Headless Horseman
Brom Bones marries Katrina because Ichabod is no longer even there to compete for her after the Headless Horseman incident. After Ichabod’s disappearance Brom charms Katrina with his various skills and large muscles, this convincing Katrina to marry him. I believe that after Ichabod backed own from fighting Brom, Brom decided that he should mentally fight him. What I mean by mentally fighting him is scaring him and embarrassing him in front of Katrina. After the party Ichabod is going home after being dumped he is really sad, out of nowhere he sees the “Headless Horseman” who throws his “head” at him and after that it is unclear. I think that the so called “Headless Horseman” really is just Brom dressed up to make sure that Ichabod isn’t a

    Ichabod Character Analysis

    Although Ichabod Crane and Brome Bones show similar interests (i.e. Katrina) they are vastly different characters, both in design and portrayal. Ichabod is introduced as a ‘tall, but exceedingly lank’ person with ‘narrow shoulders.’ Irving goes even as far as to compare Ichabod to an ‘escaped scarecrow’. Brom Bones, on the other hand is not only described, but introduced as a ‘burly, roaring young man’. But there’s more to these characters despite their appearances. Ichabod was known for his singing and talent as a tutor, while Brom is best known for his herculean feats of strength.…

    Little No Horse Syncretism

    In the novel The Last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse by Louise Erdrich, the main character, Agnes, goes through many transformations throughout the course of the novel, be that spiritual, gendered, or in the basis of identity. Agnes’s identity, both as a female and as Father Damien, is an imperfect example of syncretism, as they appear at times as two distinct individuals, and at others, the individual identities are indiscernible. Syncretism is a term related to the concept of hybridity, and is defined as “…the fusion of two distinct traditions to produce a new and distinctive whole (Ashcroft).” In this case, syncretism is being examined in the context of the combination of Agnes’s gendered identities to form one new person, distinct…

    He starts realizing how he still has the ability to stand up for himself no matter how much Nurse Ratched works to put the patients down and instill fear in them. Throughout the book, one can observe how he changes from a weak patient pretending to be disabled to an independent man who escapes the facility. This development occurs because McMurphy has influenced him. The recurring theme that oppressed patients can stand up for themselves, with someone to encourage and set an example for them is seen with the changes in Bromden. In other words, Bromden becoming less scared and able to stand up for himself is all due to the influence of…

    The Invisible Man

    Throughout life there are moments where an individual must conform to society and the people around them in order to be accepted, however it is the individual actions and how the individual chooses to conform that creates their unique identity and place within that society. Ralph Ellison published the novel that follows a sense of outward conformity and obedience to an established order while at the same time invoking an inward questioning of the roles an individual plays within such an order. The main character is forced to conform to the cliché laws and expectations of the laws and expectations of the society that he lives in, in order to survive and function within them, while he privately goes against these societies in order to define themselves as individuals and uncover the truth about those societies that they live in. The outward conformity and inward questioning constantly clash, causing the character to doubt and confuse with what he knows is the truth and what he wants to believe is the truth.…

    A Rebel And His Horse Analysis

    The horse brings a type of tranquility and it brings you back in history to the times when only men of power rode into battle on horseback. The AK-47 being held high into the air is a very significant part of this picture as it tells that the rebel is ready and willing to fight. Without the gun, one would think that the man was just riding the horse into town to get some supplies or to visit family. The contrast of the dark brown horse and the man in camouflage in the middle of almost gray and light green trees shows the battered area in another light. The trees don’t look to be healthy due to all of the traffic and fighting like they are also rebelling. Seeing the man upon his horse reminds me of a scene in the middle ages of a leader about to ride into battle. The rebel is looking back one last time before riding towards the sounds of battle with his head held high and his sword (gun) ready. The emphasis of the man wielding the weapon of choice by so many around the world that are in rebellion shows the serious nature of the people choosing to fight for their freedom and rights even if it’s the choice between life and…

    The Little Hunchback From The One Thousand And One Nights

    - In the story, "The Little Hunchback" from The One Thousand and One Nights, the hunchback is indicative of social class and acceptance of abnormality in society. The story does not give specific details to how the hunchback is how he is, but in my own understanding, it is a kind of deformity that was given through birth. Through his appearance, I can comprehend that deformity is accepted in society, just like how the religions are explicitly stated for each main character. This aspect demonstrates an amenable society within this period of time, where people with abnormalities and religious differences receive equal recognition and social relevance. Nevertheless, the alteration of appearance does not define the human…

    A Man Without Words

    In her book, “A Man Without Words,” Susan Schaller describes how the eighteenth century French philosophers continually exercised speculation as to how much of human nature was "given" and native, and how much was dependent on language and culture. She encountered Ildefonso, a Mexican Indian who lived in the most unique form of isolation, who was born deaf, and had never been taught even the most basic language. She set herself the challenge to make contact with this man, and introduce him to language. Ildefonso not only lacked any language but lacked any idea of language: he had no conception, at first, of what Schaller was trying to do, yet Ildefonso had a yearning to communicate and to be more than just himself in isolation. Inclusively, this book vividly conveys the challenges, frustrations, and the exhilaration of opening the mind of a congenitally deaf person to the concept of language.…

    Horses of the night

    Escaping from the reality, Margaret Laurence utilizes the short story “Horses of the Night” to establish the struggle Chris had between his imagination and the reality of his own world. The battles he had among himself demonstrates that sometimes life creates an illusion to allow people to explore through the wrong ideas. Vanessa’s perspective of Chris going through his life in Manawaka, and living in Shallow Creek had a big differentiality. He remodeled his real life situations into his dreams, which examines that people’s purposes in life are more difficult when they have their eyes open. Facing the real world is crucial. That is why Chris chose to live through his fantasy rather than getting treated by his reality.…

    Compare and Contrast; Ichabod Crane and Abraham Van Brunt

    Abraham Van Brunt, also known as Brom Brunt, was tall and extremely hansom with dark curly hair. He was described as muscular and strong, thus he was given the nick name Brom Bones by the townspeople. Brom was known for his rambunctious personality, his love for pranks, and his admirable great skills on horseback. He was known as the “village hero.” He wanted Katrina’s hand in marriage, not because he loved her, but because he was determined to inherit the wealth of her father Baltus. Brom managed to scare off all the other suitors of Katrina with violence and physical confrontation. He had no competition! That is until Ichabod Crane came along.…
