I the story the falloff the house of the usher it kind of was describing a spooky house kind of like the haunted houses at universal. but in the tory poe lets us know tht Roderick was one of his childhood friends also he said that Roderick was gloomy and mysterious.. also he said the house had an evil and diseased atmosphere from the decaying trees and mucky ponds around it. in the story poe says he came to the house because Roderick sent him a letter. in the letter Roderick was saying that he was feeling physical and emotionally ill. but the whole time im reading this im saying to myself I wouldn't step foot in that house if the house looked like it had an evil and diseased atmosphere. even tho Roderick was my childhood friend I would  be no were near that house. in plus he was saying that the inside of the house was just as spooky as the outside. also he says that Roderick is paler and less energetic that he once was. while he saying he was entering the house the whole time in y head im thinking about people at universal entering one of th haunter houses and seeing this zombie looking guy in a hotel uniform sitting down in a chair.

in the story afterward it was kind of hard for me to actually understand the story. although I know it was a little different from the first story. But I actually had to read it over a few times. but what I got out of the story after reading after a few times was that it was this lady named mary. Her husband disappeared but she keeps seeing his ghost also I remember this one part in the story that her cousin told her there was ghost but she wont know about them until long afterward. this story was more of a gothic style story in my opinion.

Update: with the story afterward it was basically those types of story that its like a mirror effect. in the beginning it said it was a ghost but she wont know until afterward. then in the end it said the same thing but in the end we actually understand why it said that.

one of  the movies I watched was the newer hansel and Gretel. well in this story it started off as a little boy and girl almost being caught by a witch but their  mom was a witch herself and before the humans killed their mother she put a spell over them so no witch could ever touch them then when they got older they became witch hunters they didn't find out their mom was a witch until toward the end of the movie when one of the evil witches told them. enough with the background of the story but this movie was more of a sci fi based movie because the way the movie was formatted.

another movie that I watched was the all time favorite Jurassic park. everybody know what happened in this movie.but if you didn't its about a group of people selected to go to a theme park that has re created dinosaurs. everybody think everything is going to go as planned until one of the dinasours get out then all hell breaks loose in the park. this movie was more of a fantasy based movie.

the other movie I watched was another all time favorite E.T. it  was about an alie getting stranded on the planet earth and a little boy named Elliot finds him and becomes friends with him. he shows his older brother and his little sister his new alien friend and all of them try to keep it  secret from their mother. but itdosent take long until ET gets sick

in the short poem Annabel Lee was about two kids that fell in love and one day it was a cold wind that came by and it chilled and killed his love Annabelle Lee. well that's what the story is about. in this poem to be honest I don't know if its they way I'm thinking or what but this boy seems crazy. because this whole time I'm reading this poem I'm thinking why couldn't they let Annabelle talk? why couldn't they let her say how she felt about him? Or how can a cold wind out of the sky kill he just like that? Or another question is how do we know that Annabelle feels the same way about him? What if he just feels this way about her and this whole time Annabelle lee just sees him as this little annoying boy that likes her. because were have you ever seen two kids fall in love before? well at least I never even once seen anything like that before.

Now I'm going to talk about the poem The Raven. This poem was a litttle different from the poem Annbelle Lee. when I firstread the poem the only thing I could get out of it was something about a chamber door. but when I kept re reading it another thing that stuck out to me was at the end when the man went off on the raven. it had me think was the raven mocking Lenore? then when he said. "Leave my loneliness unbroken! quit the bust above my door! Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from out my door" it mad me think did the raven transform into Lenore. because when he said "take thy form from out my door" made me think either the bird was sitting on or standing by the door or the bird turned into Lenore and the man was yelling at the bird and basically said get out of the form of Lenore and leave. because obviously when he was yelling at the bird he wanted the bird to leave. But what was the reason he got so mad at the bird?

update: well when I first red the poems I didn't really know anything about edgar allan poe but now that I found out a little about him now I know now he wasn't just some crazy old man he was just a man that lost his love. also now I know that they were really just KIDS in love. when he wrote the poem Annabelle lee.
