And it was I that brought your father a pitch-pine knot, kindled at my own hearth, to set fire to an Indian village, in King Philip?s War.

I would fain be friends with you, for their sake._________________________________________________Discussion Question #2 : What is the significance of the title; Young Goodman Brown?
