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.

Summarize the text "The Cowardly Lion and the hungry tiger" List five to seven key events from the story in the order on which t
Zinaida [17]

"The Cowardly Lion and the Hungry Tiger" is a story by L. Frank Baum.

The story begins at the palace of the Emerald City, where princess Ozma lives, in the middle of the land of Oz. The lion and the tiger take care of the princess, however, no one ever attacks her or threatens her, as she is loved by everyone. This means that both the lion and the tiger are very bored with their lives and do not feel respected.

This leads them to talk and they decide that they will attack someone just to prove that they should be feared. The tiger decides he wants to eat a baby and the lion decides he wants to tear a person to pieces.

Both cats leave the palace and wander around the streets, until they hear a baby crying. As they turn the corner, they see a baby on its own. The tiger goes over to him, but does not eat him. Instead, he protects it. The mother sees this and runs towards the baby, but falls. The lion then helps the woman up.

Seeing how good they are, the woman thanks them. They go back to the palace and discuss what happened. Although they are both embarrassed by their inability to be scary, they conclude that it is better to be cowardly than to be evil, and to be hungry than to be cruel.
