    A few miles from Boston, in Massachusetts, there is a deep inlet winding several miles into the interior of the country from Charles Bay, and terminating in a thickly wooded swamp, or morass. On one side of this inlet is a beautiful dark grove; on the opposite side the land rises abruptly from the water's edge, into a high ridge on which grow a few scattered oaks of great age and immense size. Under one of these gigantic trees, according to old stories, there was a great amount of treasure buried by Kidd the pirate. The inlet allowed a facility to bring the money in a boat secretly and at night to the very foot of the hill. The elevation of the place permitted a good look out to be kept that no one was at hand, while the remarkable trees formed good landmarks by which the place might easily be found again.…

    When a character sells their soul to Satan in a narrative, it is often for receiving something that is usually unachievable, for example, riches, reviving of loved ones, or some other objective of value. But in the end, the soul is usually sent to eternal torment, leaving a lot of troubled people in the wake of destruction behind the damned soul. In Washington Irving’s “The Devil and Tom Walker”, Tom Walker sells his soul to “Old Scratch” (the Devil) as a means of receiving Pirate Kidd’s lost treasure that will fulfill his greedy lust of money. He is so consumed with greed that not only does he refuse to share basic sustenance with his wife earlier in the story, and he also volunteers to more than the devil asks of him.…

    The Devil and Tom Walker is a story that has been passed down from generation to generation. This story is about a man by the name of Tom Walker, who believes that wealth and worldly possessions are everything. He is married to a woman that beats him, and she could care less about him or his existence. Tom and his wife are cheap, greedy, manipulative people. They will cheat each other out of anything that will benefit themselves. One day, Tom decides to take a shortcut through the woods to get home. He meets a man that offers him a deal that he simply cannot pass up, but before he decides to take the man upon this deal he takes some time to think it through. When he has finally made up his mind that this is what he wants to do, he takes a trip back to the man and agrees to his offer. The offer requires him to do certain things for this man, but nothing that he is not willing to do. So, as Tom continues life without his wife, he lies to people and cheats them out of their money all because of the deal he made with this mysterious man in the woods. As days pass on, Tom begins to worry about what will happen to him in his after life. With this curiosity, he begins to act as if he is a frequent churchgoer. But, in the end, his effort to “get right” with God does not work, and he is taken captive by the Devil.…

    Spanish Reflection

    Charli Palumbo Spanish 1-2 12 December 2012, Term 1 Whaley, Blk. 2 My First Spanish Experience When I think of Spanish, I think of my Spanish class, and when I think of my Spanish class, I remember “ o-as-a-amos-an…” along with other songs that my teacher would make us memorize. These words became redundant after my first Spanish class. The words had no meaning at the time and only gave me a sense of what Spanish is like. Honestly, I didn’t like Spanish at all, and never thought I would. Taking Spanish in high school was probably the last thing I hoped to do. Ironically, I seem to have done pretty well in Spanish the past term despite my first impressions of the language. I didn’t really know anyone as friends, but I did come close to being really good friends with some people in the class. They didn’t like Spanish either, so I guess that was one thing we shared. Whenever we were given an assignment, like a packet to complete, we’d work together. It was a fun term of learning Spanish with competition and challenges. I must say that my learning was also the result of having Senora Whaley as my teacher. I’ve never had a teacher as bright or as motivating as Senora Whaley, and she really was fun but also pushed students to do what would make them successful. Sometimes things seemed impossible, like memorizing and reciting a presentation in Spanish, or memorizing vocabulary in Spanish. Unlike other classes, Senora Whaley made class more engaging. Getting to have snack teams every Wednesday and getting to share a meal with your classmates was a great way to get closer to everyone. It was really a huge benefit. Spanish was one of the few “B”s I would see on…
