I think that Tom's values become a microcosm for values of American society. Tom's choices in this story are reflections of his valuing material wealth and financial prosperity over the well-being of others. He is more concerned with the loss of his valuable property than he is with the murder of his wife by Old Scratch. He shows no sympathy for those who come to him seeking loans, and instead bleeds them dry. Tom's values lie in the wrong place, and in the end he is punished for it. Tom embraces a a world of greed: the same world that the author sees America embracing. Tom Walker is known throughout the Charles Bay for his greed, and it is this greed that leads him to sell his soul to the devil in exchange for money. Tom's plight is meant to warn readers not to let greed blind them, for, as is the case in "The Devil and Tom Walker," it can have disastrous consequences.
Well I really like agruementative and imaginative some call it free style but out of those two it'll have to be imaginative because it just lets your mind wonder as you come up with all the charictors and the situations that they get into and how they wiggle themselves out. I'm not so good at writeing easys about books or aticles, I dont know why exactly but it's just always been a struggle for me ever since my first book report. I would read the book or aticle take notes and all but when it came down to actully writing about it all I could come up with was a breif summury.I actully used to want to be a writer and would write short storys or an amiture kids book but that chagned really quickly and I never went back to it.
