What the "Rip Van Winkle?"

Tonight, here's what you are supposed to be doing:

1. Read the story ("Rip Van Winkle")
2. Locate/highlight examples of Romantic writing (reflections on nature, reflections on religion, reflections on life/purpose)
3. Locate the moral/theme (what was Irving trying to communicate to his readers?)
4. Answer the question: Was Irving's romantic writing productive? Did it add or take away from the story? Why or why not?

Email me if you have any questions!
Good Luck!
