My Book Review

The title of book is Rip Van Winkle and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. This book was written by Washington Irving and the number of pages is 28. There were two different stories in this book. The stories in this book were about people and about ghosts. There were a lot of questions in the stories, but not many answers. I choose one story was very interesting and the title was Rip Van Winkle. Firstly, this story was about a man lived in small town and his name was Rip Van Winkle. He was a farmer, but he didn't like working. The people in the town liked him because he liked talking to the men in the bar. He liked helping them. He had a wife and two children. A daughter and a son. His wife was always angry with him because he didn't work and he talked with his friends.

One day, he went to the mountain with his dog and he stayed there. At the mountain, he met an old man. The old man had a lot of white hair, a long beard and had a big barrel with him. This man was very strange. Rip Van Winkle was a kind man and he helped the old man. After that, the man and Rip came to a big building in the mountain. There were a lot of men there, but Rip didn't know them. They had very long, white beard and they were old. The old men had a drink from barrel. Then Rip had a drink from it.

At night, Rip was sleeping in the mountain. Tomorrow morning, he woke from his sleep but he was surprised because the old men and his dog were not there. He searched for them in the mountain, but he could not met them. Slowly, he walked down the mountain to his town. He was unhappy because he didn't have his dog. He was afraid because he didn't want to see his wife. He didn't know the people in his town and the houses weren't the same. After that, he met his daughter. Rip lived with his daughter and her family. Rip's son lived with them too. His wife had passed away. Rip didn't work because he was old. He played with his children and he talked to the men in the hotel. Some men were his old friends. His daughter told him about his disappearing for twenty years. So, he realized the drink was bad because Rip became an old man and slept in the mountain. He thought that he was sleeping only a night, but he lived there for very long time..Thank you.....
