direct and indirect charcterization



                                              


I can infer that the Black Woodsman lives in a dirty, dark, scary swamp. I know this because in the story the narrator states it indirectly:

"the swamp was thickly grown with great gloomy pines and hemlocks,some of them ninety feet high; which made it dark at noonday. it was full of pits and quagmires, partly covered with weeds and mosses; where the green surface often betrayed the traveler  into a gulf of black smothering mud; there were also dark stagnant pools, the abodes of the tadpole, the bull-frog and the water-snake... "

I can infer that the Black Woodsman is actually the Devil because all the names he goes by all have black in them; I am inferring this because the narrator says indirectly:

 "A pair of great red eyes... Oh I go by various names. I am the Wild Huntsman in some countries; the Black Miner in others. In this neighborhood I am known by the name of the Black Woodsman"

I can also infer that he is kind of rude and scary because of what the narrator states indirectly:

"what are you doing in my grounds? said the black man, with a hoarse growling voice.... Deacon Peabody be d--d,as I flatter my self he will be, if he does not look more to his own sins and less to his neighbor's."

I can also infer he likes to deal with people in exchange of there soul the narrator says indirectly:

 "I amuse myself by presiding at the persecutions of Quakers and Anabaptist; i am the great patron and prompter of slave dealers, and the grand master of the Salem witches."

 The devil would make a lot of deals:(indirect)

"Being generally understood in all cases where the devil grants favors; but there were others about which, thought of less importance, he was inflexibly obstinate. He insisted that the money found through his means should be employed in his service. "

the three little pigs


                        
                                              The Three Little Pigs



The theme of this story is there's a time for work and time for play. I think the author was trying to teach us that there is always a time for everthing. He proved his point by showing us the compare and contrast that theres a time for everything. He showed us this by showing that the 1st little pig built his house of straw and was playing and singing. The 2nd little pig built his house of wood and was also playing and sing instead of working hard. Since the first two little pigs were singing and playiug around instead of working hard when the trouble came (the wolf) they were not safe and had to run to the 3rd pigs house to get help. The third pig took his time planed out his house and worked hard so when the wolf came he didnt have nothing to worry about because he was safe and his house was strong. This shows that work should always be planned out and should always be a priority and instead of playing you should always do what comes first.
