    The lines provided above are taken from the short story 'Rip Van Winkle' which is written by Washington Irving. This a story about a man who falls asleep in the mountains of Catskill and who wake up after a long 20 years.

    In the story me can see that Irving have repeated the words 'every' and 'change' very often. The outcome of this repetition is to make the sentence more interesting and appealing. The repetition brighten up the meaning of the words and sentence. For example read the line: 'Every change of season, weather, indeed every hour of the day, produces some change in the magical hues.' Now have a look at the original work 'Every change of season, every change weather, indeed every hour of the day, produces some change in the magical hues.' Which was the most appealing? Obviously the latter one.

    If we remove the repeated words every and change then it would totally make the sentence dull. Such writing style, use of repetitive words enhances the beauty of writing.
