Rapping+Devil+and+Tom+Walker

 By: Lindsey- Our presentation was to write a rap about all of the main events from The Devil and Tom Walker. After writing down the main points we had to cover, we put together a rap. Ashley was "Scratch" while Lauren read for Tom's wife. Mary Dina showed off her mean beat boxing skills while I amazed the class as the sick-nasty narrator, L. Stizzle. By, Lauren: For our presentation we used all of the important events form the book, like when Tom met the devil, his wife died, he became a usurer to get the treasure from the devil, and how, in the end, the devil came and took Tom away. For the rap, we also included the three main characters; The Devil, Tom, and his wife. I played the part of Tom's wife. My line was to say, "oh baby, what did the devil say?" (twice).  By: Ashley: For the rap, I played the part of Devil and said five lines.  Lindsey was the main rapper though, and Mary was the beat boxer.  There's an old story told bout a Pirate's old treasure Every man wanted for their own pleasure My dawg Tom Walker lived up in Boston Had a mean old wife who was cheatin' and costin' him bumps and bruises while his confidence grew And one day as he came home to see his boo Took a short cut that passed a fort. "Yo, what are you doin' in my hood?" "I'm Old Scratch, the Devil and life is good." "Listen homie G, I've got no fear. My wife beats me with hands like spears." "I'ma tell you 'bout a treasure under an old tree But there's some conditions, trick - you see." Stracthy didn't say what was to be done. It can be assumed, Tommy won't have fun. "Oh baby Oh baby What'd the Devil say!?" "Shut up bitty get out of my way" "Oh baby Oh baby what'd the devil say!?" "Find out for yourself he's there today." The woman left, never to return. Maybe she's hurt, maybe she's burned. Tommy went back to take a look. When he got there, his head he shook. "Be an usurer and get my money!" said the devil to his new honey. After a while Tommy started feeling bad he went to church, but still was sad. A knock on the door said "Tom, you're come for" He was dragged away and to this day Tom is dead. Mary: The rap written above is what Lindsey, Ashley, Lauren and I performed today in class. Lindsey acted as the narrator while I beat boxed. I also played Tom while Lauren played Tom's wife and Ashley played the role of Old Scratch.
