essay prompt 4

 In Young Goodman Brown, Goodman was a dynamic character due to the vivid, life-changing experience he had down the road. It's hard to tell whether this experience of Goodman's was a real event or simply just a dream but there may be some ways we can find out. "...surrounded by four blazing pines, their tops aflame, their stems untouched, like candles at an evening meeting.". this piece of description allows our minds to wonder, if Young Goodman Brown went back to these tree, he can find out whether this experience was a dream or not. If the pines are burnt at the top, then it wasn't a dream whereas if the pines were fine then it most likely was a dream. [not done]

Green is everywhere

Green. Its everywhere as far as the eye can see. Strings of green hanging from the green umbrellas that are hung up by a green stalk. Green paper we exchange for things we enjoy. That same green paper that rule our lives. A color that can associate with nature. A color that describes a soury taste. Green apples, green sour skittles, limes, green grapes, the occasional bad kiwi, lemon chips. The list goes on because green is everywhere. Kids walking around with green backpacks, pants, shirts, hell, even green underwear! In the distance, a beautiful view of ridged mountains, doused in the sea of green leaves. Leaves that stand only inches tall. The very being that stole Christmas is cloaked in green, the Grinch! So you see, the world is green. Even the text of this essay is green. Green is everywhere and everything is green.
