Questiоn 3 – Literаry Critique: Wаshingtоn Irving’s “Rip Vаn Winkle” Chоose one of the following prompts to respond to. Your answer should draw on your reading of "Rip Van Winkle," your understanding of its historical context, and the assigned critical materials (such as the Beidler article or the documentary). Option A – Understanding (Contextual Interpretation):What does "Rip Van Winkle" reveal about how Americans viewed the Revolutionary War and its aftermath? How is Rip’s long sleep symbolic of a larger cultural or historical change? Option B – Analyzing (Literary Critique):Dr. Beidler called "Rip Van Winkle" “America’s fairy tale.” What features of the story make it feel like a fairy tale—and what deeper messages does it carry about American values, identity, or escapism? Support your analysis with examples. Option C – Creating (Reimagined Critique):Retell a key moment from "Rip Van Winkle" through the eyes of another character (such as Dame Van Winkle or one of the villagers). How might their version of the story challenge or complicate Rip’s perspective? Use creative writing to explore a new angle.
