Gothiclight

Team Edgar Allan Poe!!!

Ever since we read "Tell-Tale Heart" in eighth grade, I've been really intrigued by Poe's sinister writing style. Once we started learning more about his lifestyle and all the tragedies that happened to all the people he loved, I started to grow more of an understanding of why Poe wrote the way he did. I've never really been into books, stories, or movies that involve the Devil in a literal way. It's always creeped me out. What I like about Poe's writing is that he uses such great descriptions that literally give me goosebumps.Poe's Gothic style of writing definitely impacted me more that Irving.

Romantic Poem Reflection

One of the poems we read this week called "The Tide Rises, The Tide Falls" was a really interesting poem for me to read. The symbolism that the author used was very intriguing. The fact that he repeated the phrase "The tide rises, the tide falls" let me know that that was the main message of the poem. I liked how he used repetition to get his point across. I also enjoyed the message that the author gave to his readers. The message that no matter what, life goes on, and we need to keep moving!
