Read the passage from “the devil and tom walker.” what does this passage tell you about the personal viewpoint of the author and the cultural norms of this period? from “the devil and tom walker” tom looked in the direction that the stranger pointed, and beheld one of the great trees, fair and flourishing without, but rotten at the core, and saw that it had been nearly hewn through, so that the first high wind was likely to blow it down. on the bark of the tree was scored the name of deacon peabody, an eminent man, who had waxed wealthy by driving shrewd bargains with the indians. the author frowns on the hypocrisy of religious people who take advantage of others. there was a flourishing business during this period as successful people traded with the indians. people of that region respected the forests and were opposed to the careless cutting of trees.

Read the excerpt from chapter 30 of the awakening. the golden shimmer of edna's satin gown spread in rich folds on either side of her. there was a soft fall of lace encircling her shoulders. it was the color of her skin, without the glow, the myriad living tints that one may sometimes discover in vibrant flesh. there was something in her attitude, in her whole appearance when she leaned her head against the high-backed chair and spread her arms, which suggested the regal woman, the one who rules, who looks on, who stands alone. what does this excerpt reveal about edna's character? edna is comfortable wearing rich fabrics such as lace and silk, and feels completely at ease at the dinner table. edna plays the role of the gracious hostess very well, but is actually isolated from her peers. edna has no patience for her guests, but rather treats them as a queen may treat her loyal subjects. edna's attitude is haughty, as required of a woman of her social stature living in new orleans.
