The Story Of The Brothers

Poetry has long been an art form that has entertained readers for many years. Edgar Allen Poe, a poet from the 1900’s, is known for his deep dark poems. He wrote many poems that are now considered classics. One of his greatest works, “The Raven”, was written in 1845; just two years before his wife Virginia Clemm died of Tuberculosis. The entirety of “The Raven” is confined in a man 's chamber. It is a December winter and it is midnight. The narrator, the person who resides in the chamber, is reading a book: glooming over the recent death of his wife Lenore when he hears a sound at his door. After finding no one there, he hears a whisper that says “Lenore.” He returns to what he was doing, but a bird flies in. The bird is a black raven, a bird one would typically find menacing. He is inquisitive and begins to ask the bird questions : “What is your name” to which the bird responds “Nevermore.” Near the end of his questioning he asks, “Tell this soul with sorrow laden if, within the distant Aidenn, It shall clasp a sainted maiden whom the angels name Lenore - Clasp a rare and radiant maiden, whom the angels name Lenore?” This questioned if he ever get to meet Lenore again and the bird replies “Nevermore.” Finally, the man asks the bird if he will ever leave and once again the bird replies “Nevermore.” Throughout the poem, Poe uses literary elements to produce an aura of wackiness and despair.

Through point of view, and symbolism The author diligently characterizes Brother as dedicated and prideful helping the reader relate to his undying determination to help Doodle develop.

Mickey looked at the rules for this boat and was grateful that he had lost five pounds ever since being diagnosed with diabetes. His boat would float a little easier with having less weight to hold. The project had said to create a cardboard boat and paddles out of plastic, duct tape, and cardboard. While deciding on a basic structure for the boat, he has flashbacks from the Fourth of July. As Mickey thinks back to that glorious, hot dog filled day, he is reminded of himself barking endlessly at a passing dog on what he remembers being called a pontoon boat. The dog looked so peaceful to him. With all of those people on one platform easily balanced out by the large silver tubes on each side. Mickey wanted his boat to seem as peaceful and structurally

" I begin to doze off pondering the traits of The Raven character and how it would be portrayed in my life should I have a similar experience.

It was there that I saw the raven perched out on my lawn. Tattered, mangled, and dark as the midnight palate, it sat staring through my window.
