    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.…

    In “An Hour or Two Sacred to Sorrow” by Richard Steele, Steele tells his story, advocating the mourning of a loved one’s death, deeming it acceptable because of the positive memories, between the late and the late’s beloved, recalled; the acceptance of other’s help will aid them past the pain. Steele was five years of age when his father passed away. Oblivious to the situation, he felt sorrow from watching his mother grieve. Steele explains that infants’ individuality is replaced with influences from their surroundings, which explains the feeling of sorrow he felt at such a young age in spite of the fact that he had no grasp of the situation. Although humans know death approaches, they still lament over deaths; “thus we groan under life, and…

    One of the main elements of Romanticism that it used throughout the story, “The Devil and Tom Walker,” that was wrote by Washington Irving is the archetypal plot, which is someone who sells his or her own soul to the devil for money, wisdom, power, and fame. The character that really shows this element is Tom Walker because he will do anything to be rich. This element that Tom shows in the story is going against our Christian beliefs and he is turning himself further away from God. Christians believe that the love of money leads to all sorts of sin and evil. Once someone becomes obsessed with money, that is all that they are worried about and they push God away from themselves and they do not make time for Him. Since Tom loves having money,…
