In Irving's "Rip van Winkle," the protagonist falls asleep and then wakes up many years ago, as an old man and sees that everything has changed.
This is an important piece of work for the American mythology - Irving used the method of a short story to convey these myths and legends. The characteristics that are implemented in this story are - it is set in the distant, maybe even non-existent past; strange, exaggerated characters are in it; there is also a positive message about a nation and its people. These characteristics make the reader fall in love with the story faster, and they will forever remember it.
Is this like a newspaper headline?
I looked this question up and found it online. Even without the crossword puzzle, we can answer it because of the hint sentences. They are as follows:
1. I ________ pictures.
2. I ________ my grandfather.
3. I ________ exercises.
4. I ________ books.
Answer:
1. I draw pictures.
2. I help my grandfather.
3. I do exercises.
4. I read books.
Explanation:
For this question, we need to both unscramble the verbs and decide where they go.
If by looking at the scrambled letters you find it difficult to figure out what word they spell out, the best strategy is to read the sentences. They offer context. For example, suppose you couldn't figure out EARD. When you see "I _______ books," you will quickly realize that EARD spells READ because what we usually do with books is read them. The same works for the other sentences.
Answer:
The first one is adolescant - it should be spelt as adolescent. The second one is appearrance - it should be spelt appearance.
I hope this helps!
