In “The Devil and Tom Walker” Irving is saying that the values in American society lie in the wrong place  chosing wealth and financial prosperity over the well-being of others.  

Irving sees America becoming greedy and warns the reader not to follow Tom Walkers ´s path that led him to exchange his soul to the devil blinded by his ambition for money. This statement reflects the  popular themes of individualism in the romantic era. The American romantics believed   that a man's choices decided his fate. Washington Irving shows how Tom chooses the wrong direction that led him astray from the true values of humanity.

In a paragraph of four to six sentences, identify three words or phrases with positive connotations and explain how these words
Kay [80]

Answer:

The Old Socialist was getting a bit nosy

He was a mature man, very social and begifted with a natural curiosity for everything alive.  

Explanation:

A connotation is a commonly understood word that in addition to the its literal meaning, carries an underlying emotional or cultural association. If we take for example the words <em>old </em>and<em> mature </em>we associate the latter in a positive way, because we imagine someone experienced in life instead of just being old. <em>Social </em>has a positive connotation too, but <em>socialist </em>doesn´t;  the former is more human and the latter is political. Another example is <em>nosy </em>and <em>curious: </em>The latter can mean eager to know and learn; the former is somebody who is too curious - specially concerning personal details.
