1.- How did
Tarry Town get its name? How did Sleepy Hollow get its name?
In a small secluded village with its harbor,
which some give the name of Greensburg, but which most people call Tarry Town.
It got this name, for all we know, in ancient times, they gave it the good
women of a neighboring hamlet, it was in the taverns of Tarry Town where their
husbands were delayed too long on market days.
Sleepy Hollow this place, since ancient times,
settled here since the early Dutch settlers, known as Sleepy Hollow, no doubt,
by the peculiar characteristics of the descendants of the Dutch settlers,
people peaceful, serene, perhaps indolent. Also from old lads are called the
place, in the neighboring villages, the boys called him sleepy valley, being
charming.
5. What
is Ichabod Crane’s job? What other job did he do to earn a little more money?
He was an instructor of children in the
village, he had his school. He was also the voice teacher of the people and
good and very shiny coins dropped him properly to teach to sing praises to the
young neighbors.
9. What
subject does Ichabod like to read about? What has increased his interest in
this subject?
He liked good reads such as "History of
New England Witchcraft," a subject, of witchcraft, which, incidentally,
firmly and fervently believed the teacher. It was, indeed, a man both shrewd
and credulous, even simpleton in these matters. He was interested in reading
this because you like about how wonderful their desire to understand things
about the supernatural, were as extraordinary as its ability to digest as had
heard it all, something that became stronger at it after a certain time stay in
Sleepy Hollow.
13. What two things make it
difficult for Ichabod to fulfill his goal of marrying Katrina?
The first thing is that Ichabod had another guy
a opponent. His name is Abraham Van Brut or Brum. Abraham was a muscular guy,
and handsome. He had a right size for any girl fall in love with him.
The other thing is that it would have to fight
against a man much younger and stronger than him, a man so fiery and thrown
like Achilles, a man, in short, never cede a step in the dispute trance of love
a woman.
17.- Ichabod takes great care in
his appearance as he gets ready for the party at Baltus Van Tassel’s. What is
funny about the horse he is riding as he starts off like a “knight in quest of
adventures”?
The animal he bestrode was a
broken-down plough-horse, that had outlived almost everything but his
viciousness. He was gaunt and shagged, with a ewe neck and a head like a
hammer; his rusty mane and tail were tangled and knotted with burs; one eye had
lost its pupil, and was glaring and spectral; but the other had the gleam of a
genuine devil in it.
21.- What story does Brom Bones
tell about his encounter with the headless horseman?
He made light of the galloping
Hessian as an arrant jockey. He affirmed that, on returning one night from the
neighboring village of Sing Sing, he had been overtaken by this midnight
trooper; that he had offered to race with him for a bowl of punch, and should
have won too, for Daredevil beat the goblin horse all hollow, but, just as they
came to the church-bridge, the Hessian bolted, and vanished in a flash of fire.
25. When Ichabod sees
something huge and black by the brook, why doesn’t he turn and run away? What
two things does he do instead?
First look at a tree that had branches big
beautiful and very rounded leaves, looked like it was afraid to see this big
tree. Second or then looked a shadow and immediately took it back to its height
the headless horseman, galloping in a mad race, blowing of the stones the
hooves of their horses, leaning over the neck of his nag, Ichabod felt his suit
hung in the air, he was pleased because he had the feeling I could leave behind
the ghost and is there when you change your course.
29. What four traces of the
chase do the searchers find the next day?
They found his traces, and to one side of the
road, although almost completely buried in the sandy soil and somewhat
shattered, also found the old saddle Dutch. Tracks led to the bridge, from
there they saw floating the unfortunate Ichabod hat in the part where the
waters were deep black, not far away, near the shore, they saw also a pumpkin
game. They also found two shirts and half broken, a couple of bow ties, two
pairs, or perhaps only one, of socks, a pair of old corduroy trousers, a knife
moldy, and a book of psalms.
