Ichabod Crane(Character Sketch)

Ichabod Crane was a lonely teacher in a small town called Sleepy Hollow, he was a man of many different traits, and skills. He’s a scrawny but tall man with exceedingly long arms that hanged miles out of his sleeves, his legs carried his big troll sized feet. His narrow neck supported a small head, that had two bright green eyes and long nose attached to it. His class full of students were not treated harshly, but weren’t spoiled either, he used justice to rule out punishment. He taught the children every day. And when school hours were over he met up with the older kids to eat their goods and sweets ; “on holiday afternoons would convoy some of the smaller ones home, who happened to have pretty sisters, or good housewives for mothers, noted for the comforts of the cupboard.” “The revenue arising from his school was small, and would have been scarcely sufficient to furnish him with daily bread, for he was a huge feeder, and, though lank, had the dilating powers of an anaconda.” But to help out his maintenance, he sometimes assisted the farmers on easier labor days. He also liked singing psalmody in front of the church. He enjoyed doing lots of activities around the town, and he always found a way to help and comfort himself, in the town of Sleepy Hollow.
