The thoughts and feelings of old Rip Van Winkle

All together, this was a great story. I really enjoyed the whole plot of the story, the time travel and such. Rip Van Winkle was loved by most and and despised by one, his wife. Mrs. Van Winkle was a crude stay at home mom, or that’s the way Rip saw her. I'm sure she was a great wife; Rip was just really lazy and never kept his farm in good shape.

Rip had a dog named Wolf, and old Rip and wolf did everything together. One afternoon, Rip and Wolf went squirrel hunting in the mountains (That was Rips favorite thing to do). After a while of hunting, the two of them took a break on a log. Their, Rip feel a asleep and awoke later that night to old man screaming up the mountain side, toward him. Rip didn't recognize the man as one of his town friends but being a caring person he descended to the man and aided him. The man had a keg of liquor. The two men carried it up the mountain to a small amphitheater.

These men in the amphitheater in my mind looked like midgets with military uniforms drinking boos and playing ninepins. I believe, that afternoon, Rip ate some mushrooms out of his neighbors cow fields and fell into a coma for twenty years. Well, the story goes he woke up and it was twenty years later. His wife was dead, his dog didn't know him and his daughter was grown with a baby. Who, he lived the wrest of his old life with. I LOVE TALL TAILS, don't you?
