Young Goodman Brown is a very interesting story. It's a gentleman looking for his wife and meets new people on his journey and they are all nice to him. One strange thing is that he thinks that the devil is coming for him but it is just his imaganation. The story is a little confusing to.

The Conscience of the Hacker was an interesting story to read because it talks about teenagers that hacks computers but get arrested. There is also a boy who is a hacker who is smarter then most of the kids in class but he does not like school he thinks it's boring. The story talks about technology being more advanced because the boy talks about finding a computer that does what he wants. The boy feels like a computer because he is very smart and computers are smart so he see himself as one of them. He thinks that he belongs with the computers and not humans.He also thinks the world should be made of technology.

Ancient Stories

• The language in the text is different to the language we use in our everyday conversation because when someone writes something they can use punctuation, heading, capital letters, different types of layout and different letter texts. in our conversation we can't use any of those affects. In a conversation you can hear the persons tone and see the persons emotions and how loud their voice get when they speak. in a writing peace you can't feel the writer's emotions only if they tell you how they are feeling and you can't hear how loud their voice gets in the text. Another reason is that when you write you use proper English, but when you talk you talk slang and don't speak proper English.

• It is not important that the story should be repeat word for word because no one can repeat a writing word from word. Anyone can tell the same thing but in their own words it doesn't have be the same as the original text if they are trying to say the same thing. An example is the telephone game. When the first person tells a phrase to the second person and they keep on going until they get to the last person and by then the phrase is not the same no more because the others have changed the phrase completely.

the earth on the turtle's back response

The story talked about a man and his wife and she fell into a hole that they pulled the tree that had four white roots. The wife fell into a water land place then the animals were trying to find the earth for the women to stand on. Then the tiny muskrat found earth and placed her paw onto the turtle's back and that is how earth was formed. I thought that the story was confusing but also made a little sense. a person can't live in the water life because they need to live on land.
