    not understand the fact that diversity was key in making sure that there was a type of poem that everyone could appreciate. For example, though I could not relate to the dark style that Edgar Allen Poe writes in (specifically from this class in “The Raven”), I was still able to see how classmates had different, more positive reactions than me. This showed me that the poem resonated with other people and, while I did not get as much out of it, did not mean that Edgar Allan Poe was a bad writer or…

    Edgar Allan Poe’s Poem “The Raven” shows a dark reflection of lost hope, death and loss of a loved one. This poem goes through the emotions with the young man who has lost a loved one, and tries to distract himself from the hurt and sadness by reading books. These books turn out to be no help because of the nightmares of one visitor, the raven. Poe uses elements like symbolism, tone and imagery to enforce his theme of sadness and loss of his loved one throughout the poem. The poem displays…

    Edgar Allan Poe, a man who faced much critiquing during his time, wrote a poem centered around death, loss, and beauty, “The Raven”. Although in the twenty-first century this topic would seem odd and not many people could relate to the poem, during Poe’s time this type of poem was expected and praised highly. Poe, unlike most men, lost his mother at a very young age, causing him to worship females and hold them closer than males. Although this poem is about a young student who is “harassed” by a…

    In line 48 of the poem, the famous line, “Quoth the raven, Nevermore,” is introduced for the first time (Poe). This line is used as a refrain for the remainder of the poem; each time it is used, the speaker seems to believe it a little more (Grayson 4). “Though its answer little meaning,” at first, the raven’s repetitive answer completely takes apart the narrator, turning him into a shuddering wreck, deciding that the raven is a “…thing of evil! - prophet still, if bird or devil!” (lines…

    “Nevermore,” said the raven. 9) I’m amazed at this raven being able to make a conversation. His answer had no meaning and was irrelevant. That we may agree that no person was able to see a raven perched above the door. Whose name was Nevermore. 10) The raven perched alone on the statue, who only has said one word, as if its poured out his soul that one word. Did not move a feather, nor has…

Sadly, his wife died in 1847 of tuberculosis, and “Poe became increasingly depressed and erratic” though he still continued writing (Britannica 1). Many considered…

    Gothic composers are still able to appeal to the human senses and emotions through their incorporation of a myriad of Gothic conventions and motifs. These conventions, evident in texts such as Edgar Allan Poe’s narrative poem and short story, The Raven (1845) and The Black Cat (1843) respectively, and Henry James’ novella, The Turn of the Screw (1898), create a sense of mystery; the looming darkness of danger and evil, the fear, the suspense, and even madness, captivate readers ' attention and…

    I have read the books and watched the plays of The Monkey's Paw, Sleepy Hollow, Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County, The Necklace, Tell Tall- Heart and The Raven.

    “Way to Wealth” (1758) by Benjamin Franklin “The Raven” by Edger Allan Poe and “The legend of Sleepy Hollow” by Washington Irving. The reason that I chose to write about these three pieces is that they really stuck out to me the most in this class. The Way to Wealth stuck out to me one because I had never read it before so it was nice to read something new and it also made me think about what the word wealth actually means. Then I picked The Raven because it is one of my favorite of Edger Allan…
