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.

Is it any easier for Moon shadow to fit in during the events in chapter 2 than in chapter 1 why or why not
Ne4ueva [31]

I'm not sure that Moon Shadow found it as difficult to fit in, as he found it difficult to comprehend the things he was surrounded by. He was curious about his father, and yet, he was frightened by the things his father was excited to show him. Moon Shadow was uncomfortable and frightened by the electric light, the ear phones, the crystal set, the strangely constructed machines, all of which he believed to be some kind of magic.

"I didn't say anything, but father realized I was scared from the way I was shaking".
