Edgar Allan Poe
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 have never read a poe. what i expect from a classic horror writer is that they are really good at scaring people and know what there talking about! there movies or books have kind of a twist to it and its kinda confusing and than at the end tie it all together! and its interesting. i dont really read scary stories i dont read that often but i like to watch scary movies lke the ones whrere your at the end of the seet scared out of your mind with your legs off of the ground. its the best feeling even though you feel like your going to pee your pants i love getting scared!


i think we will be reading a horror/scary book for just some odd reason!no i have not read any scary stories! i dont like to read! and that is all i can think of to say!
