It seems like reading Edgar Allan Poe stories around Halloween is a rite of passage for students in English classes. He wrote poems such as "The Raven" and "Annabel Lee" and stories like "The Tell-Tale Heart", "The Black Cat", "The Fall of the House of Usher", "The Cask of Amontillado", "The Masque of the Red Death", "The Pit and the Pendulum", etc.If you have read Poe stories before, which ones have you read and what do you remember of them? Did you like them? How scary/creepy were they? Share your memories of you or teachers reading the works of Edgar Allan Poe.If you have not read Poe or don't remember, describe to me what you expect from a classic horror writer? What kinds of stories do you think we'll be reading? Have you ever read scary stories?
last year we were supposed to read one of his stories. it was something about a man and he had to stay in this place for a really long time and then this person like, died or something. then he left before it was over by like one day. Maybe that wasnt even Edgar Alen Poe. Yah i think that was somebody else. But Im sure iver read SOMETHING of his.
I tried to read his stuff once. i really did. But i just didnt really get it. I think i was supposed to be like really scared, but i wasnt. I think im missing something here. Or maybe im just really brave.... jk. Im really not. at all.
So i think I would rather not read his stories. The raven i think we were supposed to read like 3 years ago for class, but I didnt relly understand, and what i DID understand, was really stupid. There was like this talking raven sitting on a wall and saying nevermore over and over? whoopdee doo. So i think thats all i have to say. i hope i made my point.
