"Rip Van Winkle" by Washington Irving is a fiction story of a character whose destiny was affected by marvellous circumstances. In comparison to Benjamin’s Franklin Autobiography and Ralph Waldo Emerson’s Self reliance‚ there are some things that are similar‚ but overall Rip Van Winkle is completely different plot; in other words‚ it’s main character is unique. I found several evidences proving that. First‚ the book itself is written in an inimitable style. In the very beginning of this work with

I believe he used painting as an outlet to express his emotions‚ turmoil and inner demons. In the last couple of years of his life van Gogh was inspired be Japanese woodblocks and almond trees. Van Gogh was very close to his younger Theo and they kept in touch with each other through correspondence via postal service. In January in 1890‚ Theo

Rip Van Winkle In the late 1700’s and early 1800’s‚ literature began to show it was changing thanks to the newly formed democracy in America. As is the case with any young government‚ many different interest groups arose to attempt to mold the government according to their vision of democracy. Washington Irving‚ a native New Yorker born in 1783‚ grew up in a world engulfed in these democratic ideals. He grew up to be‚ as many would grow up in this atmosphere‚ a political satirist. This satirical

Rip Van Winkle Washington Irving wrote Rip Van Winkle with the American people in mind. At this time society was changing drastically. America was attempting to go through a struggle with forming their own identity. America wanted to have an identity that would set them free from English culture and rule.

Rip Van Winkle I believe Washington Irving’s purpose for writing ‘Rip Van Winkle’ was to teach a lesson and to comment on the American Revolution at the same time. I think that the lesson Irving is trying to teach is that if you live an idle life‚ life will pass you by. Rip was not concerned with working to support his family or to achieve any sort of goals. He was only interested in doing things that he enjoyed and that did not help to support his family. He slept for twenty years‚ and when he
