Romaticism

The way romanticism is described, the story of Rip Van Winkle gives you good descriptions were you can clearly imagine what is being said. I guess almost like if you were actually in the story your self.





When the story first opens it gets very descriptive on the Catskill Mountains. Nature plays a role in the story as romanticism because as his wife is nagging him he turns to the land as an escape of freedom. He admires the beauty of it and can be their as long as he wants with out any worries.

Another example could be when rip van winkle is walking in the mountains he sees a group of men having a party so he approaches and gets drunk and sleeps for 20 years. When he awakes and goes into town he finds out that his wife had died and he can live with his daughter.



In my opinion the poem Thanatopsis is saying that you shouldn't be afraid of dying. The poet gives good detail to try and comfort those who are afraid by trying to kind of connect with the reader. I like when it say that even the kings and the most powerful will go to the same place because I guess in those day people were always reluctant on power and thinking that because they had money they might go to a special place. This particular part just caught my attention..

I think that the romantic part of this poem is that it talks about nature throughout the entire poem with an immense imagination.





I think that the point of this poem is that someone is thinking about ways a rope can be used for. The beginning of the poem stands out to me because of the way the building is being described inside it just makes me wonder wow he really doesn't want to be their. I think that so far to me this poem has really mad it clear as to why it is romantic because theirs someone in a place they don't want to be and their daydreaming of like a million ways to use a rope OUTDOORS..


This painting can be considered Romanticism because of the scenery. It displays a beautiful horizon of vast colors in the painting.
