to talk about. I have an original/fresh take in using imagery to make connections between objects that by themselves do not support any ideal of excellence. I 've also compressed my writing down to only a few lines which aids my explosive writing style the best. The longer my poetry the more than likely the charm of originality and wacky weirdness begins to overstay its welcome. The most valuable lesson I have learned is that my writing works best in short intervals and must be written under…

In Marilyn Chin’s “Elegy for Chloe Nguyen (1955-1988),” she speaks about the life of her friend that has passed away at the age of 33. She compares their lives side by side, with Chin growing up poor and Nguyen growing up wealthy. Both women grew up in a similar cultural background, but a different class background.

Poe’s Narrators/ Unreliable Narrators In Edgar Allan Poe’s stories there sometimes tends to be an unreliable narrator in the story.

We can mostly see it in “The Tell-Tale Heart”. Everyone of Poe’s stories has a gruesome and traumatic ending which add on to that insane and unreliable sense. In “The Tell-Tale Heart”, the narrator is…
