Sleepy Hollow 1

He tells a story from his own childhood

He describes the setting

He tells us how Sleepy Hollow got its name

He tells us his own opinions

He thinks Ichabod is very intelligent and praises his intelligence

He respects Ichabod and describes him with admiration

He thinks Ichabod is ridiculous and makes fun of him

Not strict at all with any student

He does not treat students equally

Cruel to every student

Boring

"All this he called 'doing his duty by their parents'..."

"he never inflicted a chastisement without following by the assurance, so consolatory to the smarting urchin, that 'he would remember it and thank him for it...'"

"he administered justice with discrimination rather than severity"
