The title of the story tells us that we are reading a “Legend.” How does the narrator establish Sleepy Hollow as a legendary place? What role does the theme of legend and gossip play in the passage? please answer this by tomorrow

Answer:

1. The descriptions, given of Sleepy Hollow establish it as a legendary place.  The stories of ghosts, the traditional beliefs, the ambiance of the town which was described as drowsy and dreamy all lend to its legendary attributes. The story of the Hessian trooper was also a legend believed by the occupants of the territory.

2. The theme of legend or traditional stories permeates the book as the old men(as seen during the party thrown by Hans Van Tassel), young women and housewives, as well as the teacher, Ichabod, delighted in stories of ghosts and the Hessian trooper. Gossip also played a role in the story as there were many formulated speculations of the whereabouts of Ichabod when he disappeared. It was also rumored that the wealthy farmer refused to give his daughter to the teacher in marriage.

Explanation:

A legend is a traditional story believed by the occupants of a territory to be part of their history but which cannot be vouched for by concrete evidence. Legends abound in the story titled the 'Legend of the Sleepy Hollow'. The apparition of a rider on a horseback without a head which resembled a Hessian trooper was one. The ambiance of the village which was described as drowsy and dreamy also had a legendary feel.

The many other stories of legends told and believed by the villagers such as the woman in white that haunted the glen at Raven Rock,  the mournings heard at the great tree, the funeral trains all contributed to the legends which characterized the story.

Which excerpt from I Never Had It Made best uses descriptive details to paint a picture for readers? In August 1945, at Comiskey Park in Chicago, I was approached by Clyde Sukeforth, the Dodger scout. He told me that the Brown Dodgers were looking for top ballplayers, that Branch Rickey had heard about me. Mr. Rickey wanted to know all about Rachel. I told him our hopes and plans. "You know you have a girl," he said heartily. "When we get through today, you may want to call her up." Because of his nature and passion for justice, he [Rickey] had to do what he was doing. He continued. His rumbling voice, the theatrical gestures, were gone. He was speaking from a deep, quiet strength. "I think I can play the game, Mr. Rickey," I said. The next few minutes were tough. Branch Rickey had to make absolutely sure that I knew what I would face.

Read the excerpt from The Story of My Life by Helen Keller.

We walked down the path to the well-house, attracted by the fragrance of the honeysuckle with which it was covered. Some one was drawing water and my teacher placed my hand under the spout. As the cool stream gushed over one hand she spelled into the other the word water, first slowly, then rapidly. I stood still, my whole attention fixed upon the motions of her fingers. Suddenly I felt a misty consciousness as of something forgotten—a thrill of returning thought; and somehow the mystery of language was revealed to me. I knew then that "w-a-t-e-r" meant the wonderful cool something that was flowing over my hand. That living word awakened my soul, gave it light, hope, joy, set it free! There were barriers still, it is true, but barriers that could in time be swept away.
