One way being in how the raven speaks repeatedly saying but one word, "Quoth the raven, 'Nevermore.'". With the dark feathers of the black raven showing the inhumanity in the way in which the raven speaks. While it speaks it shows the fear of the situation, knowing something which should be impossible is now happening.]]> 2017-02-17 14:10:03 UTC https://padlet.com/mgabridge/perfectQ4/wish/154584909 zjohnson7 https://padlet.com/mgabridge/perfectQ4/wish/154584923
The writing is very effective in "The Raven." The strategy of repetition  is used to convey the writers message. At the end of every stanza, the words "nothing more" and "nevermore" are repeated. These words help create an eerie vibe that the author is trying to create within the poem. The Strategy of using dark imagery is throughout the poem. In stanza #4, "Darkness there and nothing more," creates a dark setting. This strategy helps the authors words come alive in the readers mind.]]> 2017-02-17 14:10:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mgabridge/perfectQ4/wish/154584923 jgross8 https://padlet.com/mgabridge/perfectQ4/wish/154585169
The writing is very effective in the poem "The Raven," by Edgar Allen Poe. The author helps the reader develop the poem by first using examples of sensory detail like, "the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain," to convey the hollow, dark mood that the poem gives off. It also rhymes, for example, "Lenore" is repeated several times throughout the poem to really conclude how the
 death of his love is truly driving him insane.]]> 2017-02-17 14:10:56 UTC https://padlet.com/mgabridge/perfectQ4/wish/154585169 https://padlet.com/mgabridge/perfectQ4/wish/154585308 In the poem "The Raven" by Edgar Allen Poe he tells about his sadness for his lost love and how it is driving him mad. The author shows hoe he is crazy by having him believe that the raven is talking to him by mocking him and reminding him of his lost love. The raven repeats the words "nevermore" whenever he asks about his lost love, Lenore. reminding him that he will never see her again. Poe uses the words such as evil, devil, and plutonian shore to tell us that he is in a hell of his own without his darling. Poe uses "leave no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken!" to tell us that he wants to forget the pain.]]> 2017-02-17 14:11:23 UTC https://padlet.com/mgabridge/perfectQ4/wish/154585308 https://padlet.com/mgabridge/perfectQ4/wish/154585342 This writing was effective because of the strategy the author uses. For example, the mood and tone Poe uses in stanza 5, "...deep into the darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing doubting dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before..." Poe is trying to set the mood by writing in an eerie tone which makes the reader get into the story. Also the author uses great sensory detail. He describes thing with in depth description, for example in stanza 1, "...while I nodded nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping..." He describes what he is hearing so the readers can better understand what they are reading.

After the loss of his radiant maiden, he then becomes alone and in sorrow. This sadness and loneliness causes him to become insane. He begins repeating his words many times and believes the raven is mocking him. His frustration begins to make him crazy. He implies, " Is there- is there balm in Gilead?- tell me- tell me- I implore." He repeats himself as he wonders if there is a cure for his suffering of nothing more in his life, he believes is a living hell.]]> 2017-02-17 14:12:14 UTC https://padlet.com/mgabridge/perfectQ4/wish/154585568 hmoore11 https://padlet.com/mgabridge/perfectQ4/wish/154585617 The theme or mood of "The Raven" is depression or sorrow. The man in the poem gives a vibe of depression, loneliness, sadness and angriness. "Sorrow for the lost of Lenore." He lost his lover and all the thoughts that are going through his head are causing him to go insane in a way. The way he tells it, makes us feel what he feels. He also says "Surcease of sorrow," which means to come to an end of pain, sorrow, or disappointment. Losing someone or something so important to you can make someone go completely insane. And with this, he thought the raven was talking to him saying "Nevermore". ]]> 2017-02-17 14:12:24 UTC https://padlet.com/mgabridge/perfectQ4/wish/154585617 jvalentine7 https://padlet.com/mgabridge/perfectQ4/wish/154585904 The writing was confusing but extremely powerful, if the poem was understood. Poe was mentally insane to the point where he believed that the raven was talking to him,"Quoth the raven 'Nevermore'." The tone/mood that is set, leaves a creepy feeling, which strongly effects the reader. "And my soul form out the shadow that lies floating on the floor shall be lifted - nevermore!" The strategy used to convey the reader is, Poe lets the reader discover what is not told. ]]> 2017-02-17 14:13:27 UTC https://padlet.com/mgabridge/perfectQ4/wish/154585904 ldavis40 https://padlet.com/mgabridge/perfectQ4/wish/154586066 The writings of Edgar Allen Poe in the poem "The Raven"  are to be considered as an immensely effective piece expressing his standing on the affects of grief. One example of his understanding is sensory detail such as the example "Back into the chamber turning , all my soul within me burning". This quote expresses that grief acts upon the narrator as a "Burning" sensation thus defining the example as sensory detail. Another example of Poe's standing lies within the many allusions implied within his writing with one of such being "Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Nights Plutonian shore". This quote depicts the god of the underworld referenced in mythology; Pluto. The underworld is referenced due to the narrator being in grief which when analyzed within the quote theoretically compares grief to the Hell described in the Bible. The ideas expressed by Poe in "The Raven" help depict to possibly unaware audiences on how grief negatively impacts others and the changes they experience. ]]> 2017-02-17 14:14:00 UTC https://padlet.com/mgabridge/perfectQ4/wish/154586066
