A New Ending

As the walls are closeing in, there is no time to panic. Think, think, think. The walls are closing directly over the pit. How deep is this pit? As I inch my way tword the pit, I search the wall. Iron walls of heat bearing down on me, but how are they heated? Reaching the pit I lean over and can see nothing but darkness! There is no time to waste. Leaning down I near the wall to the right and by reaching my hand into the pit and under the closing wall, I pray to not burn myself. Reaching far and around the underside of the wall I frantically feel for a notch in the other side. I feel none, but how is this wall heated? There! A tube is hanging a few inches up, but I have no time to question anymore! I grab it and jump into the pit, hoping this tube can hold me. Yet, it is a flimsy material. It snaps when holding my weight, and i am falling...falling...fallling.

Team Poe

I prefer Edgar Allen Poe to Irving. I like that Poe has a background story to everything in his writing, not just some reason to write.  I think he is a very gifted poet and writer, because of the way he pays such attention to detail. Every word and the meaning behind every word is so thought out, or maybe it naturally occurs when he writes. The amount of bloodydeath in his stories make alot of people wonder why he thought it was necesary to be put into the story, but I believe Poe would not have been such a famous writer without it. This makes me question things a little though, because if his stories were not as gruesome.. Would he have been so famous? Or would he have been just another washed up writer with a past?

Reflection on poem read...(oct. 30)

The Viking poem from this week, I found odd. It didn't really make sense as to why someone would write this piece, but there is always a reason for everthing. I think it is a new twist on a love story, because it isn't what you would normally read about. When the guy kills himself, the first thought that came to my head was... What happened to the child? If the mother died in child birth, and the dad killed himself, I kind of want to know what happened to the boy they had. If there is an answer out there, it would be nice to know.
