Hello,
David is thinking about his quest for manhood, which he connects with
owning a gun. Because he is “almost a man,” he believes that he should
own the symbol of manhood: a gun. Borrowing a mail-order catalog from a
local store owner so that he can look at the pictures of revolvers,
David becomes obsessed with thoughts of guns, becoming a man, and, most
important, the strategy that he must use to persuade his mother that he
should be able to buy a gun. A real man doesn't need a gun.

In "The Devil and Tom Walker," Washington Irving criticizes the selfish and heartless sections of American society, especially usurers, by satirizing them through Tom Walker’s character. He also criticizes the hypocrisy of American religious groups through his satirical description of Tom’s churchgoing and through his mention of the Salem witch trials and the persecution of Quakers and Anabaptists. He also seems to suggest that American society was founded on violence and inequality:
"Since the red men have been exterminated by you white savages, I amuse myself by presiding at the persecutions of Quakers and Anabaptists; I am the great patron and prompter of slave dealers, and the grandmaster of the Salem witches."
From Plato

Answer:
Setting:
- It was a poky little shop, and the man was arranging furniture outside on the pavement very cunningly so that the more broken parts should show as little as possible.
- The wide High Street, even at the busy morning hour almost as quiet as a dream-street, lay bathed in sunshine.
- And, sure enough, over the top of the forest, where it ran down in a tongue among the meadows, and ended in a pair of goodly green elms, about a bowshot from the field where they were standing, a flight of birds was skimming to and fro, in evident disorder.
Character:
- Two persons were within; the first he readily knew to be Dame Hatch; the second, a tall and beautiful and grave young lady, in a long, embroidered dress—could that be Joanna Sedley?
- Jerry's name was Gerald and not Jeremiah, whatever you may think; and Jimmy's name was James, and Kathleen was never called by her name at all, but Cathy, or Catty, or Cat.
