BR2-5 Rip Van Winkle andTHe Legend of Sleepy Hollow

“He also tells travelers about his twenty- year- long sleep. Some people believe him but some don’t.” (p.33) ― Rip Van Winkle
“there is a silent valley called Sleepy Hollow. It is the quietest place in the world.” (p.43) ― The Legend of Sleepy Hollow

This book has two different story, and I read both of them, so I am going to write two book review at once. First, I finished reading Rip Van Winkle. I have heard that story’s name, but I have not read ever. I thought that this is like Urashima Taro. I don’t know which was first. However, I like Rip Van Winkle better than Urashima Taro, because Urashima Taro was end when he came back to real world. The other hand, Rip Van Winkle was written after he came back, and the ending looked so happy, so I like this better than that. I have known Washington Irving who is one of the most famous writers in the world, and I have watched the movie which is The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. It was little scary for me, but very interesting one, and that is his famous work. Johnny Depp was in the movie as the main character of it, and I have watched it many times include in a class of history of American literature. I didn’t know who is bad and who will survive until the last scene, so I was excited.
