In this article, a women stole thousands of dollars by "renting" homes on craigslist to families and they turned out to be lies and the women kept the money. In Tom Walker's case, he foreclosed on a mortgage "He was on the point of foreclosing a mortgage, by which he would complete the ruin of an unlucky land speculator for whom he had professed the greatest friendship. The poor land jobber begged him to grant a few months indulgence. Tom had grown testy and irritated and refused another day."

In this article, it talks about a man who stole $1,600 from a pet store to buy drugs. Although it is not exactly like Tom Walker, It is very similar because the man in the article is selfish enough to steal money for his needs that one day in life will kill him. In Tom Walker he was greedy and selfish. He cared about nothing but himself. He did not care about the consequences of his actions. He cared only for himself as did the man stealing the money from the pet store. He did not care about getting caught, He did not care about any punishment. he cared about getting his drugs. He did what he did to please himself.

This article shares a very important aspect that was in the Tom Walker short story. Both stories had themes of greed. Tom Walker was a very materialistic man. He wanted everything to himself, and that got him in a lot of trouble. That is the same thing that happened in the article I found. The Navy Seal wanted to hold onto a materialistic picture, that was a momentum of his raid on Bin Laden. This almost got him in a lot of trouble. Just like Tom Walker though he got his way out of it.

I think this article relates to the Walker's marriage, because in a way Tom wanted his wife dead, as did the man in the article. If Tom committed the murder of his wife in his heart, it would be the same if he were to stab her. And as result of the wrong doings Tom committed, his wrongdoings caught up with him, as did the man in the articles. Also the deaths are similar as well, because this man committed suicide, and Tom saying for the Devil to take him was basically suicide.

The story "The Legend of Sleep Hollow" can relate to this story, but it's the exact opposite of it. In Sleepy Hollow a man is trying to win the heart of a girl, in Tom Walker, he's trying to get rid of his girl. The teacher in Sleepy Hollow is strict, but not cruel, like Tom Walker and his wife. But it can relate a lot to this story because Ichabod only wants her now because he found out she will be getting an inheritance. And just like Tom Walker and his wife only cared about the wealth and material things, Ichabod only cares about the fortune he'll be getting. And again just like Tom Walker and his wife, he eventually died.

Tom Walker reminds me of the stories you here about lottery winners. Where they earn millions of dollars and then are more broke than before they won it (or dead). For example is a story about a seemingly happy couple winning the lottery : A woman divorced her husband randomly after 25 years of marriage when she secretly won the lottery. They went to court about the divorce and the judge found out about her winnings (and her keeping it from her husband) and found her guilty and her husband got all the money. This related to Tom Walker because his wife went to go and make the deal with the devil and he told her no. He then killed her but he proceeded to make the deal with Tom. Both these stories show the theme of showing peoples true colors. You never know someones true colours until you go through something tough.

I was reading an article about how two bodybuilders have been accused on starving horses on their ranch. This is both similar and opposite to Irving's short story because in the story it talks about the starving horse and how Tom Walker didn't feed it even though he had money and all. And in the article it talk about how these two body builders most likely with money have been charged with animal abuse on starving several horses. So I thought it was pretty incredible on how these people with money couldn't buy food for the horses. It's just sad to hear stuff about this.

This article is about a nine year old boy that delivers care packages to homeless women. The packs are purses with items the women need and can not get. This boy relates to Tom Walker because he is the exact opposite of him. Tom Walker was conniving and greedy, he was a man that only cared about himself. On the other hand this boy is thinking about homeless women that have a lot less than he does. He is giving to the poor and helping out his community. However Tom Walker took from people who were already in hard times and made their lives worst. Therefore Tom Walker could have took a lesson from this nine year old boy.

