Based on this excerpt from "How Much Land Does a Man Need?" by Leo Tolstoy, how is the author using the character of the Devil?

"Of course our work is rough and coarse. But, on the other hand, it is sure; and we need not bow to any one. But you, in your towns, are surrounded by temptations; to-day all may be right, but to-morrow the Evil One may tempt your husband with cards, wine, or women, and all will go to ruin. Don't such things happen often enough?" Pahom, the master of the house, was lying on the top of the oven, and he listened to the women's chatter. "It is perfectly true," thought he. "Busy as we are from childhood tilling mother earth, we peasants have no time to let any nonsense settle in our heads. Our only trouble is that we haven't land enough. If I had plenty of land, I shouldn't fear the Devil himself!" The women finished their tea, chatted a while about dress, and then cleared away the tea-things and lay down to sleep. But the Devil had been sitting behind the oven, and had heard all that was said. He was pleased that the peasant's wife had led her husband into boasting, and that he had said that if he had plenty of land he would not fear the Devil himself. "All right," thought the Devil. "We will have a tussle. I'll give you land enough; and by means of that land I will get you into my power." as a foil as an antagonist as a dynamic character as the protagonist

This author makes their opinion clear, and supports that claim (that Roosevelt was the greatest president) by giving examples of things that he did. In order to improve their argument though, they should add actual statistics about what Roosevelt did. Using statistics would prove their point that these things actually worked and improved the economy.</span>

Your chum has been a perpetual truants in class.write a letter to his or her guardian's reporting his or her behaviour and likel
VLD [36.1K]

To write a letter to someone's guardians:

  • First, <u>address the guardians</u>. If we do not know the name of them, write Dear sir or madam. If we do, we write dear Mr (surname) and Mrs (surname).
  • In the first paragraph, greet them and introduce the <u>reason</u> for our letter. In this case,  it is to inform about the behavior of our friend.
  • In the body of the letter, <u>explain</u> in detail the letter's topic. In other words, explain how the person is not assisting to classes and the likely repercussions that this can have. For example, we can inform them about the possibility of failing in tests or the subject or having to attend summer school. Also, we can talk about how this can impact in the future, as regards universities.
  • In the last paragraph, there should be a sentence explaining your concern. Besides,<u> </u><u>ask</u><u> </u>the guardians for help.
  • Say <u>goodbye</u> in a <u>formal</u> way, such as "yours faithfully or kindest regards." Lastly, sing the letter.

Before writing the letter, brainstorm some ideas, like immediate and long-term consequences for truants in class.

After you have ideas, plan every section of the letter. You can have some draft sentences and a list of connectors that you would use.

Lastly, join the different parts and complete them with some more information or accurate words.
