The American Dream in "Rip Van Winkle"

"I was confused by the atmosphere of carnival with that pleasant humor, depression and gentle atmosphere ..." (Long Fellow 310) This response to Washington Irving's short story "Rip Van Winkle" as a living person of American culture It can be used to describe the contemporary American America (Hoffman 630). The most important thing is that it has become a legend of the American for generations ("Origin of democracy and writer of revolution", 1776-1820). Heart crane explains the story of "Lip Van Winkle" as a guardian angel remembers Muse and past trips. In the Webster dictionary, "American dream" is defined as the American citizen's ideal for happiness and a successful life for all people. Washington Irving's short story "Rip Van Winkle" shows America's dream paradigm through its beautiful land, opportunity, politics and efforts to independence.

Which of these stories inspires the advertisement of American dreams and is consistent with the Great Depression?

The last few lines of the story explain the freedom of the United States, ie order and intentional dominance, and even if the wild liberties of Rip are trained and not used, for entertainment purposes in the new social order Lend. Everyone seems to have a better future. If Irving has a "dream", the freedom of the rest of the generation and the better world seems like a transition of Rip from ignorant subjects to knowledgeable citizens.

Why did American dreams escape from the transition from ignorance to knowledge in "Rip Van Winkle", "Young Goodman Brown" and "The Tell-Tale Heart"? What kind of dreams are we talking about?

He heard his name come out and saw a man in an old Dutch costume; he brought a small bucket to the mountain and needed help. A man and a wolf entered the dent and Rip found a sharp sound source: a group of nine needle luxury dresses, a quiet, bearded man
