"The Fall of the house of the Usher" was a good read, I loved the way the writer explained the house. I think the house was a reflection of the man  in how depress and broken down he was. in the  poem his sister was like a ghost she was  there but she always walked by in a scary way without saying nothing. the story was a slow read but started to pick up at the end when the brother thought the sister was dead and bared her alive. as the story went on the brother and his friend heard strange sounds which was his sister trying to get out. as I was reading I started to see were the house started to seem hunted when the brother and sister died I can see how the house went down with them because it was an connected with the both of them




 “Afterwards” by Edith Wharton was weird but I liked it I don't under stand why someone will want a ghost in there house. I can see how the house of the usher and this story connect with the whole haunting house thing but in this story the house was really haunted. The crazy thing about this story is that the ghost that they wanted in their house was with them since the beginning and they didn't figure it out till the end

 

The Movie The Host is about the an alien invasion, The aliens are  called Wanderer's and seekers. The Wanderer job is to access the memories of their host body, and tell the Seeker where to find more Hosts (humans). A Wanderer was put in to an human host named Melanie, After the Wanderer started accessing Melanie memories ,she start liking her and began to grow closer to Melanie. The Wanderer saw how close Melanie was to her little brother in boyfriend in later tried to her Melanie get back to them to make sure they were safe. 

Melanie's Uncle Jeb finds Wanderer in the desert and finds out that she was turnt, but decides not to kill her, because he believes she is still alive inside

She finds out her bother and boyfriend are still alive, but Jared is so not happy to see her.

Jeb her uncle doesn't want Wanderer dead, though,so He puts in a private cave,

Over the next couple of days,  the Wanderer got use to everything and everyone and the humans kind of get used to her, too. They start calling her  "Wanda." Wanda starts to falling in love with Iran. The seekers was still out looking for Wanda and wouldn't stop until they find her. Until one day the seeker set them up and found them. The humans fought against the seeker and took her to the cave were they were going to kill her, but Wanda stopped them and showed them how to take the seeker out of the human body. later on they took Wanda out of Melanie body, and kept Wanda to the side until they found her a body. When they found her a body everyone and everything was okay, but they were still on the run from other seekers who was still out their.

                                                                                The Raven

Edger Allan Poe poem the raven is very unique to me. This poem is unique because it shows that Poe was not completely into reality. He cannot get over the fact that he lost the love of his life Lenore. He asked the bird a lot of questions like is Lenore in heaven, and the bird will answer nevermore. Not only did he ask the bird about heaven, but he also asked the bird about if they will end up together in the afterlife, and then again the bird said nevermore. When I read this poem it bring up times of sorrow. When someone is in a time of sorrow it will be hard for them to accept reality. They would try to find a scapegoat to blame their problems on. This crow symbolizes Poe memory of Lenore, and that is another reason why it will not go away. He ask the bird to leave and the bird replies “nevermore”. After reading this poem I came to the realization that Poe has a lot of unanswered questions. I feel as if he had no one to talk to and get things off of his chest. Due to him having no one to talk to, he turned his questions to the Raven.

Annabel Lee

The poem, Annabel Lee, written by Edgar Allen Poe describes the narrators love for a beautiful woman. I found it romantic and sweet how the narrator showed so much love for the girl who he grew up with. The narrator describes their love as so meaningful and enchanting that the angels and demons were envious of their love for each other, causing them to kill her. I identified with Edgar Allen Poe when he said that not even death could hinder their love, because I too believe that death should not stop someone from loving another and you can still have deep feelings for one, whether a relative or a lover. I also can relate to the narrator when he says he can see parts of Annabel Lee in nature. I believe when someone passes, at times you can be reminded of them just by certain objects, or things in nature, such as the stars which the narrator refers to. However, I do believe towards the end the narrators’ love for Annabel Lee turns into a freakish obsession when he lays down next to her tomb in the sea. It indicated to me that the narrator was unwilling to let his lover go and he wasn’t able to mourn her death in a healthy way.

 

A Million

I feel that this story was extremely weird. This story influenced me to come to realize that love and lust are two completely different things. In the last page of the story, the author noted that your “lip, hips, hands, and genitals are only receiving and transmitting impulses”. The brain knows and feels love. When you think of love, it is about the feeling you encounter inside of you. It’s not about the sexual attraction you feel towards that person. You can be sexually attracted to multiple people, but that doesn’t mean its love. This story also informed me that there are a plethora of transgender individuals living among us. You would never really know someone’s exact gender.  In the story Dora was a transgender. Although everyone perceived her as a female, she was really a male. She had a hips, breasts and even a vagina. Due to no one knowing her true gender made things really easy for her. Not only did it make it easier for her, but it also did not interfere with her dancing. When I read that part of the story, it made me realize how cruel and evil humans can be. For instance, when someone is transgender they seem to be looked down upon within our society. Although this story was extremely weird, it was also kind of fascinating. It informed me that lust and love are two completely different things. Not only did it inform me that love and lust are two different things, but it also opened up my eyes about the transgender community.

When it changed

 

I found this story Very interesting. The main thing about this story I like is how the ladies didn’t need the men on the planet of Whileaway. I find this interesting because in our society, males and females are not equal. When you look in the past, you can see that women was considered the property of a man. Females had no rights in America. Females couldn’t vote till the 19 Amendment which was ratified 1920. Most women stayed home and took care of the house. Currently Ladies only made 77 Percent of each dollar that men earn. This story fascinated me because it showed how women are more superior on this planet. Another thing that was fascinating about this story was that same sex marriage was normal on this planet. On the planet of Whileaway it was normal for females to insist of same sex marriage. Same sex marriage is one of the most controversial topics in America. Some people feel as if same sex marriage is wrong. I feel as if same sex marriage is ok. If someone is happy with the same sex, then I feel as if they should be able to get married just like any other couple. This story was very interesting because I like how women was independent on this planet.
