Need help with my writing homework on Order and Chaos by Washington Irving. Write a 2250 word paper answering; It is orderly because that is what keeps people’s lives moving, is order.

The story introduces the reader the traveling schoolmaster, Ichabod Crane, whose very organized life involves spending a week at a time at the homes of the local students, where he is well-fed, sheltered, and has the opportunity to meet and perhaps marry a young woman who might inherit some means greater than his own. Ichabod’s organization is symbolic of the organization within which he lives. It is a very organized, chaotic free life that Ichabod leads.

As the story departs from the historic and begins to delve into the mystery of the urban myths, like that of the story of “Douffe Martling (65),” then the organization and sense of sleepy little town calm begin to dissipate.

“But all these were nothing to the tales of ghosts and ap­paritions that succeeded. The neighborhood is rich in legend­ary treasures of the kind. Local tales and superstitions thrive best in these sheltered long-settled retreats but are trampled underfoot by the shifting throng that forms the population of most of our country places. Besides, there is no encourage­ment for ghosts in most of our villages, for they have scarcely had time to finish their first nap, and turn themselves in their graves, before their surviving friends have traveled away from the neighborhood. so that when they turn out at night to walk their rounds, they have no acquaintance left to call upon. This is perhaps the reason why we so seldom hear of ghosts except in our long-established Dutch communities (66).”

It is only when we take ourselves out of the mundane daily life routines that it becomes really exciting because then we can inject our environments with a sense of intrigue and suspense. Even if the characters are created by our social imagination, intended to create entertainment value, they are necessary to break the mundane daily routine. So we create ghosts and goblins, and those things that are&nbsp.represented in our lives of that which we cannot explain, like heaven and hell.&nbsp.&nbsp.
