The Medium Is The Message

 I read the story and watched the video & there was many comparisons between the two. I was actually very surprised when I first started watching the video because it made much more sense. Even though I couldn't hear it I tried my best, just by watching it gave me a better understanding of what the story was about. I actually have a lot of comparing.
 The setting of Sleepy Hollow was lonely & spooky. Showed a shadow of hessian the non-headed man. The description of Ichabod was tall, exceedingly lank, narrow shoulders, long arms & legs, hands dangled out of sleeves, feet of shovels, huge ears, large eyes, & a long nose Same as in the movie!
He Would walk by houses and smell the food with delight. He worked as a school teacher at his own school house was lonely around and the saying of "Spare the rod and spoil the child" was on the board. He whipped children except the larger boys, he would go to there house and eat so much and asked for more & more. The mothers would tell him scary stories of goblins & ghost& the Hessian. He went walking home scared of every obstacle & shadows. Next day he was walking to go see Katrina and saw fruits and vegetables and he would see ducks, pigs and every animal as food, he would also think about it. He tried to conquer Katrina's love by teaching her how to sing, Brom Bones was angry. At school a kid gave him an invitation to the party. He got ready as ever thought about marrying Katrina & her wealth. He entered and many women gazed at him but he payed much more attention to the food. Brom wanted to dance with Katrina but Ichabod interfered and Brom was filled with rage. They gathered up to hear stories & Brom talked about his meeting with Hessian, that he beat him when he entered the church and Hessian vanished. Soon everyone left and went home on his horse on the way he was horrified. In a tree he saw a hanged man but in a snap vanished. Then he saw a shadow and it was Hessian he slowly tried going away and singing psalm tunes to get distracted but he kept following but as soon as he saw Hessian with a pumpkin head in his hand he on his horse tried escaping, but Hessian was too fast and caught up to Ichabod and he threw his pumpkin head at Ichabod and he fell off his horse, his hat fell, and he ran away. Brom & Katrina ended up getting married.
So I jotted all this down because it was in the story & the way it was shown in  the video (:
