This question refers to the story "The Devil and Tom Walker" by Washington Irving. In these lines, we see that the devil is chopping trees with the names of early settlers carved on them. The implication is that the devil helped these people in some way. As we learn that the devil is behind the actions of these early settlers, the conclusion is that the settlers were likely to be evil and mean-spirited. Moreover, this shows that the author's attitude toward the activities of the early settlers is a negative one.

zhuklara [117]

Answer:

Anzia Yezierska was an American-Jewish writer. She wrote many novels and books. She was born in Poland but later migrated to the U.S.A.

Explanation:

                The author tries to ridicule or deride the Americanized people who believed that they are the original American people and wanted to leave behind the heritage as well as history of theirs. Thus the author uses the word "American" with a quotation mark.

               Anzia Yezierska speaks of her moving to America in search of a better living and to pursue her dreams. She remembers she lives with and works for a family in America who have also migrated from the same Polish village from where she comes from. This family behaves in a manner that they belong to America and forgot from where they came from. They pretended to be truly American or "American" as quoted by Anzia Yezierska.

                We see how the thoughts and the feelings of Anzia Yezierska about the 'land of freedom' quickly changed. She came here in search of happiness and to live a better life but she encountered loneliness, shame, inadequacy, misunderstanding, etc. The feelings of the author changes from the childish exhilaration towards the sad acceptance and the ultimate hatred.
