What you pawn i will redeem-
I think the main character, Jackson, was just a lazy drunk guy. I don't understand how he convinced all these people to help him out. Everytime he received other peopls hard earned money, he would just spend it on alcohol. Every time he got drunk, he would end up worse than he was before with friends leaving him and him getting beat up. I don't think he deserved to get the regalia back, but i do feel like the pawnshop owner understood why he wanted it so much and gave it to him for that reason and not his "hardwork".
Young Goodman Brown-
I sympathized with the main character in this story. You go into the world believing in and trusting all the right people like your family, significant others, people of your same faith. Then you come back and have learned all these new things. Things that one would probably never want to know. It changes the way you are and the way you interact with these people you used to trust so much, even if they aren't even true.
I agree Jackson Jackson did drink a lot but I think that his character is so much more than a drunk. It represents a person who feels jaded by society, people and culture impressed upon him.
