Book Review 1-9

"Rip Van Winkle"
Written by Weshington Irving


There is a no-hoper man named Rip Van Winkle. He lives in a small village which located at the foot of a huge, mystery-shrouded mountain. Rip has wife and children, but he doesn’t like being with them so much because his wife always complains about his laziness. The other day, Rip went up to the mountain and took a nap until the sun is in the west. As Rip wake up and began to go down the mountain, he found a strange old man near him. The old man with a huge bag is walking very slowly and looks tired. Rip thought he should help him with his bag, but every time Rip talks to the old man, he is entirely-ignored by him. And then the old man passed the bag to Rip with saying a words and the two went toward to the small village.
I chose this book because I like its cover art. The story was fine too, but it wasn’t very interesting at all.
