I rate Raven’s Peak 3 out of 4, I feel it could have had a little more detail to get a clear picture. There was some points with very good detail descriptions, but some parts were lacking a little bit. The story line kept me hooked all the way to the end so I’m not rating a 1 or 2. Raven’s Peak is about a girl named Abigail. She is part of a secret society called the Council. The Council’s job is to keep supernatural activity kept secret from the world. Abigail is an agent from the Council, she is known as a hunter. She mainly looks into things for the Council, strange activity going on anywhere in the world. She is also sent to kill members of the Ninth Circle, demon worshipers, the members she hunts down and kills have accepted a demon to live within their body. She does what the council asks but she has another objective in mind, finding her mentor/father. After a demon took control over her body, the demon left her body for her mentors and the demon took her mentor straight to hell with him. As she is working for the Council she runs into one of the Council members son. He was closed off from what was happening in the world. Since he met Abigail his eyes were opened to the truth. …show more content…
I wish I knew more about what happened to Arthur, for him to be in a jail type place. There was a lot of suspense and a lot of questions in the beginning, some questions got answered others didn’t. There was some good detail throughout, almost seemed as though I was watching everything happen like I was right there. The fight between Arthur and the demon was most suspenseful, I couldn’t take my eyes off the fight. It felt like if I looked away I might miss something important. After the fight everything went black in a sense, then time moved
Edgar Allan Poe was born on January 19, 1809, in Boston, Massachusetts. His parents David and Elizabeth Poe were professional actors. They had three children: Henry, Edgar, and Rosalie. When in 1817, Mrs. Poe died, Henry was taken to be raised with his grandmother, Edgar was adopted by the wealthy couple, Frances and John Allan, and Rosalie was taken by another couple. The luckiest one became Edgar because his new parents were very wealthy people, so he was able to go to different schools. When he was seventeen, he entered the University of Virginia, but because of his gambling and drinking problems he was dismissed from there.
The entire poem including the first stanza, as scanned here, is octametre with mostly trochaic feet and some iams. The use of a longer line enables the poem to be more of a narration of the evening's events. Also, it enables Poe to use internal rhymes as shown in bold. The internal rhyme occurs in the first and third lines of each stanza. As one reads the poem you begin to expect the next rhyme pushing you along. The external rhyme of the "or" sound in Lenore and nevermore at then end of each stanza imitates the haunting nature of the narrator's thoughts. The internal rhyme along with the same external rhyme repeated at the end of each stanza and other literary devices such as alliteration and assonance and

It's telling of multiple storylines whilst allowing the reader to not get confused was incredible. The fact that it is non-fiction, and impeccably researched is equally wonderful. I would rate the book 9/10. It only lost points because it didn't give enough detail in some places, and it gave far too much detail in others. Finally, it used many eloquent words, including my favorite, vexatious. Anyone who wants a great read should definitely read the would highly recommend The Devil in the White
Literary Analysis The Raven is arguably the most famous out of all of Edgar Allen Poe’s pieces, but it is also one of the saddest. The Raven is a poem about a man mourning the loss of his love, Lenore. The poem begins with the unnamed narrator distracting himself with a book on bleak December night when he hears a tapping on his chamber door. He begins to tell himself that it is only a visitor, and eagerly awaits the next day.
However, I didn't like that it was very predictable and I felt like I knew what was going to happen because the story seemed like it was healing in that direction, for example, I guessed that as soon as Beowulf and his men reached the entrance to “her” cave that they would find some sign of Unferth's death, and guess what ?, “Dangling from the only branch that grew on the tree was a gory head. It was Unferth’s.” Also I guessed that Beowulf would become king after the king died in some sort of battle, and he did, so the story was a bit predictable, but It did have an overall three out of five

While trying to summarize The Raven Boys, I had a very hard time describing its contents in any way that really does it
Raven’s Peak by Lincoln Cole is a curious mix of horror and thriller.

The main character is an unnamed man who is sitting in his home.

“The Raven” symbolizes to Poe, why this poem is so deeply credited for this author, and what made him decide to write the poem. People wonder what truly went on in the mind of Poe as he was writing one of his many great works. His dynamic use of figurative language, color symbols, and illusions truly bring out a state of mind that he has not expressed in any of his other
