Urgency is becoming increasingly important because change is shifting from episodic to continuous. That means there is a constant need for an urgent

One characteristic present in romantic stories is symbolism. In The Devil In Daniel Webster‚ Daniel left his old life in the country for his new found prosperity in the city. Influenced by the Devil‚ and his own enjoyment‚ he became a bank broker. However‚ in his later years Daniel became an avid church goer as means to keep the Devil from collecting his soul.
