In this excerpt from herman melville’s short story "the lightning-rod man," which parts best support the view that the narrator equates the salesman with the devil?

who has empowered you, you tetzel, to peddle round your indulgences from divine ordinations? the hairs of our heads are numbered, and the days of our lives. in thunder as in sunshine, i stand at ease in the hands of my god. false negotiator, away! see, the scroll of the storm is rolled back; the house is unharmed; and in the blue heavens i read in the rainbow, that the deity will not, of purpose, make war on man's earth."

"impious wretch! " foamed the stranger, blackening in the face as the rainbow beamed, "i will publish your infidel notions."
the scowl grew blacker on his face; the indigo-circles enlarged round his eyes as the storm-rings round the midnight moon. he sprang upon me; his tri-forked thing at my heart.

i seized it; i snapped it; i dashed it; i trod it; and dragging the dark lightning-king out of my door, flung his elbowed, copper scepter after him.
but spite of my treatment, and spite of my dissuasive talk of him to my neighbors, the lightning-rod man still dwells in the land; still travels in storm-time, and drives a brave trade with the fears of man.

Read the excerpts from “take the tortillas out of your poetry” and “speaking arabic.” my friend had concluded that if he took his language and culture out of his poetry, he stood a better chance of receiving a fellowship. he took out his native language, the poetic patois of our reality, the rich mixture of spanish, english, pachuco and street talk which we know so well. in other words, he took the tortillas out of his poetry, which is to say he took the soul out of his poetry. at a neighborhood fair in texas, somewhere between the german oom-pah sausage stand and the mexican gorditas booth, i overheard a young man say to his friend, “i wish i had a heritage. sometimes i feel—so lonely for one.” and the tall american trees were dangling their thick branches right down over his head. which best states how the structures of both excerpts support ideas about cultural diversity? each incorporates non-english words. each incorporates academic words. each incorporates offensive words. each incorporates nonsense words.
