My example

# data[].attributes.body
Q8 - Gary realizes that the Devil may come to anybody regardless of how faithful he or she is. He says that he had "done nothing to for which he might legitimately fear the Devil". When this does happen, the person will not have suspected it and would be forced to live with it for the rest of his or her life.

# data[].attributes.body
Q8 The devil targeted him because he had just sined and didn't obey his parents orders. He realizes that devil can come back and eat him again. This is scary because the devil can come at you at any moment. It is possible for you to escape evil because you can have Jesus in mind.

# data[].attributes.body
He realizes that there is nothing you can do to predict when and where the Devil will appear. He also realizes that if the Devil came for him now, there is nothing that he can do. This is scary, because it causes a feeling a dread and hopelessness. I believe it is possible to escape evil, but not always. And you can only escape evil temporarily. No matter what, you will experience evil again

# data[].attributes.body
Q8- Gary realized that the devil only comes at the most unexpected times and to the most random people, even to the good one. This is scary because when he is now older and more understanding of what is going on, he cannot run away as he is too old. I believe it is possible to escape evil instances in life because there are hints that Jesus is bringing to escape

# data[].attributes.body
Q8/ He realizes that the devil came out of nowhere for no appearent reason then and that he could come again. If the devil did come he would not be able to run or defend himself and it would be the end if the devil was still hungry. I believe it is possible to avoid evil

# data[].attributes.body
Q8 he realizes that the devil can always be there. And  this is scary because he would not be able to do anything about it at his age. I believe it is not possible to escape evil because there will always be a balance of good and evil. Thus evil will always be present.

# data[].attributes.body
I think you can escape evil because people escape from kidnappers and murderes all the time

# data[].attributes.body
Q8- The fact that Gary was brought up in such a religious society and he was still confronted by the devil showed him anything is possibly despite following rules and having integrity towards his religion. Having that experience of questioning something that provided you justification and safety towards most matters at such a young age was carried on into his later life. Which is the reason this story is so scary.

# data[].attributes.body
Q8: I think that he realized that the Devil can always find a way to get in your head. This is scary because if the devil came now he does not have the strength to defend himself or run away.

# data[].attributes.body
Q8- That you can't escape the devil, it's also eye-opening that you can not escape him. No, you cant escape evil, because our world is evil, and everyone does something bad in their life.

# data[].attributes.body
Q8 It is possible to escape evil, but for a short period of time. There is always going to be evil in our world.

# data[].attributes.body
Q8-The old man recognizes that the devil never has a specific target and will always try and get someone through lies and other sins,even at old ages

# data[].attributes.body
Q8- It is impossible to escape evil in your life because evil is everywhere, it's just how you perceive it.

# data[].attributes.body
Q8-I think that him growing up in such a religious family, he is probably questioning his beliefs and he tried to escape the evil but not even his strong beliefs could save him from the evil

# data[].attributes.body
Q8-He realizes that the devil can come at any time and if it were to come again he would die because he is old and is not string enough to fight back

# data[].attributes.body
you can't escape evil because it is all around us every person will run into to something and in their life at least once

# data[].attributes.body
This scary because the devils supposed to be all powerful and he got killed by a fish plus he couldve easily killed the little boy

# data[].attributes.body
@zach but the devil never came back for him

# data[].attributes.body
He realizes that the devil could come back to get him at any time and he does not feel that he can defend himself or avoid the encounter

# data[].attributes.body
Q8- Gary's new realization of the devil is that he used his as an errand and his own luck he now realizes that he can control  those evil thoughts he had about the devil. He now believes the devil will get him either way. This is scary because it shows that it is not possible to escape from the devil and it still follows him...many years later. I think it is possible to escape the devil because the power of the mind is powerful and you can control things but im not 100% sure.

# data[].attributes.body
Q8- It is possibly possible to run away from evil but usally it catches up to you one way or another

# data[].attributes.body
q8/ he realizes that the devil targets no one specifically he did not sin before, and that if the devil were to come again he would die. This is scary because it is unpredictable and very possible to happen to him. It is possible because he escaped death by the devil, so it is possible

# data[].attributes.body
Q8

# data[].attributes.body
Q4- I think that the devil is trying to make and influence on Gary, not only is Gary young and impressionable he is also making selfish decisions that may be influenced my the man/devil. He believes the story because the bad behavior has influenced him to think this .

