Sleepy Hollow Chapter 6: The Terrible Race

On his way home from the party at Katrina's house, Ichabod was riding...

• in a rainstorm

• through a corn field on the Van Tassel farm

• on a moonlit road through a forest

• with several of his friends.

In order to give him courage to ride by Major Andre's tree, Ichabod...

• talked to his horse, Gunpowder

• kicked the horse into a sprinting run

• sang Psalms from the Bible

• none of these: Ichabod did not ride past the tree

Ichabod and Gunpowder rode over Major Andre's bridge.

• TRUE

• FALSE

When Gunpowder refused to move for Ichabod, what was he looking at? Why did he stand still?

• he was afraid of bridges

• he saw the Headless Horseman in the forrest

• he was an old and tired horse

• one of his legs was injured

When Ichabod and Gunpowder attempted to race away from the Horseman, what happened?

• the Headless Horseman matched their pace and speed

• the Horseman allowed them to take a large lead and caught up

• the Horseman reared up on his horse and let them flee

• The Headless Horseman said, "Your end is near!"

During the "Terrible Race" each of the following selections happened...(mark only correct answers)

• Gunpowder followed directions perfectly.

• The saddle broke and fell off.

• The Headless Horseman spoke to Gunpowder.

When he reached the Church bridge ahead of the Headless Horseman, Ichabod thought that he would be safe.

• True

• False

When he looked at the Horseman after crossing the bridge, Ichabod saw...

• the townspeople coming to help him

The readers of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow can safely assume that:

• The Horseman knocked Ichabod off of his horse with his thrown pumpkinhead.

• The Horseman is an actual real ghost.

• The Horseman wanted to steal Ichabod's expensive saddle.

• The Horseman does not exist.

Ichabod's last memory...
