1) Robert johnsons deal with the devil could be considered faustian because he was willing to trade his soul inorder to gain fame,easy money and women as he pleased.
2)hoo doo is encoded passages of Creole work songs,as well as an unknown number of time-lost styles. Hoo doo fits into robert johnsons songs because he was born in west africa and it went back to his roots.
3)i think robert and the crossroads is a metaphor for all musicians becasue it shows how much it takes and how much you have to give up and leave behind in order to become one. when Robert johnson gave his soul to the devil, i think it was showing that in order to become big, you have to be willing to give up everything you have, the more you are willing to give up and leave behind the better and bigger you will get. like robert johnson, some poeple will give up just about anything if it means getting more fame and money, becasue people are greedy like that, always looking for more.
4)i would wait at the crossroad for happiness. i think it is very important that every one is happy in life, and happy where they are. i dont want to have to worry about the little things, or even worry at all.
