POST #3
        The short stories of the legend of sleepy hollow(LSH) and the occurrence at the bridge (O)are very contrasting stories with very little comparison in my opinion. O is a very sober short story with completely real stuff and doesn't have any gloomy misterious stuff. The author was probably not a sober author but instead was writing about a very sober topic, forcing him to write soberly.
         It seems that LSH is kind of an airy topic which talks about ghosts, headless horsemen, and other gloomy topics. It's not a very realistic story as it doesn't really seem to confront the issues of reality. In contrast O talks about the issues of reality by the example of the execution. The man being hanged had made cowardly decisions and was facing the reality of consequences.
