Please, I need help answering these questions...

These are questions on Washington Irving's "Rip Van Winkle." Please, help me. 
 
1.How does the story complicate the idea of historical ‘accuracy’?

2. How does the story contrast ‘productive’ and ‘unproductive’ labor?

3. How does the story interrogate gender roles?

4. What is the role of imagination versus common sense/reality?

5. What clues does the story give about whether or not Rip's 20-year slumber really happened?
