A man is in his house sitting down in his chair trying to stay awake, but suddenly he hears a tapping at his chamber door. He was very scared because he didn’t know what it was. When he heard it again, he looked out the door and saw the raven. The man got even more scared because he was thinking about his lost Lenore. Every time he asked the bird “Why are you here?” it said, “Nevermore.” My favorite scene was when the narrator opened the door and the raven said “Nevermore.” [Abigail#7]


















So what if you knew the secret to making dead corpses come to life? There’s this guy, Dr. Frankenstein, who knows that secret. So, he’s awfully lonely, and what he basically does is say, “Oh, I’m going to get the parts of corpses and make a human!” Well, that’s exactly what he did, and it wasn’t the best idea. Frankenstein isn’t the best looking guy out there, and Dr. Frankenstein doesn’t want anything to do with him, in fact he sort of hates him. But all Frankenstein wants is love, what’s wrong with that? Well, everyone is afraid of him, and therefore everyone hates him. So (this is a qoute from the book), “If I cannot find love, I will inspire FEAR!” So he’s getting revenge on Dr. Frankenstein for creating him. [Heather]
