What satirical statement does Washington Irving make about Tom Walker and society in this excerpt from "The Devil and Tom Walker

"?
He insisted that the money found through his means should be employed in his service. He proposed, therefore, that Tom should employ it in the black traffic; that is to say, that he should fit out a slave ship. This, however, Tom resolutely refused: he was bad enough in all conscience, but the Devil himself could not tempt him to turn slave-trader.




A.Shunning slavery is expected even from morally corrupt men like Tom.
B.Although Tom shuns slavery, he still oppresses people with extortion.
C.Supporting slavery and participating in the slave trade is evil.
D.Tom realizes that the slave trade is worse than extorting money from others.
E.Indulging in extortion is more reprehensible than supporting slavery.

B.Although Tom shuns slavery, he still oppresses people with extortion.

He was bad enough in all conscience but the Devil himself could not tempt him to turn slave-trader. The importances of this double moral to the story is the satiric part of the bilateral human condition, it´s innate in humans to have greyscales within them, no one is fully good or totally evil.

Which TWO of the following are attributes of a self-defining memory?
Ghella [55]

Answer:

A). A memory that is emotionally intense.

C). A memory that contributes to our sense of self.

Explanation:

Self-defining memory, as the title suggests, is elucidated as the memories associated with notable personal events that plays a vital role in defining oneself and elicit intense emotions during retrieval. These memories are firmly associated with the other memories reflecting alike theme, relational, or emotional pattern. The above two aspects i.e. 'emotional intensity' and 'contribution to one's sense of self' are quite significant to self-defining memory as these are directly associated with how an individual defines himself/herself(provides an insight to his/her own identity) which is crucial to their goals in life. Thus, <u>options A and C</u> are the correct answers.
