The Devil and Tom Walker; Snowbound

The Devil and Tom Walker; Snowbound

While reading The Devil and Tom Walker and Snowbound, I was amazed by the foreshadow in The Devil and Tom Walker and imagery in Snowbound.
The foreshadow in The Devil and Tom Walker is a little scary. It is first shown when Tom Walker finds the “gravestones” of many rich and famous people that he knew of. The death of all these dead people foreshadow that being greedy, which Tom Walker and his wife were, would only bring destruction in the end. This is later shown when Tom Walker’s wife tries to make a bargain with the Devil and the dies, leaving behind her heart and her liver in the apron that she brought with her. When Tom Walker makes a deal with the Devil, he gets greedy being an usurper and he sometimes sucked people dry of their money. He later got scared of the Devil and started preaching and carried a Bible wherever he went. In the end, the Devil came to him just when he didn’t have a Bible with him and whisked him away. Later, people came to his possessions and found them all mysteriously burnt or destroyed.
The imagery in Snowbound has a lot of comparison in the story, like a tunnel in the snow being compared to the “tiger” cave in Aladdin. There is a lot of imagery about the snow or ice, as it is wintertime. The starry flakes, a universe of sky and snow, and dazzling crystal are some of the words used to describe the snow. Even in the midst of this cold wintertime and snow, there is still warmth shown in the end. In the little house, with the fireplace lit with a brilliant blaze, the dog, cat, and the entire family eat or sit near the fire’s warmth.

sadness...then funnyness!

today's blog...after school today, something weird happened. A bird ran into one of our sliding doors. The bird broke its wing, and my dog tried to eat it (she likes to eat birds). My little brother went out and retrieved the broken bird. later, it died in his hand. Trying to bury the bird, my little brother took the bird to the front yard and buried it in the dirt. That was the sad part. Now, the funny part. My brother buried it in the ground, but he purposely buried the bird upside down with the tail feathers sticking out! Ha! Hilarious! If your an animal lover or u just find this disgusting im very sorry. But for everybody else, laugh away!
