Personal Response

This poem was about a Raven and a man who miss his wife. This poem was writing by Edgar Allen Poe. The author of this poem he was a very sadness person and unhappy short life. It was a mysterious poem. This poem took place at one cold and dark midnight in December at the main character's chamber door. At that midnight while he was nodding, nearly napping he heard some curious noise. He heard someone was tapping at his room door he thought is a visitor but nobody was there. Also he thought it was a ghost " his wife " his passed always wife "Lenore". He always heard his wife name "Lenore". But all those volume and noise came from the wind and the Raven.

This poem made you feel so mysterious and scared, but made you want to keep reading to finish the poem. In my opinion why this poem is a mysterious and scared because this poem was happened at the midnight and it was the coldness month in the year. The mood of this poem is a sadness and sentimental poem. Why I think this poem is sentimental because the husband has lost his wife and he still loved his wife so much, even through his wife was a ghost. But it was just a dream. I think he was a sentimental man. I think the setting and characters made me feel scared.

The thing that I like about this poem is the setting and character. This poem sounds like very familiar and touching feeling. The mystery of this poem I like is this poem was like a ghost story but not. It made you feel so scared and interested. So it made you want to keep reading the poem and find out what will happen next. All those words that appear on the poem almost were the old English and I can learn some old English. When I read this poem, it made me remember when I was a child; I had heard some true stories about ghosts.
