The Conscience of the Hacker

Today durning class I read a essay call "The Conscience of the Hacker". When I saw it for the first time I was wondering why does it look weird? Once as I started to read the story it made some sense to me why it look weird. I believe it goes with the story because it is about hackers and I am guessing that's how it would look if you are hacking the computer. I thought it was pretty cool that the author made it that way. As for the story it was quite interesting. He talked about a hacker getting arrested and he was call a criminal. To me the character seem angry for the people who thinks that who is a hacker is a criminal. Also I notice that he kept on saying that everyone is the same. That is basically what I understand and notice from the essay.

Young Goodman Brown 

I sort of read some of the story. My first impression of it was how in the world am I going to read the whole story. So, I read a little bit of it because I wouldn't have enough time. While I was reading I couldn't really understand what the two characters because they were talking in old English I am guessing old English. Anyways I just mainly understood is that Goodman brown had to leave his wife named Faith. He went on a journey that I didn't know where he is going exactly. That is what all I got from reading some of the story. I am sorry that I didn't read all of it.

What's your Big Question? 

I have many and many questions that hasn't been answered because everyday I always have a new one even if it's a dumb question. Sometimes I would have questions for the smallest things like "How did people clean their teeth before toothbrush was invented?" But, my biggest question I have is why are people so curious? 

Ancient Stories 

In the story that we had to read for the class as what our teacher Dr. Preston pointed out that the author wrote small sentences. Once when he said that I did notice that. Then near at the of class he asked us two questions for homework first how is the language in the story is different or similar the way we speck at school and how important is it to repeat a story word for word? It got me thinking the way I talk to my friends or the way they talk to me, because I sometimes talk in short sentences but thats the only thing I could of think that was the same. On the other hand when I write or type I intend to have one long sentence and that is something that is different to me from the story. As for the second I believe it is important to repeat a story word for word because you won't leave any detail left behind. For that reason I believe when people make their own versions they will change a little and it will continue to change through out each people and it may not be the same as the original. Well that is my answers for those two question.
