Recently in Mrs. Steele's class we have been reading pieces by Edgar Allen Poe. The most interest one we read to me was "The Fall of the House of Usher." This story was very interesting because it was just really weird. The story is about a strange man who has a disability and he can't stand to face the world. He stays inside of his dark, gloomy house and never comes out. Everything bothers him, such as sun light and loud noises. He played the guitar but he was only interested in a certain type of music. He is a very frail man and he can not mvoe around the house without losing his breath. His friend comes and visits him to try to help because he knows something is wrong. He ends up burrying his twin sister, Madeline, but she is still alive. She escapes out of her casket and they die together. The whole stroy is about how they connect and feel when something is wrong with one another because they are twins.
