“The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” was about a village named Sleepy Hollow and it was to be a haunted town and a man named Ichabod Crane came to that place and met Katrina. This fellow was to be in love with Katrina, but he only wanted her family's money. In the story there was another guy named Brom Bones and he was also in love with Katrina and always scared off any man who would talk to her. Ichabod later disappeared, people believed he was taken by the headless horseman, and that left Brom to be able to marry Katrina.
In “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” Washington Irving kind of wrote the story in a very funny form, but also in the story there is not a good view of humanity. Indeed humanity does not have to be viewed as pink roses, because the truth is that individuals are not nice and they are all different. People can be very bad and others can be just wonderful, but no matter how good someone is, everyone can commit stupid things. In this world people never stop learning new things about other people or getting to know them. …show more content…
In order for Katrina to ensure Brom’s affection, she utilizes Ichabod to pursue her purpose. This selfish act caused Ichabod’s disappearance; “Ichabod was horror-struck on perceiving that he was headless” because he had encountered the headless horseman and went missing. Also in the story the townspeople do not care about Ichabod because they are not interested in finding him. If Ichabod had owned something or if someone actually needed him for something they would care and would be determined to find him. Another person that was selfish is Van Ripper, he wanted Ichabod to be found, “for a moment the terror of Hans Van Ripper's wrath passed across his mind,—for it was his Sunday saddle”and he attempted to find Ichabod but only because he wanted his saddle
