Be responsible. Homework has to be delivered in time, exactly the way teachers teach you.
No excuses. Nobody wants to listen to your excuses. Be a committed student and you will have no problems.
Take notes. Then go to the library and double check the information. Find as many sources as you can

Answer:
There are many ironic elements throughout the text.
Explanation:
In "Rip Van Winkle," Washington Irving uses figurative language that conveys secret and obscured messages left to readers to discover.
While there is a description of a<em> “curtain lecture”</em> as “worth all the sermons in the world for teaching the virtues of patience and long-suffering.”, which should describe how Dame Van Winkle's lecturing teaches patience, the real message underneath it is that this type of nagging is not valuable at all.
<em>The story describes how Dame Van Winkle often lectures and nags him:</em>
“… his wife kept continually dinning in his ears about his idleness, his carelessness, and the ruin he was bringing on his family. Morning, noon, and night, her tongue was incessantly going, and everything he said or did was sure to produce a torrent of household eloquence.”
These are just some of the examples which Washington Irving uses as <em>humor and irony</em> to show the relationship between Rip and his wife.
