In this excerpt from Herman Melville’s short story \"The Lightning-Rod Man,\" which parts best support the view that the narrato

r equates the salesman with the devil?
A) The hairs of our heads are numbered, and the days of our lives

B) See, the scroll of the storm is rolled back; the house is unharmed; and in the blue heavens I read in the rainbow, that the Deity will not, of purpose, make war on man's earth

C) Impious wretch!" foamed the stranger, blackening in the face as the rainbow beamed

D) The scowl grew blacker on his face; the indigo-circles enlarged round his eyes as the storm-rings round the midnight moon. He sprang upon me; his tri-forked thing at my heart

E) I trod it; and dragging the dark lightning-king out of my door, flung his elbowed, copper scepter after him.

F) But spite of my treatment, and spite of my dissuasive talk of him to my neighbors, the Lightning-rod man still dwells in the land; still travels in storm-time, and drives a brave trade with the fears of man

The answers are C, D, E and F.

All these sentences present <em>parts that  are in some way a description of the</em> <em>devil </em>: Sentence C describes the <em>stranger's foul language and dark appearance</em>. D: the weird expression<em> getting darker and his three-forked</em> <em>thing </em>(typical image of the devil). E: <em>dark lightening-king</em>. F: <em>still travels in storm-time; drives a brave trade with the fears of man. </em>(people's fears allow the devil to act boldly.)

                                                 Hatchet

                                                 (Brian's Saga # 1)

                                                  by:  Gary Paulsen        

According to what I've read, many people find the book's concepts repulsive. Yes, the novel touches on the subject of infidelity. It does make reference to divorce. Yes, it makes reference to death. Regrettably, each fourth-grade classroom contains at least one child who is suffering from one or more of these issues. We all wish for our children to be free of depression and anxiety. Indeed, they do. S u i cide is the second leading cause of death among adolescents. Numerous children are the product of divorced parents. Children are also aware of cheating. You cannot blind them to specific regions of the earth. They will discover it if we attempt to conceal it. This is something we should debate. While some of the problems in this book are gloomy, it's an excellent opportunity to discuss them with your children. Refusing to discuss s u i cide with children would not prevent them from attempting it; rather, it will make them feel isolated and alone in their troubles. Pretending it isn't happening reduces children's willingness to speak up and express themselves. Refusing to discuss divorce does not prevent it. It will only serve to depress children of divorced parents. Even if your reason, "Well, I'm still married and have no intention of divorcing, therefore my child will be unaware or understand." Your youngster may have a friend, family member, or close cousin whose parents have divorced. Books are "too black" to be understandable. We require them more than ever because they assist children in comprehending these severe challenges. Hatchet is a literary classic. If you refuse to let your children read gloomy works, you are truly failing them. Personally, I regard it as instructional in the same way that the story "Of Mice and Men" is.

Hope this is helpful
