Class Stories

"The Devil and Tom Walker" by Washington Irving, was a very intriguing story that made me think of the ulterior motive of life. Money. They all say that money is the root of all evil. However, I disagree, because even though money may be what causes people to change, they do have a choice whether to let money change you or change you for the better.
"Dr. Hiedegger's Experiment" by Nathaniel Hawthorne, also shows human nature. The nature of people willing to do whatever to be young again. These two stories are similar where both teach lessons and show people about the human desires and how they manage to motivate people to do the unimaginable.
