A Conference with Allan

As a part of the introduction to the Romantic Literature Era, we have begun studying famous mystery writer Edgar Allan Poe. And to help us out a little, we were given a site dedicated exclusively to this outstanding author. This site, “Knowing Poe”, had many links that would give you all the information you might ever need to know everything about Poe. But maybe not everything…
The eye appeal was very detailed thought for; the colors, the animations, the letters, everything with some sort of attractive side was neatly chosen and applied. A very good example of this is a raven that appears flying in. This of course is from the famous poem “The Raven”. This also sets the very main point of the site. Poe is recognized by this black bird, servant of the night, therefore this is a symbol representing Poe and his peculiar taste and style.
As mentioned, this site has various links to inform you bits and pieces of Poe’s life. Certainly, people won’t necessarily agree with the information being given. The “Point of view” section was most appealing and interesting for it explained briefly yet explicitly what a point of view was and the effects it makes on the mood and the way of readers to understand and capture the message and image the author is trying to deliver. Aside from that, it shows one great story to demonstrate this effect. “The Cask of the Amontillado” is a perfect example to explain point of view, for the story itself has three points of view. There was a bright spot, now for the downfall. Some links, like “Poe the Perfectionist” wasn’t as interesting as the rest of the whole site. Writer’s style and editing methods may vary, but they don’t just may vary, but they do vary, therefore his way of editing and making his work perfect are kind of irrelevant.
This site fits with people who are just curious and bored and happen to be interested in this writer. But for people who are into really scrutinizing his live detail by detail, this is just the wring place. It might be good, though, to pin point the areas you might want to search, it’s kind of an organizer of thoughts; it is a list, giving you all the things you need to research to become a Poeologist. For example, if someone wants to know only about all the Poe stories, this site might give you a head start with the “Poe’s Work” section.
In the end, whether you have nothing to do or you’re really into not sleeping at night, this site will help you organize your ideas about Edgar Allan Poe.

You misspelled something.

Look up “grammar.”

Other than that, this is really an informative article.
