6. The Devil and Tom Walker BY Washington Irving
Look For and Note Examples of:
Dark Romanticism
Residual Puritan Values
Values and Choices
Omniscient Point-Of-View (Narrator is outside the action, All-Knowing, and makes commentary on the story and all characters)

7. Constructed Response Practice: Choose One
Summarize the story, providing evidence as to how the story is dark romantic, represents residual puritan values, and uses an omniscient point-of-view to enhance the reader’s experience.
Connect the story to the trading game; discuss the ideas of values and choices in both. Provide evidence to show how sometimes one might give up something important in order to obtain something of more value.
