Write an argumentative essay supporting the opinion that the film is either: a) a successful adaptation of the story overall b) an unsatisfactory adaptation of Irving s story overall. Make sure to follow the structure of an argumentative essay and do not hesitate to qualify your thought (it is always acceptable to make concessions to the opposite viewpoint so as better to support your own). 2- Creative writing: Read Rip Van Winkle and the American Declaration of Independence (see online PDF for the text).
