He proceeded to fly into my house and perch on my pure white sculpture of the Greek goddess of wisdom.

8) The bird has me smiling. I wasn’t sure if he was a coward. I asked him what his name was and he said ‘’nevermore’’.

9) He spoke so clear it was quite astonishing. Even though what he spoke sounded of no relevancy. I felt as if I was the only human being who had ever had a raven perch on his/her Greek bust.

10) The raven only said that one word. It was like that word was his life motto. I was happy he was here but I felt as if he would leave me just like the rest of them. But the raven said ‘’nevermore’’

    The Great Flood in “Genesis 6-9” vs. “The Epic of Gilgamesh” There are many contradictions about the validity of stories in the Hebrew Bible. For example, “The Epic of Gilgamesh” has a few scenes that are similar to that of the Hebrew Bible. One scene in particular is Utanaphistim’s account of the Great Flood. The contradictions arise because Gilgamesh is dated as being written before the Hebrew bible. Therefore, The Epic of Gilgamesh’s flood has a few similarities to that of Noah’s flood in the Hebrew bible as well as differences such as the preparation of the boat, the releasing of the birds, and the time frame of the floods.…

Moreover, “And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting / On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door” (103 - 104) proves that the bird never leaves the main character and is standing by his side. Even when the poem ends and the narrator dies, the sinful bird’s shadow becomes one with the protagonist’s soul instead of leaving him.…

    My most valuable possession was my house. It wasn’t anything fancy or exquisite, but it was there that I had spent the precious moments, however few, with my beloved dad. I remember that we would spend hours playing, running around the arched, brightly lit corridors. On either side, I recall the large mahogany doors which would fluidly open to reveal ancient, chestnut-brown rooms with antique, twin bed frames which were confined within.
