Oh the Romanticism
Part 2
"From an opening between the trees he (Rip) could overlook all the lower country for many a mile over rich woodland" This is romantic because it is explaining such beautiful land and you can imagine the Picturesque beauty in it, it makes you feel good inside. "Young Van Winkle once- old Van Winkle now!" They are stretching the imagination hear and now Rip has his beautiful daughter his haggard wife is gone and he can be lazy like he wants to. In my opinion the whole point of this story was to show how Rip went from un happy to on top of the world to give people hope in this world today and especially then. This would drive a realism believer up the wall. This tall tale is an imagination thing and nothing is real about it. The Realist didn't like this day dreamy kind of world, they wanted to express the real things that were going on like war, and death, and violence. Pretty much all the bad aspects of life that were real and going on at the time.
PART 3
“Thanatopsis”
This whole poem is a lovey dovey, but it also has its bitter points or its sad points. He's being very expressive and going into detail about the pain and love of it all. Theirs a lot of analogies but I was really confused by the whole poem; the way hes uses his words or what he's trying to say is confusing. I think though, he is trying to give hope to people even though life is so hard or devastating at that time. Romanticism is like finding the good out of a bad or scary thing. Like death for instance, death is a really scary thing, and with all these different thoughts and views on who’s going where and who’s better than whom. We all are one in the end and no ones better or less than any one else.
PART4
"The Ropewalk"
I believe the point to this poem is you can make anything in life fun or miserable. Always look to the brighter side of any and every situation in life, because you can find pleasure in anything, and don't ever forget you have an imagination. Theirs a lot of images that stand out to me in this poem. For instance, two fair maidens in a swing. I find my self thinking of girls a lot in work or anything else for that matter. This is a good example of romanticism because it's it all about the imagination and the unreal. like, When he was talking about the two maidens swinging over his head; their definitely wasn't maidens flying over his head, but wouldn't be cool if their was. That the point to all this, escape from reality. “While within this brain of mine cobwebs brighter and more fine by the busy wheel are spun.” He is talking about his imagination being more important than the task at hand. Don’t waste times on menial tasks of life but the things you like or you grow upon.
PART 5
THE PAINTING
This painting reminds me of romanticism because its so picturesque and beautiful. Like Mr. Sigmund explained to me earlier, in the time of all this romanticism righting life was hard. A common man would walk down the street and come by people’s feces and dead horses. That wasn’t the greatest sight to see. So, having a picture like this made people feel good, it gave them some hope of one day them being in a beautiful place like that.
