7. (With 10+ sentences in paragraph(s) form)-Choose your favorite “Poe” story that we have read and summarize the storyline. Explain how he used suspense OR symbolism. How does it add to the meaning?
My favorite story that we read from Poe was “The Raven’’ because when the raven is at his window saying “nevermore” over and over again, it reminds him of his wife. As the raven keeps repeating itself, Poe is thinking of all these things that could have happened to his wife and he gets angry with himself. But the thing about this story is that you never know if Poe was dreaming or not, because he says while I lay here, nearly napping. So I wonder if it was all a dream, or if he really heard the raven at his window that night.

8. Finish paragraphs on your favorite story
But all in all it was my favorite story because Poe talks about a raven sitting on his window ledge on a cold winter night, and it keeps saying nevermore and it reminds him of his wife. So he starts thinking of all different sorts of things that could have happened to her and he gets angry with himself and he suddenly begins to think that it was his fault.
