1. What do you think Hawthorne's purpose was for writing this story?
I think it's to get people's attention.
2. Hawthorne states that Brown's wife is "aptly named" Faith. After reading the story, do you agree? Does Faith's name fit her personality? Does Brown have true faith in her?
Yes because it's odd that It doesn't really fit to her.
3. What do you think the pink ribbons signify?
The pink ribbons signify how werid and innocent she is.
4. Was everything Brown witnessed real, a figment of his imagination, something conjured by evil, or a dream? Support your answer with passages from the text.
I think that it's his imagination because his friend just came like out of no where.
5. Who do you think the old man really is? What textual clues tell you this?
Maybe his old friend...
6. What does the staff represent? Do you think the staff leads Brown onward or is the primary motivator Brown's own conscience/mind?
I think that the motivator has conscience in his mind.
7. If Brown had not ventured into the forest, how would his life be different? If he'd stayed home, would Brown still have Faith? Would he still trust his wife and his fellow townspeople
I think that his life would've been the same because he'd still be with faith..