# data[].attributes.body
Q4 - The significance of the Devil's story it's connection to Dan is that both Gary's mom and brother died by a bee sting. Gary believes this because if his brother died by a sting, then his mother might as well have died by a sting.

# data[].attributes.body
He believed him because the devil had brought up all these facts that were true about his brother so a thought in the back of his mind made him question if the devil was telling the truth. Stephen King included this to show that the devil can find personal ways in order to deceive you about something big.

# data[].attributes.body
Q4- The Devils story about his mom is significant because he believes the Devil because as most little kids are, he is gullible. You can tell a kid almost anything and they will believe you, especially if you'r an adult size figure.

# data[].attributes.body
Q4- Gary  still believed the devil because of how absurd and ¨exciting"( in a bad way) the fact that someone of the closet people he ever cared for would ever die. He knew it could have been a possibility especially with the death of his brother

# data[].attributes.body
Q4 The devils story was meant to make the child sad about his mom so that it would give the devil control over the child's feelings. Gary believes this story because of the vividness. The purpose was to show how easy it is to lie.

# data[].attributes.body
Probably something regarding what the man said about Gary's mom being responsible for Dan's death because of inheriting the allergic trait to bee stings, putting the blame on her rather than the bee. Gary believed the story because the man showed Gary he knew a lot about him, and on top of that he made the story sound realistic

# data[].attributes.body
Q4- Gary believes it despite his understanding of the devil's strong likelihood to lie because he was spitting straight facts about his brother and his moms actions before Gary left the house and just knows what is going on in Gary's life. Then King included this in his story because it is in the human nature to believe someone or believe the worst outcome

# data[].attributes.body
Q4-He wanted to show how guiible you were when you were young and how you could bea able to believe anything that the devil could say

# data[].attributes.body
the reason that Gary believed the devil was that even though the devil is known tho lie he described her death so vividly that Gary couldn't help but think that worse

# data[].attributes.body
he is a naive kid so he its understandable if hr believes the devil

# data[].attributes.body
Q4- He wanted to let people know how easily tricked or gullible kids are, and knowing he was talking about his mother, he knew he would make Gary worry and believe it.

# data[].attributes.body
Q4-Because the Devil has proved himself to Gary, and he had no reason not to believe it

# data[].attributes.body
Q4: the devil is the ultimate trickster which allows him to make people believe him even when they know he is lying

# data[].attributes.body
Q4: to make him feel sad and scared

# data[].attributes.body
q4/ He believed it because he knew his brother had deid so he figured the devil wanted to hurt him. Steven King included this because it adds suspense to the story making the reader believe the devil had killed him.

# data[].attributes.body
younger people tend to listen and believe other that are older than them

# data[].attributes.body
Q4. He believes it because the Devil has power and he doesn't want to disagree with the Devil because he fears for his Life probably.

# data[].attributes.body
Q4-because the devil is so convincing and he is a younger person and young people tend to believe things that arent true more.

# data[].attributes.body
Q3- The Devil knew that the bee would kill the boy, because the devil knows everything. So his own greed got in the way and the devil wanted to kill the child himself. This shows how greedy EVERYONE IS. But there will be more bees I think, that's why the devil could allow the child to get away.

# data[].attributes.body
Perhaps he kills the bee so that Gary would feel like he owes the Devil a favor, so Gary doesn't immediately run away. This allows the Devil to torment Gary. Remember, Gary has been stung by bees before and didn't die from them, so the Devil din't save his life or anything. The bee wouldn't have killed Gary. He also doesn't want Gary to realize that his claim that his mother died is false.

# data[].attributes.body
Q3 The devil kills the bee to almost gain trust from the boy. I also think that the devil wanted to kill the boy by himself. The significance of the fish was the gift from Jesus knowing something bad was going to happen.

# data[].attributes.body
Q3 - The Devil sees how greedy Gary is getting with the fish. He wants Gary to keep getting greedier and greedier in order to bring him closer to hell. If Gary had been stung, then he would not have died as greedy as he could have been and he would have been closer to heaven.

