As he grows older, however, Tom begins to regret this decision. To stave off the Devil’s claim over his life, Tom devotes himself to Christianity. Irving’s satire strikes once more when he takes note of Tom’s obnoxious prayers, remarking that his daunting behavior had shocked even the most disciplined of his clergy. To this end, Irving proclaims that an outsider can tell at which points in time between church sessions he had sinned the most should they listen closely
When he realized that he was not going to get out of prison as soon as he had hoped he decided that he did not want to fast anymore, so he had to come up with an excuse as to why he stopped.

“Her characters, who sometimes accept and other times reject salvation, often have a warped self-image, especially of their moral status and of the morality of their actions” (Hobby). This addresses how some of the important lines in the story describe to the reader about the extreme exaggeration and the psychological realism of the church, which O’Connor wanted to express within her story. The extreme use of exaggeration and how the use of the characters bring a sense of an uncanny feeling of good and evil within each character, portrays how deep the meaning is seen in this short story. “the story is filled with dark, grotesque humor created largely by the story 's many ironies” (Hobby).

There have been many times where I have tried to use persuasion to convince someone to change an attitude, one situation in particular that I can think of where I tried to change someone’s attitude, and I was unfortunately unsuccessful, is the attitude and beliefs my mother has towards LGBT+ people.

She believes that they are inherently bad and that they are going to hell. I have on many occasions tried to change her attitude.

During his sermon he implies that if his congregation does not repent to christ they are in “danger of great wrath and infinite misery”.

After a sin transpires, the concept of morality is thrown away. Chillingworth successfully sieges Reverend Dimmesdale and his sanity as revenge for Dimmesdale’s sin of adultery.

Today conspiracy theories exist for every existing thing. The same goes for poetry as poets are known to hold secrets through the locks called diction, rhetoric, and style. Such a poet includes Thomas Hardy and his poem, “A Broken Appointment” whose secrets go beyond its plot of absent love and love in general.