This may be cheesy topic but think about the weather we are having in Georgia right now.. The weather is as cold as Tom Walker's and Mrs.Walkers heart... But to go deeper then just the fact the weather is chilly think about how we cannot be very sure if its going to snow. Just like we were never sure what the two very miserable couples would come up with. To me this connects on many different levels...In Georgia if we get 2 inches of snow the roads close down , and no one is quite sure what to do because we aren't accustomed to this weather..Just like the Walkers weren't accustomed to the truth .. They fear it like we fear the snow If you think about it we can even use the snow as a symbolism.. What is under the snow? The ground obviously.. and whats under the ground? Science answers that.. But my point is lets say...what is under Tom Walkers soul? Almost like the ground.. Nothing... When I read the description we get off him I almost feel as if his insides are empty.. Nothing but oblivion... And just to go a little deeper... The snow is only affecting certain areas right now as Tom was affecting people who needed money.... and Some people love the snow but some people don't as Tom walker.

I believe Steve Harveyś ¨Colombian mess up¨ relates to the story of, The Devil and Tom Walker, because of the twist both the story and the incident includes. In the story Tom Walker brought mention to his wife of the deal with the devil, so they both had a chance to get it but only one truly could. In the Miss universe pageant all the girls had a chance but only one could win. The wife goes out to the woods to find the devil and brings all the valuables she can grab and believes she can be successful. Miss Columbia had a tried her hardest to win and when steve Harvey calls her name they believe him but he was wrong. Even though she had the chance to win she did not and the name was false. Tomś wife tried her hardest but could not make the deal even though she believe she could. Later Tom walker was selected to find the treasure just like Miss Philippians was the actual winner of the paegent

The Islamic State terror group's destruction of the oldest Christian monastery in Iraq represents "a battle of savagery against decency," U.S. Col. Steve Warren told Fox News from Baghdad.

Satellite photos obtained exclusively by The Associated Press confirm the worst fears of church authorities and preservationists -- St. Elijah's Monastery of Mosul has been completely wiped out.

For 1,400 years the compound survived assaults by nature and man, standing as a place of worship recently for U.S. troops. In earlier centuries, generations of monks tucked candles in the niches and prayed in the cool chapel. The Greek letters chi and rho, representing the first two letters of Christ's name, were carved near the entrance.

"This enemy has proven time and again its ruthlessness, its barbarity, its willingness to destroy everything from human life to civilian supporting infrastructure, to, you know, cultural artifacts, with absolute disregard for history, for humanity, or for anything that approaches decency," Col. Warren added.

In his office in exile in Irbil, Iraq, the Rev. Paul Thabit Habib, 39, stared quietly at before- and after-images of the monastery that once perched on a hillside above his hometown of Mosul. Shaken, he flipped back to his own photos for comparison.

"I can't describe my sadness," he said in Arabic. "Our Christian history in Mosul is being barbarically leveled. We see it as an attempt to expel us from Iraq, eliminating and finishing our existence in this land."

The Islamic State group, which broke from al-Qaida and now controls large parts of Iraq and Syria, has killed thousands of civilians and forced out hundreds of thousands of Christians, threatening a religion that has endured in the region for 2,000 years. Along the way, its fighters have destroyed buildings and ruined historical and culturally significant structures they consider contrary to their interpretation of Islam.

Those who knew the monastery wondered about its fate after the extremists swept through in June 2014 and largely cut communications to the area.

Now, St. Elijah's has joined a growing list of more than 100 demolished religious and historic sites, including mosques, tombs, shrines and churches in Syria and Iraq. The extremists have defaced or ruined ancient monuments in Nineveh, Palmyra and Hatra. Museums and libraries have been looted, books burned, artwork crushed -- or trafficked.

"A big part of tangible history has been destroyed," said Rev. Manuel Yousif Boji. A Chaldean Catholic pastor in Southfield, Michigan, he remembers attending Mass at St. Elijah's almost 60 years ago while a seminarian in Mosul.

"These persecutions have happened to our church more than once, but we believe in the power of truth, the power of God," said Boji. He is part of the Detroit area's Chaldean community, which became the largest outside Iraq after the sectarian bloodshed that followed the U.S. invasion in 2003. Iraq's Christian population has dropped from 1.3 million then to 300,000 now, church authorities say.

At the Vatican, spokesman Rev. Federico Lombardi, noted that since the monastery dates back to the time Christians were united, before the break with Orthodox and Catholics, the place would be a special one for many. He said it was the first news he had had of the destruction.

