"Young Goodman Brown", by Nathanial Hawthorne HELP writting essay

Hey, i am not doing good in my English 102 class, my professor says i address my writing prompt in the wrong direction. So i was hoping if someone can help break down my writing prompt, and give me a direction to write my essay.

Writing Prompt:

The fictional story, "Young Goodman Brown", by Nathanial Hawthorne, as well as the essays "Time Lines" by Lewis Lapham, "Why We are Infidels" by E.L. Doctorow, and "Imagine There's No Heaven" by Salman Rushdie all address issues of belief, both religious and secular. Are the questions raised by Young Goodman Brown relevant today? Would the writers of the essays agree that they are relevant today? Tell why or why not, keeping in mind that the different essayists may have different views.

A strategy for pursuing this assignment: Consider the issues of belief raised in various readings we have had in class, including the essays "Time Lines" by Lewis Lapham, "Why We are Infidels" by E.L. Doctorow, and "Imagine There's No Heaven" by Salman Rushdie. What arguments did they make? How did they "prove" them? Can you think of counter-arguments to their thesis? What are they? Again, address these in your journals.

I don't know what are the questions raised in Young GoodMan Brown please help

The two articles i choose from the list besides GoodMan Brown is "Why We are Infidels" by E.L. Doctorow, and "Imagine There's No Heaven" by Salman Rushdie

If you can tell me what i should write about and how i should write it. It will be greatly appreciated.

Why do you think you are only supposed to choose 2 of them?

For every essay, answer these questions:
What arguments did they make?

How did they "prove" them?

Can you think of counter-arguments to their thesis?

What are they?

If you write a complete paragraph for each question, you will have 4 paragraphs. Include an example or quotation in each paragraph.

If you do that for each essay, you'll have several pages of body paragraphs. Write them, and then go back and add an intro and conclusion. :-)
