At the end of the story he told us that the guy was killed a few years later. Now WHAT does that have to do with having Poe as his hero I ask you?!? Absolutely nothing!!!!!! BUT, according to this teacher, his hero was the reason that all of this happened. What a crock of shit. I gave that teacher hell for the entire year after that.
Good job:D

I love the Black Cat and Fall of the House of Usher, but every Halloween night - at midnight and by candle light - I read The Tell-Tale Heart aloud (and act it out) to whomever will listen.

We're usually having a partry. Always goes down big.

I had some colections of Poe, and recently I brought a book called "Complete Works of EAP", about 800/900 pages. It's the best way ti gave all of his works.

i like the black cat. if you havent read it its about a man who tries to kill his one eyed cat. instead he kills his wife with the axe he had for the cat. he burries her in the wall in the cellar. the police come and he almost gets away with it. thing is he put the cat in the wall to by accident the cops hear it and tear the wall down and discover his wife. i did a book report on it i got an A.

Blood slowly runs down my chest,Mezmerized by my pale skin yet you look impressed.
You raise the knife above my chest,Wispering words to my heart of theft.Welcome to the my world,The blade of that knife is the last thing my heart held.