"Unfortunately, there is this systemic destruction of precious sites, not only cultural, but also religious and spiritual. It's very sad and dramatic," Lombardi told the AP.

The destruction of the monastery is a blow for U.S. troops and advisers who served in Iraq and had tried to protect and honor the site, a hopeful endeavor in a violent place and time.

Suzanne Bott, who spent more than two years restoring St. Elijah's Monastery as a U.S. State Department cultural adviser in Iraq, teared up when the AP showed her the images.

"Oh no way. It's just razed completely," said Bott. "What we lose is a very tangible reminder of the roots of a religion."

Army reserve Col. Mary Prophit remembered a sunrise service in St. Elijah where, as a Catholic lay minister, she served communion.

"I let that moment sink in, the candlelight, the first rays of sunshine. We were worshipping in a place where people had been worshipping God for 1,400 years," said Prophit, who was deployed there in 2004 and again in 2009.

"I would imagine that many people are feeling like, `What were the last 10 years for if these guys can go in and destroy everything?"' said Prophit, a library manager in Glenoma, Washington.

This month, at the request of AP, satellite imagery firm DigitalGlobe pulled a series of images of the same spot from their archive of pictures taken globally every day.

Imagery analyst Stephen Wood, CEO of Allsource Analysis, reviewed the pictures for AP and identified the date of destruction between Aug. 27 and Sept. 28, 2014. Before it was razed, images show a partially restored, 27,000-square-foot religious building. Although the roof was largely missing, it had 26 distinctive rooms including a sanctuary and chapel. One month later, "the stone walls have been literally pulverized," said Wood.

"Bulldozers, heavy equipment, sledgehammers, possibly explosives turned those stone walls into this field of gray-white dust. They destroyed it completely," he said. "There's nothing to rebuild."

The monastery, called Dair Mar Elia, is named for the Assyrian Christian monk -- St. Elijah -- who built it between 582 and 590 A.C. It was a holy site for Iraqi Christians for centuries, part of the Mideast's Chaldean Catholic community.

In 1743, tragedy struck when as many as 150 monks who refused to convert to Islam were massacred under orders of a Persian general, and the monastery was damaged. For the next two centuries it remained a place of pilgrimage, even after it was incorporated into an Iraqi military training base and later a U.S. base.

Then in 2003 St. Elijah's shuddered again -- this time a wall was smashed by a tank turret blown off in battle. Iraqi troops had already moved in, dumping garbage in the ancient cistern. The U.S. Army's 101st Airborne Division took control, with troops painting over ancient murals and scrawling their division's "Screaming Eagle," along with "Chad wuz here" and "I love Debbie," on the walls.

A U.S. military chaplain, recognizing St. Elijah's significance, kicked the troops out and the Army's subsequent preservation initiative became a pet project for a series of chaplains who toured thousands of soldiers through the ruin.

"It was a sacred place. We literally bent down physically to enter, an acquiescence to the reality that there was something greater going on inside," remembered military chaplain Jeffrey Whorton. A Catholic priest who now works at Ft. Bragg, he had to collect himself after viewing the damage. "I don't know why this is affecting me so much," he said.

The U.S. military's efforts drew attention from international media outlets including the AP in 2008. Today those chronicles, from YouTube videos captured on the cell phones of visiting soldiers to AP's own high resolution, detailed photographs, take on new importance as archives of what was lost.

One piece published in Smithsonian Magazine was written by American journalist James Foley, six years before he was killed by Islamic State militants.

St. Elijah's was being saved, Foley wrote in 2008, "for future generations of Iraqis who will hopefully soon have the security to appreciate it."

BATON ROUGE, La. -- LSU's dismissal of 2011 Heisman Trophy finalist Tyrann Mathieu from its football program on Friday came after the cornerback's repeated violations of LSU's substance abuse policy for athletes, a source with knowledge of the situation told ESPN.com.

Mathieu was suspended for a game last year for failing a drug test, and he had been undergoing counseling throughout the spring and summer, the source said.

At a news conference on Friday, LSU coach Les Miles said Mathieu's dismissal was for a violation of team rules.

Miles confirmed it was not a legal issue. "Both," he said when asked if the dismissal was because of a team rule or a school rule.

