American Romanticism

The legend of sleepy hollow was mainly about a man who was telling a story about sleepy hollow where he lived and how things were. He was talking about the people who lived around him and the things that he saw daily he talked about the schools and how the schools looked, he also talked about the way that sleepy hollow treated people and how he felt about people he talked about when he was in school sleepy hollow used to stay after school and play with the larger boys and sometimes he would walk the younger boys home who had a older sister around his age. He also taught some of the children in his neighborhood and he stayed weeks at a time teaching them what he already knew, sleepy hollow assisted farmers in work that wasn’t to hard, He also song a lot he was the singing master of his neighborhood he gave some of the children in the neighborhood singing lessons. He was also a gossiper he carried local gossip from house to house. I feel that he was a good man overall but he was also a pretender he wanted people to think he was something that he really was not he tried to make the women think he was smart which he was but he wanted them to think more of him so he tried to teach the local children to make a name for his self I think he took it to far he should of did it out the goodness of his heart and not to get a woman’s attention.

Ichabod Crane tried to get in good with the mothers of young children by petting them with toys and taking them out and just trying to play a role of a family man this is romantic because most women likes a man who accepts their children, and who gets along well with her children and if the children likes the man thats a 100 for the man because 9 times out of ten the man will get a chance because the woman thinks he is a family man.


I think Ichabod Crane tried to be a schoolmaster because he thought that would get him girls, he tried to teach the younger children in his neighborhood who had older sisters and he also tried to teach them singing lessons.

This story is romantic because Ichabod Crane wants you to imagine that you are in the city he wants you to believe that the city is romantic, this story is a horror story because this horse runs around chasing people and he is headless but the rationalist believe that it is not humanly possible to do that because they only believe in scientific things, sleepy hollow is a town that has a lot of roots. You have to imagine that you are there to understand the things that he is talking about like the headless horse or when he is talking bout nature its all about you imagination.



This poem is about a boy name William Cullen Bryan who is 17 yrs. Old he describes Mother Nature and how he feels about it he describes death as if he had died before. The poem is saying that no matter who you are or how much money that you have we all will die the same way and become food and nutrients to the outdoors. It’s saying that you shouldn’t worry about death because everybody will die one day and when you do worry about death mother nature will talk to you, and when you are sad and depressed it will come quicker, the nature adapts to all the moods that you are in for ex: if its sunny outside you will be happy, but if its raining outside you will be sad and depressed.


This poem is about a man working at a rope factory and he is imagining how many different thing ropes can be used for. The first thing is when he talks about he’s talking about making a swing, then he talks about a woman on a farm getting water out of a well using rope. Next is a old man using rope to ring the bells to let everybody know its time to come in, last is a schoolboy flying his kite.

I think this picture is considered romanticism because u have to visualize the picture just imagine you were there and think how would the sky look, and how would the grass look and how would it feel to be in a place of war I said war because it looks like there is a fire in the sky.

I think this is a good picture of romanticism because you have to imagine the things that you see and just imagine that you were there.
