like. The plays on the other hand showed simple scenery and the costumes gave some good detail to fit who the characters really were. The books had to really explain it where the plays could just show it. An example in the plays, the costume for Ichabod Crane was perfectly done and just how I imagined him to look. The play made up their own neat way for him to stretch with his legs really flexible. The book did not have nearly as much detail as the play.…

Davidson referenced Ichabod Crane, a schoolmaster in a 1820 novel, to show how similar today’s education is to the 19th century education. America has fallen behind in education, stuck on traditional ways of teaching while many countries around the world rise above United States’…

different from the original. That same year, Burton developed and directed the story Corpse Bride (2005), which originally was a folktale. Burton, who is no stranger to stop-motion and Claymation tasks Depp with a role very similar to that of Ichabod Crane. Victor Van Dort is a wispy man, who could fall over from a light breeze and every aspect of his character portrays this from his physical appearance to the usually strong timber of Depp's voice which takes on a light and squeakish…