"We extended ourselves personally and professionally to him," Miles said. "He has really improved and has a chance to take some steps as a person. ...

"I complied and agreed that it was right," Miles said. "We'll miss the guy. The football team's got to go on. We'll have to fill the void."

A source told ESPN's Joe Schad on Friday that Mathieu has been looking for a new school to play for this season. Mathieu has two years of eligibility left and could transfer, but he would have to sit out this season if he went to another school in major college football. If he moved down a level, to FCS, he could play right away.

"I can't imagine he would be here and not want to transfer and go play football," Miles said. "We will help him in every way we can."

Last season Mathieu, who is nicknamed Honey Badger, was a surprise finalist for the Heisman and won the Chuck Bednarik Award as the nation's best defensive player.

The junior defensive back helped the Tigers win the SEC championship and reach the BCS title game. LSU lost the championship 21-0 to Alabama.

LSU enters this season ranked No. 1 in the USA Today coaches' poll. The AP college football poll will be released Aug. 18. The Tigers opened preseason camp last week as one of the favorites to reach the national championship game again. LSU started closing practices on Wednesday, but officials said Mathieu practiced at every practice until Friday morning, when he was informed of his dismissal.

"I called on the leadership of this team to understand that these things happen and they certainly understand it and they are ready to take positive steps," Miles said of the decision, which officials said was made Thursday night.

Mathieu was the team's big-play machine at cornerback and on special teams. The All-American scored four touchdowns -- two on punt returns and two on fumble returns -- intercepted two passes and caused six fumbles and recovered four last season.

"At the time, I think it's an opportunity to redirect and I think he still has a bright future," Miles said. "He can still accomplish all the goals he set for himself. It's not going to be easy, but it's going to be doable.

"For the team, we lost a quality person. We enjoyed working him. He was a great teammate.

"I think he gave us a lot of examples we can learn from. I think he is a quality, quality guy who had a behavior issue. That's it. Certainly the overview of his time with us is positive."

LSU athletic director Joe Alleva said Mathieu's rule violations were an "ongoing issue."

"This was just a team policy, not going to confirm or deny either way, " Alleva said when asked if the dismissal was related to last year's one-game drug suspension.

"The policy is a written policy. It's like the speed limit, if you are going over the speed limit, you're breaking the law. He's been over the speed limit. As in, he's been over it a lot."

Asked if it was a legal issue, as in a law violation, or just policy, Alleva said, "policy," and added that LSU made efforts to counsel Mathieu.

"We do everything we can to help these kids. He's had help and we've been trying to help him all along in everything," Alleva said. "Being an athlete is a privilege. You have to follow the rules to take advantage of that privilege and unfortunately, he doesn't have that privilege here any more. He's a good kid. He really is a good kid, it's a shame. But I told him this morning, that he has the rest of his life. His life is still ahead of him. He still has an opportunity to do good things."

Mathieu could stay at LSU and pay tuition, but Alleva said that was unrealistic.

"He's not going to stay in school," he said.

Mathieu has two years of eligibility left and could transfer, but he would have to sit out this season if he went to another school in major college football. If he moved down a level, to FCS, he could play right away.

The Tigers are No. 1 in the coaches' preseason poll. The AP college football poll will be released Aug. 18.

The Tigers open the season at home Sept. 1 against North Texas. Their only big nonconference test comes the next week when Washington and star quarterback Keith Price visit Tiger Stadium. LSU opens SEC play on the road Sept. 22 at Auburn and renews its rivalry with Alabama on Nov. 3 in Death Valley.

"I can't imagine he would be here and not want to transfer and go play football," Miles said. "We will help him in every way we can."

LSU isn't quite as deep at cornerback as it was last season, when it had All-American Morris Claiborne and often used Mathieu as a nickleback. Tharold Simon is the other expected starter opposite Mathieu. Second on the depth chart are redshirt freshman Jalen Collins and freshman Jalen Mills.

"We have good players," Miles said of potential replacements. "It's interesting. Eric Reid, Tharold Simon and a guy who's no longer on this team (Mathieu) all played very significant roles in a Cotton Bowl victory at the end of the season. We have similar type guys. The challenge will be to them."

