"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

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.

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

Life of a Legend Ludwig van Beethoven‚ also known as " The General of Musicians‚" was born on December 16‚ 1770. However‚ this date is not exact because it is believed that Beethoven’s father lied about his son’s age in order to portray him as an infant prodigy. As a result‚ Beethoven is convinced he was born on December 16‚ 1772 at the Rheingasse home‚ which belonged to the Fischers‚ who were close friends of the family (Orga 8). Johann van and Maria Magdalena Beethoven bore five children
