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.
The Raven keeps reminding him that lenore is dead and he will never see her again. The Narrator is trying not to think about it through the whole poem. If you notice at the beginning of the poem the narrator seems on edge. Every sound makes him jump. If you want better insight into the poem you can watch the first simpsons treehouse of horror. The did the raven and it might be easier to understand if you saw it acted out.
ReplyDeleteMost of Poe's work is about someone on edge, The Tell Tale Heart is the same way, the guy is on edge about everything, the sounds, if they notice the heart, if they notice the master gone, but Poe was a man on edge himself, especially with death, he had so much of it in his younger years of life that it became like an obsession. He would freak out when going around graveyards. Good writers put their own feelings into their works. Poe is an outstanding writer.
