LITR220

LITR220 Order Description Part 1 (1 Page long): We see in “Rip Van Winkle” themes of generational change, continuity, preservation, and tradition. Written nearly half a century after the American Revolution, in "Rip Van Winkle" Irving is making a statement about the Revolution. What is it Washington Irving is trying to convey to the reader through his story? Do any of the surrounding characters have roles or represent themes related to the Revolution? If so, what might those be? Part 2 (1 page long): James Fenimore Cooper challenges the reader to consider who really owns the land and its natural resources. What evidence is in there of natural law versus human law? What can we say about individual freedoms versus the ideal of equal opportunities protected by the institutions of a justly ordered society? Express these juxtapositions using lines from the reading as support. And then please add your opinion of ownership and conservation, law, and freedoms. 193 Week Eight: Reason and Revolution Part III / The Romantic, the Real and the American Indian Perkins-Perkins: Selections from American Literature Washington Irving Author Bio © The McGraw-Hill Companies, 2003 Washington Irving (1783–1859) RWith Cooper, Poe, and Hawthorne, Irving has survived all other American writers of fiction before PLACE THIS ORDER OR A SIMILAR ORDER WITH US TODAY AND GET AN AMAZING DISCOUNT :)
