Many people in the world today try to cover up their darker sides with a "mask" which hides their true self. Often times, however, people's masks are removed and we see them for who they really are. Many politicians today do this when they try to get people to vote for them. They wear a "mask" to veil their darker sides so the public can't see their flaws. The narrator in "The Black Cat" by Edgar Allen Poe and the character Tom Walker in "The Devil and Tom Walker" by Washington Irving wear "masks" to cover up their darker character traits.

“Timothy MacDonald,” Drusilla said to her fellow Ryanite Nightingale, “It’s a refreshing sight to be seeing you here.” “Thanks for the compliment,” he told her. “What do you have to report thus far?” she wondered. “Did your brother Henry wanted something to say to me, or are you here to speak with me?”
The Devil behind the Mirror by Steven Gregory is a book based on more than a year of ethnographic research in the tourist towns of Andrés and Boca Chica. In this book, Gregory shows "how distinct economic, cultural, and social processes that have been associated with 'globalization' and neoliberal economic reforms have restructured the lives and livelihoods of people in the Dominican Republic" (p. 4). While studying and observing the lives of working poor people in these areas, he states how globalization and the neoliberal tourism economy of the country have affected these people, preventing them from escaping poverty and live a better life. He supports his claim by explaining some topics like tourism and sex tourism, privatization, gender
In both short stories, “The Devil and Tom Walker”by, Washington Irving and “The Minister’s Black Veil”by, Nathaniel Hawthorne religion is used to expose the hypocrisy of Tom Walker who pretends to be Christian and the Puritan townspeople who judge the minister for exposing his secret sin while sinning themselves. Tom Walker decides to make a deal with the devil for financial gain. Once Tom Walker reaches old age he realizes he is going to hell and tries to figure out a way to cheat the devil. He begins going to church obnoxiously praying and judging the churchgoers for how they choose to practice their The “quiet Christians” would be praying modestly to themselves while Tom would be obnoxiously praying trying to one-up them.

A Faustian Bargain is when a person makes a deal for something valuable that they desire, like wealth or knowledge, in exchange for something important, like their soul. Most Faustian Bargains are deals done with the devil, or someone with a lot of power. Tom Walker is the main character in “The Devil and Tom Walker”. He was a miserly, greedy man, who had an equally greedy and abusive wife. When Walker told his wife about his encounter with the devil, she encouraged him to make the deal.
Boo's Perspective Today, I went to the halloween carnival and pageant. There I saw a familiar face, the people who repeatedly tried to come into my house to see what was in it!

This time I ran to the door to catch what was making that noise, and I hid next to the door. There was a light moving around my front door in circles, like someone had a flashlight, moving it around. I stood sideways at the door, determined to catch whatever was there. When I stood sideways at the door to catch what was in the bushes, I looked through the window on the door -and I saw a whole family.
stupid ass videos I wish I never watched they say that when your dealing with the devil be very careful what you say and do and if you make a deal be very specific on what you want and don't want cause some people have made deals for fortune an fame and was arrested and jail for long amount of times or got a hit song money and fame the ended up jailed like smurder but so make sure you careful with the deal you make cause this is the devil not a demon and if the the devil was fair he wouldn't be the devil and with that being said the devil ain't fair but I knew in my heart that I wasn't going to make a deal at all but curiosity killed the cat and I feel like it was the biggest mistake of my life cause I wanted to know what he was gonna offer
I was putting my Halloween costume on when I heard something moving in my closet. I turn to the closet door half dressed with a curious look on my face. In my mind, it being Halloween, I thought I was just hearing things or my little brother was playing a prank on me. I walk out the door to my room, down the stairs and as I was about to walk out the front door my father caught me, “Where are you going?” he asked “Out, it’s
