In this passage from “The Devil and Tom Walker,” what cultural attitude is expressed by the people living at that time and place

? From “The Devil and Tom Walker” It was late in the dusk of evening when Tom Walker reached the old fort, and he paused there awhile to rest himself. Anyone but he would have felt unwilling to linger in this lonely, melancholy place, for the common people had a bad opinion of it, from the stories handed down from the time of the Indian wars; when it was asserted that the savages held incantations here, and made sacrifices to the evil spirit.”

Answer:

They believed Indians to be primitive people with superstitious beliefs and practices.

Explanation:

In this passage, it is clear that the speaker is a superstitious person. We know this because he talks about evil incantations, sacrifices and evil spirits. Moreover, we can assume that the speaker thinks that Indians are a primitive people. This is clear from the fact that the speaker calls them "savages." We also see that the character, Tom Walker, has a bad opinion of this place on account of these beliefs. This cultural attitude was common among the people living at this time and place.

how does the use of multimedia affect the portrayal of a literary work such as novel, play, or poem?​
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

The use of multimedia affects the portray of a literary work by depicting differently.

Explanation:

The multimedia, including movies and theatres, have taken literary works to showcase the audiences. Media, especially film, have changed the relationship between reader and book as well as the literary reception of the text. The access to literature through media is becoming more common, that led to the pushing out of books. A film can reach all classes easily. Several books are used today for media adaptations with loosely fitting to novels as they become half-autonomous texts. Consequently, the film is necessarily shorter, thus its focus on the central parts of the story. Also, the number of characters can sometimes reduced because films concluded in not more than one and a half hours with a limited budget.
