Its not A. because patriotic themes don't always have to do with Americans. Its not B. because then it could be any culture. Its not C. because you're trying to say its fully american and it cant be anywhere. So the answer is D.

Answer:

D. He clearly establishes a Puritan New England setting

Explanation:

"The Devil and Tom Walker" is a short story by writer Washington Irving and tells of a fictional legend that resembles the former German legend of Faust. In it, the Devil lures Tom Walker with the promise of treasure buried somewhere in the marshes near Boston.

Through a skeptical narrator, Irving captivates several audiences: one who believes in myth and one who laughs at it. The rural setting of history allows him to address relevant issues such as capitalism and consumerism, which were becoming dominant in American society at the time. To adapt the German tale and make it purely American Irwing had the genius of clearly establishing a puritanical New England scene.

Is the island considered a perfect place in “the most dangerous game”?
OleMash [197]

Answer:

The island is described as "large" by Whitney, but that is a relative term, and readers are not given actual measurements for the island's real size. We know that Zaroff's house is located on the edge of the island and is surrounded by cliffs on three sides. The interior of the island is dense jungle.
