It seems like reading Edgar Allan Poe stories around Halloween is a rite of passage for students in English classes. He wrote poems such as "The Raven" and "Annabel Lee" and stories like "The Tell-Tale Heart", "The Black Cat", "The Fall of the House of Usher", "The Cask of Amontillado", "The Masque of the Red Death", "The Pit and the Pendulum", etc.If you have read Poe stories before, which ones have you read and what do you remember of them? Did you like them? How scary/creepy were they? Share your memories of you or teachers reading the works of Edgar Allan Poe.If you have not read Poe or don't remember, describe to me what you expect from a classic horror writer? What kinds of stories do you think we'll be reading? Have you ever read scary stories?

I think I've read The Raven and the Cask of Amontillado in English before. I remember they were really weird and disturbing. I think in the Raven some guy snuck into another guys house and killed him while he was sleeping because he didn't like his weird looking "evil eye." I think then he put the body under the floor boards and the police came and he went crazy from guilt.
I did like the other one the cask of Amontillado. I think that was one where there was a guy who had held a grudge against another guy for years and he tricked him into going into the cellar and he trapped him in a room and then sealed it up with cement and bricks. It was fun to read them but they weren't that scary more disturbing and weird then anything.

Have you ever studied a skunk's eyes? Write about some item you find beauty in that many others might not.

I love rain and grey dark skies and slugs. A lot of people get sad and glum when it rains and they feel all dreary and they just want to cuddle up in a blanket an go to bed. I absolutely love those kind of days. I get really excited and I feel energized. I also love slugs even though people think they're gross and disgusting they remind me of going to school and steeping on them and they always come out when it rains. What grey and dark meansto you is totally different for me.
