book review 2-2

I read Rip Van Winkle written by Washington Irving. I learned about him at the American literature class.

This story’s main character is Rip Van Winkle. He lives in a foot of the Catskill Mountain. He is very friendly, and do work for his friends not for him. His wife is very harsh with him, but he is patient and obedient. One day he climbed the Catskill Mountain, and hunt animals. When it got dark, he decided to go home, on the way to going his home, he saw a strange man climbing the mountain. He helped him. Rip and the strange man went to the amphitheater, and there were many strange men. They played ninepin there and drank very strong alcohol. Rip got sleepy and take a nap, next morning he got up, and he become to be an old man. He looked for his house, but there was nothing any more. Some of his friends and his wife were dead, but his children were alive, and he would live with his daughter and her family happily.
