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 Edgar Alan Poe, so I dont know what to think of his stuff. I think his stuff will be kind of scary if you cana understand it. Just like Romeo and Juliet, it was really cute and romantical, but only if you could understand what it meant. I think that is what Edgar Alan Poes poems or stories, or whatever it is that we are going to be reading, I think that is how it will be.

I have read scary stories before but now when I read them again, they dont seem that scary to me. But when you are younger and dont know that the stories arent true, then thhat makes the stories scary, it also makes them seem scarier if people say they are true.

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

Uhhhhhh no I have never studied a skunks eyes, I don't think I would be able to without getting sprayed by their stinky spray stuff from their butts that you can only get out with washing your body with tomato soup stuff! I hope I am never close enough o see a skunks eyes. I bet they are a pretty color. Maybe, I don't know, they might have like a cool design in them that is a really cool color. Most people have something pretty about their eyes, or a cool design or something.
