I believe in the story “Young Goodman Brown” Brown was hallucinating everything throughout the whole story. “They were my good friends, both; and many a pleasant walk have we had along this path...”. This shows the old man knew to much about Browns relatives, but never actually met Brown. Most strangers you have never met won’t actually come up to you and randomly talk about your relatives in any way. “Welcome!” repeated the fiend-worshippers, in one cry of despair and triumph. And there they stood, the only pair, as it seemed, who were yet hesitating on the verge of wickedness, in this dark wood.” This is showing that Brown was watching the evil ceremony, but wasn’t actually attending it. If there was really an “evil ceremony” I don’t think most people would be able to find it and let them hear what they talk about.”Often, awaking suddenly at midnight, he shrank from the bosom of Faith, and at morning or eventide, when the family knelt down at prayer, he scowled, and muttered to himself, and gazed sternly at his wife, and turned away.” When Brown woke up he was already home, in the story it doesn’t explain how he got home. He also couldn’t trust his wife Faith for what she did however, she seemed very nice and I don’t think she was evil.
The only things I read when I’m at home are the post I see on social media since I’m more on my phone that any other thing. I also read when I’m asked to, however other than that I don’t read for fun. Although, I know it’s improtant to read I feel like I have to do other things than to sit down in complete silence and pick up a book to read it.
