The Experiences Carl Dennis’ poem‚ “The God Who Loves You”‚ has a theme and tone much like Nathaniel Hawthorne’s‚ “Young Goodman Brown.” The two narratives tell a tale of a man making his own choices in life; however the choices are bleak and the consequences of each choice in the two stories result in a disheartening and questionable resolution. Tone and theme play a critical role in Carl Dennis’‚ “The God Who Loves You‚” and Nathaniel Hawthorne’s “Young Goodman Brown‚” each portrays parts of

I’ve never been homeless‚ but in my life my family has created personal bonds with a few homeless people. When I was really young and living in my first house‚ a man‚ whose name I can’t remember‚ lived with us for awhile.
