Rip Van winkle was a very popular man. He was known as the town's most friendliest person. He was so popular that when he walked down the street all the kids would come and play with him, dogs wouldn't bark at him and the town wives even gossiped with him. But Rip was a little to popular he was so popular that he forgot about his own family.
He was a married man who was never took care of his family problems. because he was more worried about the village people more than his own family. So then all of a sudden rip went into the woods to play his favorite sport squirrel shooting. I feel that no man could be that famous in a small village all and never take care of his family. It seems to me like he was so big on making the town happy that he really didn't care that he had a family at all!!
And just as long as he was okay with the town people that everything was okay. But once he so called had been sleep for 20 years and went the same people that made him feel big headed were either dead or didn't recognize him. And once he returned to that village he was wishing that he could just go back home to his family but their were gone and his own dog didn't recognize him. But once the old lady that used to stay next door to him realized who he was she started talking to him asking him what happened and why was he gone for so long."Sure enough! it is Rip Van Winkle--it is himself! Welcome home again, old neighbor--Why, where have you been these twenty long years?"
The part i found romantic was about how he slept for twenty years. How does someone sleep that long? You can't i just can't make myself believe that just because he drunk some liquor that it put him to sleep that long. but maybe it was the liquor that put him to sleep i mean he didnt know the men he was playing cards with so it may have been the liquor that did it.
EXAMPLES:Where have you been these twenty long years?
And the picture showing him waking up from his twenty year long sleep.
