177 Words1 Page

I didn’t really like this story very much at all. I like the idea of the archetype characters, but you were right when you said fi you didn’t read into it you wouldn’t get it all I prefer the parts of Sleepy hollow I seen better than this story. I think he must have written well to be buried in Sleepy Hallow because that’s where the best of the best go when their time is done if their lucky enough. I couldn’t get into to it and the silent film didn’t really make it easier it made more since when we talked it over. I don’t think I really ever like this story it had parts I understood, but there was a lot that I just couldn’t follow. I get why he chose the location, but it was hard to get unless you took the time to look up the picture or information