# data[].attributes.body
Q3-I think that the reason the man didn't let the bee sting Gary is because he was seeing some darkness in Gary, like his greed and his decisions that he thought was a dark path to take, and he rewarded him by not killing him with the bee

# data[].attributes.body
letting the bee kill Gary would mean he can't strike fear in him

# data[].attributes.body

# data[].attributes.body
Q3- The Devil kills the bee instead of letting him get stung because he wanted to mess with him, trust him as they talked for a little, then eat him. The significance of the fish is the last opportunity to warn him to go back and go away before things get worse

# data[].attributes.body
The man killed the bee to see what the boy knew and he wanted to experience the boy and see hid values and morals

# data[].attributes.body
Q3 I think the devil kills the bee to show this power to child, and to try and gain his trust. The significance of the fish is that the fish is Jesus.

Q2: The fish represents the enticing bait that pulls you into bad situations, the river shows how you go down the path of life, then the fork symbolizes heaven and hell

# data[].attributes.body
`@keira good point.

# data[].attributes.body
Q1 - The fork in the river represents choice in the after life between heaven and hell. The river is one's life that leads up to this choice when it's time to die. the fish represents Jesus sacrificing himself for Gary by dragging his sins down with him to the Devil.

# data[].attributes.body
Q2- The fork in the river showed the different paths he could've taken and how each path would lead to a drastically different idea

# data[].attributes.body
Q2^

# data[].attributes.body
the fork is heaven and hell

# data[].attributes.body
Q2-I think the fish represents greed and how he wanted to catch more and more even though he had enough. The river could symbolize as a path you follow where you get into the fork in the river where you can make a good choice or bad.

# data[].attributes.body
Maybe God sent the massive fish to help save the boy from the Devil. It was probably meant to be because God knows everything. The fork in the river could represent God and the Devil, one way leads to God while the other leads to the Devil. (One way is good while the other is bad).

# data[].attributes.body
Q2- The fish represent angel and how he used them to get away. The river represents heaven and it provided angles for the kid to protect him. The fork in the river represents the split of hell and heaven.

# data[].attributes.body
Q2-I think that the two path ways and the signs from the devil were to scare him into thinking that it was his time to go. I think this might be a part of the reason that he made decisions to be greedy, and this changed how the story/his life was going to go forward.

# data[].attributes.body
credit to Keira

# data[].attributes.body
I also think the fork and the river shows danger because as he fishes more and more he starts to act differently

# data[].attributes.body
fish is jesus, the river is Gary's fate, and the fork is where Gary's decision will determine his fate

# data[].attributes.body
The river is life and multiple fish come from the river and they help him in the end

# data[].attributes.body
i think that fish served as a warning for Gary.

Q2- fish - related in the event in the bible where Jesus created a bunch of fishes for a crowd to eat; the boy caught the fish and fed the devil

Q2- the river represented the flow of life and the further you go down the more choices you're going to have to make and the fork is the cross roads that you face in life where you have to make a decision on where to go.

Q2: The fish in the story represents Jesus because the fish helped save the boy from the devil when he was in danger.

# data[].attributes.body
The fish is like how jesus protects all humans from there sins

# data[].attributes.body
q2/ I think that the fork in the river represents the space between heaven and hell. This is because his father never allows him to go past this spot, pointing to its potential danger or biblical evil. The fish can represent angels because it saved him from the devil in the end. The river represents the devils deceit because it brings the big fish that ultiimately cause him to keep fishing and to eventually fall asleep that brings the devil to his side in the end.

# data[].attributes.body
Q2- A textual clue in the passage was shown in the story when it describes his eyes are on fire and the grass is his shadow moves. The book shows how the fish he ate started to burn inside him which was very scary. The fish probably symbolizes innocence being destroyed when it burns in his mouth and makes him stop. The fish can represent angels. The River probably symbolizes heaven because "angels" come from heaven and the fish comes from the river. The river could also show a risk factor because the mom and the dad told  him not to go that far our in the river.

# data[].attributes.body
River symbolizes life and the fork is either the path to heaven or the path to hell
