Megan Richardson’s Rip Van Winkle

{summary}

Rip Van Winkle was an irresponsible but like-able little Dutch man. He slept through the entire Revolutionary War, missed the death of his wife and his dog. I think if Rip was more responsible his wife wouldn’t have nagged on him so much and quite possibly he may have not slipped into a stress induced coma that lasted twenty years.  All in all Rip was a nice guy but missed a huge part of his life and was saddend by it all because of his irresponsibility.  On page 163, seventh paragraph it says, “ Rip’s heart died away at hearing of these sad changes in his home and friends, and finding himself thus alone in the world - every answer puzzeled him too by treating of such enormous lapses of time and of matters which he could not understand.”