Because of injuries, Reid, Simon and Mathieu all played a lot of snaps in the 2011 Cotton Bowl as true freshmen. This suggests that true freshmen will have to play a lot.

"I think (sophomore) Odell Beckham is a very talented punt returner and I think we're good at kick returner as well," Miles said.
Information from ESPN.com's Chris Low and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Director Spike Lee says that when Hollywood's biggest stars gather next month in California for the 88th Annual Academy Awards, he will be on the other side of the country at a basketball game.

"Feb. 28th, we'll be at the world's most famous arena, Madison Square Garden, to see my beloved orange and blue hopefully beat the Miami Heat," Lee said today on " Good Morning America." "I'm going to the game."
David Oyelowo, Don Cheadle, George Clooney Weigh in on Lack of Diversity Among 2016 Oscar Nominees Jada Pinkett Smith Thanks Academy President After Statement on Diversity
Lee, a two-time Academy Award nominee, has spoken out about the lack of diversity among this year's Oscar nominees but he said his non-attendance should not be called a boycott.

"Here's the thing. I have never used the word boycott," Lee said on "GMA." "All I said was my beautiful wife Tonya, we're not coming. That's it, then I gave the reasons, so I never used the word boycott."

"It's like do you. We're not coming," he said. "I'm not going. My wife's not going. Everyone else can do what they want to do."

The Academy Awards has drawn fire the past two years for not including minorities in the top award categories. This year, not one person of color was nominated for the coveted gold trophy in top categories such as Best Actor or Actress and Best Supporting Actor or Actress.

The lack of diversity among this year's nominees has sparked the social media hashtag #OscarsSoWhite.

Lee, who put the spotlight on Hollywood's diversity problem in November when he accepted an Honorary Oscar, called it a "misdirection play" to focus solely on the Academy Awards, whose governing body is 94 percent white and 77 percent male.

"We're chasing a guy down the field when he doesn't even have the ball," Lee said, drawing on a football analogy. "The other guy is high-stepping in the end zone.

"It goes further than the Academy Awards. It has to go back to the gatekeepers. The people who have the green-light vote," Lee said. "We're not in the room. The executives, when they have these green-light meetings quarterly where they look at the scripts, they look who's in it and they decide what we're making and what we're not making."

Lee suggested that Hollywood studios implement a program similar to what he says has been successful in the NFL, where he says teams are required to interview minority candidates for head coaching and senior executive jobs.

"That has increased the number of minority coaches and executives in the NFL and that should be used because we can't go to that old tired realm, 'Well we can't find any qualified candidates,'" Lee said. "That is BS."

Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences President Cheryl Boone Isaacs issued a statement Monday night to say she was "heartbroken" by the lack of diversity in this year's Oscar nominations and said she would conduct a review of membership recruitment in the coming days and weeks.

Lee said Isaacs also raised the issue in November but that real change will take time.

"When I received my honorary Oscar at the Governor's Ball in November, she began that night saying this was her plan," Lee said. "We can't say, 'Hocus, pocus, presto chango' and the membership's going to change overnight."

Lee called the issue of diversity in Hollywood a problem "from top to bottom." He said when his film, "Do the Right Thing," was nominated for a 1989 Best Picture Oscar, it lost the award to "Driving Miss Daisy."

"That film's being taught in colleges, schools," Lee said of "Do the Right Thing." "No one is watching 'Driving Miss Daisy' now. So it also shows you that the work is what's important because that's what's going to stand for years, not an award."

This year's Oscars ceremony is being hosted by Chris Rock. The comedian himself weighed in on the award show's lack of diversity in nominations while tweeting a promo for the 88th Academy Awards.

Rock captioned the promo video with, "The #Oscars. The White BET Awards."

When asked what would he do if he were in Rock's position, Lee replied that there are no "if's" and reiterated that he himself would be watching the Knicks play in New York.

"Chris Rock is a grown-a** man," Lee said. "He's just going to do what he wants to do and I support either way."

The 88th Academy Awards will be broadcast on ABC on Feb. 28.

