The Moral Values of RIP Van Winkle

The Moral Values of RIP Van Winkle

By : Washington Irving

The moral values that I have seen from 'Rip Van Winkle story is that time goes on and things keep changing whether a person is there or not. In the story, Rip takes a 21 year nap, but time does not stop the world keeps changing. Even though Rip is not aware of all of the changes going on, its still happen.
When he awakes, Rip finds that there are some changes that he likes. For example, when he was going to the place where there had been a school and asked the crowd that had gathered and somebody said that everything had changed and finally he found his daughter.
There were also some changes he didn't like, such as his dog getting older and his children growing up although Rip Van Winkle had been upset because he missed many important events. So the moral of the story is time does not wait the world will keep moving forward and changing. These things will happen even if someone is not ready for them!
Other than that moral the moral of the story is Do not to be lazy person. RIP van Winkle always filled his spare time to sleep. He did not used his spare time goodly. We have to take an advantages from our spare time.

Moral Value of The Magic Shop By H.G Wells

Gambar
The short story titled The magic shop by H.G Wells is an interesting fiction story. This story tells a lot of unique new things. Besides the interesting things I also found moral values like: 1. The intelligent parents will understand how to protect and give everything what their son need. 2. Always listen to exprert. They will tell You what can't be done and why then do it. 3. Every human being has a mind that can develop imagination even sometimes beyond reason. By: Febiana Kusumastuti/183211047
