The Boar’s Head Tavern, East Cheap: B-
I think I would have enjoyed this more if I had read Shakespeare prior to this short story.

The Widow and her Son: B-
Shoutout moms

The Country Church: C-
Boring

The Legend of Sleepy Hallow: A-
Iconic story but some of it could have been cut down. I think I would have enjoyed an abridged version more.

Loving Heathcliff’s cold, uninviting demeanor. Byronic hero incoming?

A Royal Poet: A-
Very entertaining and now I want to visit Windsor castle.

The Art of Book Making: B+
Pretty good.

Main character is so stupid.

The Broken Heart: D-
We get it bro, you think women are weak. Please just get back to your quirky stories.

Rural life in England: C-
I like the quiet countryside too but I found this quite boring.

Girl, go work at McDonald’s this job is not for you!! My suspension of disbelief is being tested fr.

English Writers on America: C+
Kind of boring but I liked the dunking on England at the beginning of the essay. Also interesting to see no one took Irving’s heed of starting prejudices against England. Chewsday innit!

Rip Van Winkle
A+
Very funny and an interesting look at the revolutionary war from the common man perspective. Side note if I was Rip’s wife I would probably nag at him too. We have a family to feed why can’t you just tend to the crops? As long as you are not his wife, Rip is a very lovable and maybe even a relatable character.
