        <description><![CDATA[The frail Ichabod has a formidable foe in Brom Van Brunt, "the hero of the country round."  This man has Herculean strength, and "his advances were signals for rival candidates to retire."  Irving writes that

a stouter man than he [Crane] would have shrunk from the competition, and a wiser man would have despaired.

However, Ichabod decides to make his advances in "a quiet and gently-insinuating manner." Brom no longer "tied at the palings...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[While some controversy still exists over whether Irving is the creator of the basic storyline of "Sleepy Hollow," his purpose in writing the story in the manner that he did is original to him.
First, Irving was part of the Early American Literature movement which sought to establish America as a place with a culture and identity of it own away from European ideas and culture.  Irving is one of the first American authors to become popular...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The Hessian soldiers in the American Revolution fought on the side of the British.  These were mercenaries from Germany (one of the states of Germany is called Hesse and people from there are Hessians) who were hired by the British.  Because the British Isles are not very large, and because Britain needed a large military, they often needed to hire mercenaries.
An estimated 29,000 Germans were brought to America to fight in the Revolutionary...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[While the conflict is one of man against nature the ultimate conflict is between folklore and science. Icabod Crane as a teacher represents knowledge. He strives to dispel shadows of the uneducated. Fighting against a phantom, a character of legend and word of mouth; he is ultimate bested by a wraith of memory and tales told in the night when the light of knowledge sleeps. ]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Washington Irving's "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" is a delightful story because of the comic ability and clever satire of its author, Washington Irving. The names of the characters in this narrative are certainly humorous:  Ichabod and Brom Bones, Old Baltus Van Tassel, Hans Van Ripper, etc. The huge daughter of Van Tassel is humorously referred to as "the peerless daughter."
In addition, Irving employs figurative language. For...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[This part of the Headless Horseman legend occurs when Ichabod has spent the night dancing and impressing the ladies with his manners at the Van Tassel dance.  Brom knows that Ichabod is superstitious, and so the party guests start telling ghost stories which naturally leads to Headless Horseman tales. The narrator, at this point, brings up the legend of old Brouwer, someone who naysayed the idea of ghosts and was punished by the Headless...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Most people believe to a certainity that the headless horseman is Brom Bones.  That being the case, Brom knows very well the degree that Ichabod is scared of nearly everything.  His objective is to keep Ichabod away from Katrina Van Tassel, so he hopes to scare him very badly and make him stay away. 
It is speculated that Brom wanted to kill Ichabod, but I don't see anything in Brom's character to indicate that.  Undoubtedly, since Ichabod...]]></description>
