    As he had yanked on the back of my collar and hauled me away from his clique, I could hear them snickering about me. I whined like a wounded dog as he finally stopped clutching my collar, and when the pain had subsided to a dull throb, I tried to negotiate and pleaded to him that I would even do all the chores, except Suzanah’s, for a month. But, the knob head wouldn’t bargain with me. Angus just sat and hung his head in his hands, as I started listing all the reasons why he should get me some tickets. That was until I was filled with the dread and realisation, as it rose inside me like the crashing waves of a tsunami, that all the tickets were sold out. As I fell against the wall, my hair fell in my eyes, but I was too shock-stricken to flick it away.…

    The Devil and Tom Walker

    • 452 Words
    • 2 Pages

    The story "The Devil and Tom Walker" is a story about a man who lives an immoral life of greed. Walker lives in a solemn, wooded, quiet area of New England. Walker runs into the devil and sees that the devil is cutting down someone else's timber. The evil is shown, by the devil in how he is premeditating the murder of "Deacon Peabody". Walker contemplates this meeting with the devil, and recognizes that wealth is the first priority for him. Tom Walker's wife was filled with greed and wanted to acquire the gold that the devil had promised. Walker hadn't obliged to his wife, and due to his wife's acute greediness set out on her own journey to acquire that gold. She had been killed because of her greed, and lack of morals for self-prosperity, which resulted in her death. This is an important example of the use of evil within "The Devil and Tom Walker". Walker is told from the devil that he could earn money through usury and extortion. Walker commits to usury and makes a generous sum of money. Walker has no repentance for such a sin and continues to his usury. The evil accumulates in the story as Walker accumulates more and more money, resulting from more and more greed. The accumulation of this money leads to a climactic point where Walker is fed up with his accumulation of money, and asks to be taken by the devil. Consequently, the devil "takes" Walker to hell. The evil is fluently represented by Walker "selling himself to the devil", and his inability to understand that material possessions couldn't be taken to the next world.…

    I thought of Bess and the Highwayman, how they acted, how they looked at each other. Should I have done this? I shook my head. Of course I should have. I deserve this. Do I? As I made my way into the stables, Redcoats glided into the inn. I thought nothing of it. As I heard them drinking ale, full of joy, their shadows slowly drifted across the wall and disappeared into….. Bess’s room. A speck of doubt fluttered through my mind, but went away just as I heard the sound of a struggle, a musket loaded, and footsteps becoming louder. Out the Redcoats strutted, happy as they went in. Time passed as moonlight came. The figure of a man on a horse came into view, the Highwayman. Just as the Redcoats readied their guns, a shot echoed through the fields. It was not the Redcoats. My gut churned as I got a horrible feeling. Suddenly, it was like time reversed as the dark figure started to disappear. The next morning the landlord announced Bess’s…
