Finish reading The Devil and Tom Walker by Irving

Answer the following questions for Monday (their will be a brief quiz as well).

1. Analyze this quote, "Tom was as rigid in religious as in money matters; he was a stern supervisor and censurer of his neighbors, and seemed to think every sin entered up to their account became a credit on his own side of the page."  Do you agree with Tom's thoughts?  (at least 4 sentences).

2.  Analyze this quote, "Tom lost his patience and his piety-- "The Devil take me," said he, "if I have made a farthing!"  What has momentarily happened to Tom's "religious zeal"? What is the consequence?  (at least 4 sentences).
