Poe Blog

I would choose Poe.  I enjoy reading his poems because of the way he writes.  It makes you want to keep reading because of the suspense he builds up in his stories.  Also, with his "bloody death", he keeps it interesting enough that I enjoy reading it and will finish the story.  I also like how he uses words to make the sounds he is trying to get across to the reader.  He makes it so that you can visualize and think what it going on and guess on what is going to happen next.  This keeps the reader into the story and it is why I would choose team Poe.

Romantic Poem Reflection

Of the poems we studied this week my favorite was The Tide Rises The Tide Falls.  I thought it was an interesting reflection of nature and enjoyed reading it.  What makes it romantic is it plays on the readers senses with the footprints in the sand, and the connection to nature which is the scene of the footprints laying in the sand being washed away by the rising tide.  I liked being able to visualize the tide coming in because it is peaceful and it made it good to read.
