American Romaticism

Task 1

I read Rip Van Winkle.

Task 2

The story Rip Van Winkle was a good example of Romaticism, Rip Van Winkle is an average man who has a run donw farm and is poor. But he helps a lot of people and everyone like him, "
Whenever he went dodging about the village, he was surrounded
by a troop of them, hanging on his skirts, clambering on his back, and
playing a thousand tricks on him with impunity; and not a dog would bark
at him throughout the neighborhood."

See he woudl get followed around and bugged by the children. But Rip Van Winkle liked to go to the mountains and hunt for little animals in solatary. One day he was up in the Mountains and saw a man walking with liquer on his back, he helped him and they ended up with this group of odd fellows. He passes out and when he walks up he is old and it is 20 years later. But to him it had only been one night. The reason that that is romatic is because it is imagination it is out of the ordinary, its a tale that cant be proven but if you believe then you believe, the story does not ahve a logical reason at all and that is why it is romatic.

Task 3

The poem is basically just talking about death and how you shouldent be afraid of it, because it happens to everyone, and its natural and you will be returning to the earth that we come from, also that everyone is equal in death and you will not be alone. What is romantic about the poem is that its very imaginative it uses lots of different types of speech to create an image, and it talks about the equality of everyone.

Task 4

In this poem he is talking about how his job in the rope factory is boring, but then he starts imagining what the rope could be used for, the one that stood out to me was the one were he talks about a tight rope walker. I think this poem is a very good example of Romaticism because he is a man who uses his imagination to make his job more exiting, which is what Romaticism is all about.

Task 5

I think that the picture is Romantic because it has imagination, because the sky is not usually red and the red is reflecting into the water, which is uterly impossible. So that is why i think that it is Romantic.
