    I've written my response to "The Legend of Sleepy Hallow", would it be too much trouble for you to look it over and comment what you think of it so far? It's on my blog.

    Alright it has been a very long day, but as of now I have finished my blog. That is until you tell me what I need to fix...so looking forward to it. Just let me know what corrections I need to make on anything so that I can fix it and get a good grade. Thanks. And tbh I am so tired when it asks me if I'm a robot I'm kinda having trouble figuring out what some of it says.

      How is the Southern Gothic movement a response to literary movements that have preceded it:
      1. How is it similar to these movements?
      2. How is it different than these movements?
      3. How did they influence it (think about G. Rom, Rom...even Puritanism) remember time periods aren't created in a vaccum.

      ...as well as a manipulation of Romantic literary conventions?
      1. What are the three basic tenets of Rom?
      2. What are the three basic tenets of G. Rom?
      3. How do these tenets relate to Southern G. Rom (look at your notes)?

      Hope this helps! :)
