Young Goodman Brown

The Young Good Brown is a story that I red when I join a reading club. This is short story that tells about a young’s struggle in the heart and written by Nathaniel Hawthorne in1835. It is also the one of the greatest in American literature.

The story takes place in Salem, Massachusetts, New England during the Puritanical witch paranoia of the seventeenth century. Young Good Brown goes to meet an evil wizard to join a secret assembly in evening. During his journey, he discovers the human nature different appearance. For example, in Nathaniel Hawthorne’s story, a very pious and exemplary dame, who had taught Goodman Brown his catechism in youth, and was still his moral and spiritual adviser, jointly with the minister and Deacon Gookin, has the relations unexpectedly with the devil moreover is a witch. Another example is his dear wife, Faith, who is a woman, who is aptly her named and always dresses a pink ribbon on her hair. At the beginning of the story, Faith requested her husband do not leave home, but at the last, Young Goodman Brown sees her dear wife appear on the secret assembly, a devil assembly. Dose it represent that Faith is not faith not only to him but to the God? Is it just a night mare or a real bad nigh? No matter which is true, the rest of his life will live in suspecting and suspicion. Especially to is wife Faith.

This is a story that is full of allegory, for instance, the Faith’s pink ribbon. The color, pink, is mixed with white and red. In the West Country, the color is representing faith and young and the red is representing evil and angelical. Another allegory is about his name Young Goodman Brown, Goodman and Brown. I do not tell details there.

After reading this short story, I cannot know clearly what it is describing about actually. Because there are old-used characters such as thee, thee, thy and so on, they are difficult for me to handle the article. Another reason is that I do not really understand the setting of the story. There is about historical dispute between Christianity and heathen and as if tremendously effect the author.

Even though I so not really understand, but I still realize something. It is cannot be too stubborn to a person. Moreover, we must learn and accept people’s different appearance. Although they participated in not a good assembly, but that does not represent they are an unprincipled person. In the reality life, they are the good people at least, and do good deeds. What is a painful matter that lives in suspicion in the rest of live? But if I were he, would I go out this shadow? It is very difficult to say. I am a person who is so easily to be affected.

crazy

Who is invents reports this kind of thing. I hate it!!!!! Exam, report and homeworks all mixed in this week. Prayed that I do not need to stay up late tonight. Who was said that the four years in university can play everywhere and anytime!!! I already did not know that I was saying anything….

Okonomiyaki



0

We went to eat Okonomiyaki lat week in the underground delicacy street of Shin Kong Mitsukoshi which is near the Chungshan MRT Station. The” we” is including my three roommates and me. When we saw the Japanese’s drama, seeing the actors and actresses went to eat Okonomiyaki, Monjayaki, and Teppanyaki frequently in the drama For You in Full Blossom especially. The name of the restaurant is TEN House and there is its Website http://www.tenya.com.tw/index.html. Okonomiyaki is a kind of foot that frying with a lot vegetable, flour, eggs and so on and into a circle. After it was cooked, cast some seaweed, some firewood and mayonnaise. Then, the tasty Okonomiyaki was complete! It tastes so delicious that I do not have the ideas to describe it.


After eating Okonomiyaki, we went to Normal University night market. That is the first time that I go to Normal University night market. It just likes the Shi-Lin Night Market but smaller than this. There were all people everywhere in Normal University night market and difficulty to walk any step. The lampblack taste is also everywhere. I think I compare like Shi-Lin Night Market perhaps that I was more familiar it. In brief, this is an happy one evening.

C++



I am major in Computer Science and Information Engineering in Chang Gung University. At the medium of the semester, we start to write program! I have already anticipated for a long time. The first program we wrote is printing a sentence” Hello World! “on the screen. The program codes are below:



#include
using namespace std;

int main()
{
cout << "Hello World" <<>
return 0;
}

It is a simplest and most basic program. Our goal of semester as if is to write three hundred lines of program. It seems that we still have a long way to go. There are just five lines above!

After several weeks, we can write program similar following two programs.



#include
using namespace std;

int main()
{
int count;
cout << "Let us make the addition."
<< "Give me a number." <<>
cin >> count;
count += 2;
cout << "The resualt that the number add two is " <<>
return 0;
}





#include
using namespace std;

int main()
{
int X, Y;
cout << "Please Give me two numbers."<<>
cout << "The first number is " ;
cin >> X;
cout << "The second number is ";
cin >> Y;
if ( X > Y )
cout <<"The first number is larger than the second number." <<>
else if ( X == Y )
cout <<"The first number is equal to the second number." <<>
else
cout << "The first nember is smaller than the second nember."<<>
return 0;
}





The first above is a program that adding 2 to a number and the second program is comparing the size of number. It is difficult to image that we will write thousands or tens of thousands lines of programs. But if we can develop software randomly to do what we want to do, what is a joyful matter!

COLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The weather is so cold these days. It is said that cold current will come today. I am scared of winter because it is uncomfortable when the cold wind flows over my body. I hate winter even though it is prepared for the coming of the spring. During the winter, I always think that why I cannot hibernate like a snake over these four months. Especially, the winter in the Chang Gung University is so cold that I do not want to get out of bed to attend classes. Everyday when I prepare for classes, I always dress myself like a rice dumpling even if that day is not so cold to others.

I start to think to the blue sky and the blue sea of summer. Perhaps I will move to the country which has no winter for ever. But what contradictory is that I would like to see snow with my own eyes. It is no doubt that when there snows, the temperature must fall to 0 degree below. I cannot endure such the low temperature. I hope that it dose not means I will never see snow with my own eyes forever. The things I want to see are not only snow but also the nearby scenery. For example, the Hokkaido’s scenery (which is located in Japan), Western Europe, Switzerland and Northern Europe’s Iceland and Finland etc are all the places I want to go. Or may I make wish that there will snows in Chang Gung University? If I really go to the place told above, perhaps I must carry the warming machine on my body everywhere!

The most important of all is that I also have two months to stay in Chang Gung University which is located in mountains. Will the temperature under the 10 degree? It is too terrible. I hope not! Otherwise I will really become a snake!

Last three weeks


Last three weeks are the Exam weeks! Most subjects took medium exam such as calculus, computer science, English writing and so on. The range of each subject is wide though some are simple but some are very difficult. For example, the calculus was just like its Chinese name “crisis”. I always thought mathematics is my best subject except proof. Unfortunately, there are several question proves in the calculus exam. My defeat could be imaged moreover the grade of calculus is really not well. Now I start to be afraid of the grade of the Basic English if it will be miserable as calculus. This does not represent that I did not take the exam serious but my memory is so poor! The words or phrases I recited well yesterday must completely forget today. I am seeking ways that can improve my memory. The thing I must to do is absorbed now.

After these three weeks, I discovered that I did not review completely enough and was too late to prepare. But I will remember the lesson and do my best in next exams. The first thing I need to do is to adjust my daily schedule. Living in a regular life will have enough spirit to deal other things and the method is keeping regular hours. Go to sleep before 12:30 and wake up before 7:00. I also plan a program that is going to play basketball with my friend on the morning everyday. It seems to be a healthy life! Hope that I will complete them well.
