My opinion about Rip Van Winkle is that he is to nice and that he cares about how other people look at him other than how he look at himself. He should be ashamed of himself for helping other people with their problems but not helping his own family with their struggles. He is a good man but he should focus more on his family’s household and make sure that his kids are in control and living good before he try to fix the whole towns problems. He would be a very good man if he spent the time that he did fixing his life sometimes other than responding to every body else’s needs and wants.
Rip Van Winkle is not a bad person but he would have been a better man if he showed his family that he cared about them more than he show. He should have been a man and did as his wife wanted him to and it would have been helpful to hear her out when she nags sometimes. He should have also been a man and confessed that he didn’t like his wife very much. I think that he set a negative example for his son and basically showed him that he was a suck-up. Now I see why people say "you don’t know what you have until it’s gone", this story kind of set an example for that phrase.
If I were Rip Van Winkle I would be a great person in my family’s eye’s before I would in my neighbor’s eyes. If I knew that my household was going down the drain and the my crops weren’t growing because I didn’t work in it I would be ashamed to show my face to anyone. That would make my family feel as if no one cared if they were to live or die, and that theirs no purpose to live because no one will notice if they were still on the earth.
The first thing I found Romantic about this story is when Rip went to sleep for twenty years after he drunk from the flagon. I mean really, you would have to use your imaginary to see that happening. There is no way possible that a person could sleep for twenty years straight. It wasn’t realistic but it was very interesting. The second thing that I found Romantic about this story is that when he slept for twenty years no one just happened to run across him. I can’t believe that no one didn’t see some one laying on the ground and not to saying anything, some body had to run across him if it’s been twenty years.
I think that the poem is trying to explain and relate to nature. The poem is also trying to relate to humans. The poem is saying that people shouldn’t be scared of god or dying. Just because you die doesn’t mean that it’s the end of your life and that you’re going to suffer. Everyone has to die so why be scared of it, no one is going to be here forever. I think that it is relating nature to death by saying that after you die you will live another life as something else like a plant, animal, or something different. Maybe being dead is better than living, life is painful and full of worries, struggles, and problems, maybe death is calm and leads to happiness. It is also trying to say that nature can talk to you and that you should turn to nature when thinking about dying because nature is like the dead people, they are living in peace. I find it Romantic when it says talk to nature, I would have to use my imagination a lot to do that.
I think the poem is about someone using his imaginary to be successful at work. When you are imagining things it makes you think differently about your environment and it helps you complete the day without a lot of struggles. It also makes you interesting in doing whatever you do. The whole story relates to Romantic. I know for a fact that imagining helps you through out the day because I do it at school a lot and it keeps me focus and woke and it helps me see things more clearly.
A visual like this is Romanticism because it has a picture of nature which Romanticism talks about and has a lot to do with. It r
eminds me of a happy and peaceful place. It also is Romanticism I think because it reminds me of death. What I mean by that is that it looks like a place that a dead person would want to be so they can rest in peace. It is a very calming place and the most precious place to be around.
