Romanticism
1. In the story Rip Van Winkle there were many romantic points that you could have caught hold of, but I have chosen the time of when Rip Van Winkle was on Catskill Mountain where he and his dog Wolf sat in the woods and relaxed. Here’s a quote from the passage “He would sometimes sit himself at the foot of a tree, and share the contents of his wallet with Wolf, with whom he sympathized as a fellow- sufferer in persecution.” Rip Van Winkle felt that his wife didn’t understand him or appreciate him so he had to find a way of escaping. I choose this as an example because it was a way for him to escape what he thought was nonsense into a world of peace. Even though this wasn’t true to him and Wolf it was.
Another point of romantic that I chose from the story was when Rip Van Winkle awoke from his dreams to find that his dog and gun was gone. Here’s some direct evidence “On waking, he found himself on the green knoll whence he had first seen the old man of the glen.” Before he went into a deep sleep he was with an old man that was calling his name through the woods, upon awaking the old man as well as his belongings were gone. The night before they had a run-in with nine pins who were a dangerous group of people. So in my thought, they took his dog and his gun and the old man was involved with them. I chose this as another example because he thought that by him being away in the mountains he could gain some relaxation when really he was tricked into a spell.

2. In the poem “Thanatopsis” by William Cullen Bryant he talks about death. I think that the poem is saying when it seems close to a death there's no need to be afraid because its going to b a happy time. It talks about how everything will look and to live your life while you’re here. This shows romanticism in the poem because no one has actually died these are just the things that he’s talking about out of nature, that he can imagine on how everything will look. It has a big focus on the thing that he believes nature is teaching us before we die. It's showing how a grave would look, or how the world will be.
3. The point of “Ropewalk” by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow is talking about a lot of different scenes being seen through someone’s point of view. He’s working in a factory and he's going round and round viewing people's lifes of every kind from a girl poised, to a school boy with a kite. While reading the poem, in my mind I could imagine the girl being poised in the air as if she’s a model, I could also see the two maids’ hands clasping grass. This is a good example of romanticism because these are all things that he’s seeing in his mind but they’re not happening in actuality.
4. I chose this picture as an example of romanticism because it’s showing a view of a beautiful sky and people thinking and working. This could be romanticism because the person could be imagining they were in the photo doing the same things.
