“The Masque of the Red Death” written by Edgar Allan Poe is a story about the black plague that broke out across the world and affected lots of peoples lives.

The first of the seven rooms was the blue room. I think the blue room describes infancy, the first stage of life. Edgar Allan poe describes the first blue room as “...vividly blue” (76).

Orange is a color that symbolizes enthusiasm, fascination, happiness, creativity, determination, attraction, success, and encouragement. When you are a young adult you are just starting off on your own and you are full of enthusiasm and happiness, and you are determined to make a future for
