated people’s pursuit of education and the benefits to them and society?
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The relationship between incarcerated people's pursuit of education and the befenefits that education can bring to them and also to society itself, is that when a person who is in prison starts studying a career, that person can get a degree that will be useful for them when they go out of prison, giving them more possibilities of getting a job. It is also profitable for society itself, because in general, when a person gets out of prison having a degree, that person doesn't have the need of committing anymore crimes.  so they will not only be less harmful for society, but also they can be beneficial for it because through their profession they can help others.
