The Legend of Sleepy Hollow


The legend of sleepy hollow is a very intersting story.When i first heard of a sleepy hollow was when i saw a movie known as Sleepy Hollow.The movie and story are two different things. In the movie there are things going on or you may say happening that's not in the actual story/ or book.Actor Johnny Dept is the main character who played in the movie Sleepy Hollow.Mr.Dep played a major role in this movie as a scientist who is investigating on the headless horseman.In the story or the book which ever you prefer you do not hear much about an investigator.


This American Romanticism is involved with a sequestered glen who has long been known by the name of sleepy hollow.He has rustic lads who are known as the sleepy Hollow Boyz.A drosey, dreamy, infunce seem to hangover the land.Some people thought it was bewitchied by a high german doctor.Every one who is amongst this neighborhood is abound with the local tales,huanted spots,and twilight superstition. How ever thier are some domanite spirits that hunts that region.But there is also time for love. There is this girl, the daughter of Balt Van Tassel, a nice girl who gets her way because her dad wants to make her happy and,her mother dose her own thing, she thinks that girls can raise thier selves.But the dughter of Mr.tasssel has had a man fall in love with her.
Their are many different tales to this story.But to make this story short and, to let you hear a little about it so you will be interested in reading it. The young fellow in this story went out looking for an explanation basically to see if the tells of this story was true.So one day he goes out into the woods and i guess you can say he found an explanation to what he wanted to know, along with that came fear.The fear was of a headless horseman mounted up on a black horse of a large frame.For a moment he had to deal with his fear the headless horsemen and him where amongst each other for a while.Until they reached the road where sleepy hollow turns off.On this day that horsemen kept going as the man thought to him self if i ca get to the other side of the bridge i should be safe at the as he speak that he feels the feeling of the horsemen around him and that feeling was true after a period of time lets say about four minutes the horsemen flies by him like a whirlwind.In the end the headless horsemen was at rest or is he.




This story is romantic because, Romanticism is based on imagination.In this story a headless horseman would be what you would have to use an imagination on.No one can be alive with no head and steal be living and going around do things that people alive are doing.



In the poem Thanatopsis Washington Irving was trying to explain to the people in the city that you should come to the country where you can be happy unlike the life in the city. You should not be afraid to die when you feel that you are about to die think of nature. In the end he is saying every one is equal no one is higher than anyone else everyone should be treated like a king a queen the most up highest.It's basically based on Nature, Imagination,and the the fact of how everyone should be treated equally. To brake it down all into one this is what you call Romanticism.

This is about both poems : Natuer speaks in diffrent ways, but when you think of death think of natuer in all the good that is of natuer,To sum the poem up thou shall lie down showing ordinary people are as good as the wise and more.


The Rope Walk:Rope walk is about this man who is inside this ship with little windows that are not that big and him and some others are making a rope.He has been doing this horrible job for a while now that his imagination has him thinking he has a spider web in his head with a spider inside the spider web.As he keep working doing this horrible job he starts using Romanticism. As he start usin romantacism he is seeing the rope being used as different things like a woman swinging on a rope, he saw the rope being used at a well and many other things. Being that he used his imagination with the rope, was his example of Romanticism.

You have some work to do here. You should provide more from the Legend of Sleepy Hollow. What you have here is pretty brief and only reflects one part of the story everybody already knows.

The sections about the poetry also need some direct evidence to be complete.

Leave me another comment when you have wrapped this up.

thanks.
