American Romanticism

2. The story was particularly romantic because the points of imagination were drastically stated and the natures scenery was explained to a tee. The story promoted Rip Van Winkle, a common man, as doing great and tremendous things, this shows and yet proves this story is romantic. One example that proves this story being romantic is the fact that Rip Van Winkle had fallen asleep for ten years. This proves a great deal of imagination because other wise couldn't be done without it. The second example of this stories romanticism is the detail of nature. The way they celebrate it and explain it in so detail would explain romanticism.

3.I think the poem is talking about being one with nature as we all come to a time in our life when we die. Part of this poem explains that when we die we are all the same and just as good as the highest power of ruling. The poem explains a lot of death and nature. This poem says that you shouldn't be afraid to die because you must remember imagine a handful of people waiting buried in the ground for you to not be lonely. Basically the poem spends its words explaining that death is not lonely and to use your imagination to imagine the aspects and good things about dying. The poem is romantic in many ways. The poem begins off talking about nature and the gladness and beauty of it which is a characteristic of romanticism. The rest of the poem incorporates the characteristics of romanticism by showing imagination, celebration of nature and promotion of the common person.

4. This poem is a great example of romanticism because of the constant imagination. It has so many things going on that couldn't be done in real life. The point of the poem is to show a lot of imagination and to get your brain thinking about a lot of things . The images

that stand out to me are the human spiders spinning and spinning.

5.The picture shows the beauty of nature and the celebration of it, too. It shows how drastic it can be and how unpredictable nature is.

I chose this picture because it shows imagination, the woman with wings shows something that wouldn't be true in real life.
