    Rip Van Winkle After reading Wshington Irving’s "Rip Van Winkle" I believe his point was merely to show how the American Revoultion changed one small village and gender issues‚ and shows the comical relationship between a lazy and careless husband and an over-domineering wife. It was written to be a political symbolism and historical alusion of colonial life under British rule to the democracy of the young United States‚ before and after the American Revoulutionary War. During the time the
