The Medium is the Message

Reading the story of "The Legend of the Sleepy Hollow" was harder to read in my opinion. I think that reading the story makes it a little harder to understand and be able to comprehend the vocabulary. However, watching the video helps us better understand the main points that I probably wouldn't have realized if I didn't have any other resources than reading the story. In my opinion I think that reading it definitely made me think more about what was really go on and i tried harder to be able to understand what the author meant when he chose his words.
