Read the excerpt from “Rip Van Winkle” by Washington Irving. Having nothing to do at home, and being arrived at that happy age when a man can do nothing with impunity, he took his place once more on the bench, at the inn door, and was reverenced as one of the patriarchs of the village, and a chronicle of the old times “before the war.” It was some time before he could get into the regular track of gossip, or could be made to comprehend the strange events that had taken place during his torpor. How that there had been a revolutionary war—that the country had thrown off the yoke of old England—and that, instead of being a subject of his majesty George the Third he was now a free citizen of the United States. Rip, in fact, was no politician; the changes of states and empires made but little impression on him. But there was one species of despotism under which he had long groaned, and that was—petticoat government. Happily, that was at an end; he had got his neck out of the yoke of matrimony, and could go in and out whenever he pleased, without dreading the tyranny of Dame Van Winkle. Whenever her name was mentioned, however, he shook his head, shrugged his shoulders, and cast up his eyes; which might pass either for an expression of resignation to his fate, or joy at his deliverance. How does this scene affect the text? It explains that just as America has gained freedom from the British, Rip has found freedom from his wife. It indicates that Rip’s experience in the mountains changed his attitude and behaviors for the better. It conveys the idea that Rip’s time away from his community has created distance between him and his friends. It provides important details about the causes and effects of the war and its impact on Rip’s community.

Answer:

It concludes the story positively, with both America and Rip achieving freedom.
