Canadians did have a sense of urgency to preserve their culture, but it is also important to note that the American magazines were taking away from Canadian magazines' business. I believe this was…

1.To a very large extent I believe that the Canadian magazine dispute was motivated by genuine desires to protect Canadian culture based on the fact that the government have on several occasions taken actions that have proven this claim.

The Raven Literary Analysis I would like to do a literary analysis of “The Raven” by Edgar Allan Poe, which is considered one of the best poems in the history. Main character is the narrator, who is not further described except fact that he lost his beloved Lenore, and the raven.

Answer to that is…

George R.R Martin, an American novelist, once said, “Love is madness and lust is poison.” Yet, the loss of the same love can oftentimes leave people in a state of anguish. In the poem “The Raven” by Edgar Allan Poe, the protagonist is trapped in melancholia after the loss of his wife Lenore. The author uses two gothic conventions; decay and emotion to manifest the main character’s madness driven by grief. The gothic convention of decay demonstrated how sorrow prompted the protagonists’ madness…
