American Romanticism

The beginning of the story is very descriptive on the Catskill Mountains. Nature plays a role in the story as romanticism because as his wife is nagging him he turns to the land as an escape of freedom. He admires the beauty of it and has no worries.

Another one could be when rip van winkle is walking in the mountains he sees a group of men having a party so he approaches and gets drunk and sleeps for 20 years.

I think the Thanatopsis poem is saying that you shouldn't be afraid of dying. It gives good detail to try and comfort who are afraid. I like when it say that even the kings and the most powerful people will go to the same place because then people were always reluctant on power and thinking because they had money they would go somewhere special. The romantic part of this poem is that it's talking about nature throughout the entire poem with imagination.

I think that the point of this poem is that someone is thinking about how many ways you van use a rope and what to use it for. The beginning of the poem is interesting because of the way the building is being described inside. I think that this poem is romantic because their is someone that is in a place they don't want to be and their daydreaming a million ways to use a rope outside of where they are.

The painting could be considered Romanticism because of the way they have the dark colors mixed in with other colors and that shows the emotion.