The Devil and Tom Walker story can relate to Jesse J's song, "Price Tag." "It's not about the money" in the song nor the story. It goes to show that temporary things have temporary outcomes. "And your heels so high that you can't even have a good time." To the world money is everything, so other people adopt that value because they want to fit in. People do things that they don't like everyday just to fit in. It takes a good person who's good to themselves to develop their own perception of many things. Especially if it doesn't regulate with others.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/april/4/newsid_2453000/2453987.stm Tom Walker would come home from work every day and wouldn't do anything wrong he was always trying to stay positive even though he didn't really like his wife, but when he would come home he was expecting to have a meal to eat or something to eat because he had been at work all day but he wouldn't. Because his wife would hide all the food and lie to him about it all the time only because she was selfish. Just like Martin Luther king he was only trying to help the situation with discrimination against colored folks. He was only trying to keep the peace but some people just liked to cause trouble and M.L.K was shot dead for trying to keep the peace like Tom Walker.

There was a graphic chart created from previous lottery winners and how they spent their money. 3,780 millionaires were created from just 3,000 millionaires. The 3,000 millionaires were generous enough to help others when they could have only helped themselves.

There was a study to see if the brains in women and men were different. This was due to the fact that over time, women are claimed to have more "smarts" in certain things, just like guys have more "smarts" in other things. I think this relates to The Devil and Tom Walker because his wife thinks that she is better than him, and stronger than him. She thinks that since he refuses to take the deal with the Devil, that she will go and make the deal herself and get the treasure because she is just as bad as he is. But in the study of the brains of females and males, they are the same. Different people are wired differently. Just like Tom and his wife, they are both the same greedy people...

For the 2016 presidential election, candidate Bernie Sanders is banking on people getting to know him to win. This relates to the story in that the Devil works in the same way. The devil lets people, like Tom Walker, see what he can do for them and convinces them to do his will. Tom Walker made a deal with the devil, because of all the riches he could gain. This is essentially what Bernie Sanders is doing, except that Mr. Sanders isn't entirely the devil.

I think this article is a good example of Irving's short story. A crane collapsed and killed two of the employees. The owner of the company who's crane collapsed, James Lomma, faked raw emotion in the court case. However, here's the catcher. This more than likely wouldn't have happened if he had gotten the crane fixed properly. Being wealthy, he hired an unqualified company to create the replacement within a smaller amount of time. All of this revolves around greed. Tom Walker, was greedy himself. He was greedy and ended up unhappy and having bad things in the end. Along with the wealthy business owner, ended with two dead bodies and a manslaughter trial because of his own greed.

The story of Tom Walker reminds me of one of my favorite hoaxes called the Cottingley Fairy Hoax of 1917 when two girls took a picture of themselves and added a cutout of fairies from a magazine. People actually believed that the girls had seen and captured real fairies on camera and both girls never denied it until their deaths because they liked all the attention they received from the media. It reminds me of Tom Walker because he did anything in his power to prove that he could put on a show when he pretended to be religious and had a bible in his hands.

The post-Reconstruction days of the United States were inundated with greed on the part of wealthy business owners, especially those whom owned railroads. The Credit Mobilier scandal of 1873 involved business owners cheating money from the public when they were paid from inflated railway prices and eventually selling shares of the company to avoid getting caught. This relates to Tom's character because his attitude, when it came to attaining money, was incredibly dishonest and crooked after making his pact with the devil.

I related mine to the monopolies of the world. We learned about that in History this year. People would begin their business and they would become very successful. Other people would come and try to have competition with the business but the original company would do anything to shut the other business down. Eventually that business would be the only one and no one would try and compete with them. This went on for years until someone put a stop to it. This relates to the story because Tom would come to peoples houses and kick them out and didn't care about the other people he just would do anything possible to make more money. Even if it meant selling his soul to the Devil.

In this article, each presidential candidate is making accusations, pushing to make sure that one, or the other, is in the wrong.

And Hillary continuously takes jabs at Trump, to make him seem like the weaker choice for president.

It may seem like a bit of a stretch but i think this relates to om Walker and the Devil"because near the end of the story tom starts going to church. To us the reader it makes him seem like a hypocrite, going to church after he made a deal with the devil. However it is also a sign of his last bit of humanity.
