long nose too, and long arms
that lookedlike sticks.
Inmy opinionIchaboddoesn’tseem
tall, as he is described in the book.
He does not have a long neck or
arms or even an aquiline nose. In
conclusion,Ithinkhe looksdifferent
from the way he is described in the
book.
What is Ichabod like?
Ichabod is gullible and has a
wild imagination: he adores
reading and listening to ghost
stories, even though they
continue toterrifyhim.
He is portrayed as a paranoid man,
reallyaffectedbyhispast,thatloves
his job and tries to improve the
justice system. We canalso see that
he doesn’t really like ghost stories
from the way he reacted when he
was told about the legend of the
headlesshorse man

hearty,broad-shoulderedman
with curly black hair. He is
