Read this excerpt from “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” and then answer the questions that follow. It [the tree] was connected wit

h the tragical story of the unfortunate André, who had been taken prisoner hard by; and was universally known by the name of Major André's tree. The common people regarded it with a mixture of respect and superstition, partly out of sympathy for the fate of its ill-starred namesake, and partly from the tales of strange sights and doleful lamentations told concerning it. As Ichabod approached this fearful tree, he began to whistle; he thought his whistle was answered–it was but a blast sweeping sharply through the dry branches. As he approached a little nearer, he thought he saw something white, hanging in the midst of the tree–he paused and ceased whistling; but on looking more narrowly, perceived that it was a place where the tree had been scathed by lightning, and the white wood laid bare. Suddenly he heard a groan–his teeth chattered and his knees smote against the saddle: it was but the rubbing of one huge bough upon another, as they were swayed about by the breeze.

Upon further exploration of the text, it can be understood that the speaker or author meant for this passage to be seen in a darker light than most literature was portrayed during that time period.

The similarities of Romeo and Paris's individual stories that lead them to Juliet. Additionally, you are to discuss how Juliet f
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer and Explanation:

Romeo and Paris are similar only in their desire to marry J * and their admiration for her. However, the difference between these two characters is more striking than their similarities. That's because Romeo is a kind guy who wins J*'s heart that corresponds to his feelings for her. However, Paris is an arrogant and petty boy with manias of greatness that J * despises and disapproves of.

J*'s family wants her to marry Paris, since she has already secretly married Romeo. This makes J* pretend he died so he can get away with Romeo. However, Romeo learns of J*'s death as if it were something real and when he arrives at the crypt where her body is kept, he fights with Paris who was watching over her, and ends up killing him. Then Romeo, desolated by the girl's death, kills himself and J* upon waking up to see Romeo dead, she kills hierself too.
