Read the poems on the following pages.  Read them more than once.  Afterwards, I will want you to share which is your favorite and why.  When you respond to that question, BE SPECIFIC.  "I liked the one about the raven because it was creepy" is not specific.  It's lame.  Don't be lame.  Instead, say something like, "I liked "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe because the raven kept repeating "nevermore" and it drove the guy insane.   I'm sure it was all in the guy's head, but I can imagine an annoying bird being so distracting that you just want to scream!"
