Day 13

Today we continue talking about the dark side of transcendentalism by discussing "The Black Cat" and "The Raven." Part of the idea of Poe is that he, through his dark stories, gives the impression that people who do bad things will get punished in some way. This is the idea of the glass half empty versus the true transcendentalist who would think the positive out of the situation.

For today's blog:

Writing as the speaker, compose a diary entry for a day one week after the raven incidents. What does the speaker think and feel now? What has happened to the raven? You must be true to the story of what happens to the speaker during his continual interactions with the raven and his issues over the death of his beloved Lenore.

If you were not here today, go to YouTube and put in "The Raven" by Poe and listen to it.

Dear Diary,
I feel that this Raven shall never leave me alone.
It stays as if it needs to remind me of my love's death. My poor Lenore...how i miss the. It's becoming rather annoying, this bird, for it constantly tells me "nevermore". I feel I am going crazy because of this bird. I keep thinking that if I kill it it would make my life seem all the better...but at the same time I would feel even worse, having two deaths on my conscience. Maybe I shall end my own so this pain shall stop.

It was one week after Lenore died. I feel very sad and lonley. I am trying to keep myself distracted by reading books. There was a raven in the house that I thought was sending me a message from Lenore . I thought I was seeing things when I first saw the raven telling me nevermore when I was asking him questions. When the raven flew away where did it go. What did the raven mean when it said nevermore?

Dear diary,Its been one week, and the raven still hasnt left me alone. I am still mourning my wife, Lenore's death. This raven is reminding me of Lenore. I dont know if I'm imagining it, but the raven can only say nevermore, and its really started to annoy me. I'm trying to keep my mind off of my wifes death, but the raven keeps reminding of her everyday. I wonder where the raven went when it flew away? I guess I'll never know.

It seems as if this raven won't leave me alone. It seems as it is sending me a message about Lenores death. The bird irritates me constantly by repeating "nevermore." What does it mean? This raven is driving me insane. I feel that it is my fault that Lenore is dead. I wonder where that annoying bird has gone anyway? I miss Lenore now more than ever. If only I could see her again.

Dear diary,
This raven won't leave and let me live in peace. It is constanly just looking down on me and watching me. I ask it to leave but it just keeps on siting saying nevermore. I am getting so mad with this raven it is haunting me. Every time I walk to one side of the room it is always following me with its eyes. When ever I look up at it is always staring at me. It almost apears that this raven is tying to look right through me. It is consantanly watching and always repeating nevermore. I fear that this raven will never leave me.

Its been a full seven days and that raven is still not gone. It is keeping me commpanty, but still only says nevermore. It sits in the same place it did seven days ago and will not go away. I will not force it to leave but it would be nice if it left. I don't know how much more i can take of it looking at me and it does creep me out. Either it fall over dead with a thump or it has some special abillitie. It reminds me how someone i lost and that person would be Lenore.

Diary,

It has been one week of dealing with that devil of a raven. It never leaves me alone and keeps bothering me. Its almost like it knows what I have done in my life. I waish that I could kill it and get rid of that thing for it is causing me more pain than I have ever felt.I am not a killer, though "L" is dead becuase of me and I would not like to be called a killer so I am resisting from this Raven but I have to get rid of it somehow.

Dear Diary,

I think I am going crazy because of this raven. The look of it still reminds me of a demon. Its been a week and this raven still only says, "Nevermore." Everytime it says it it reminds me of Lenore's death. How i will never have her love again. Never again will I have love to live for. Not only that sorrow, but the fact that the raven will never stop haunting me. Soon the raven will have destroyed my life, and lead to my death.

Anonymous said...

dear diary,
at first i thought not much of this raven. now i see how its affecting me everyday. at first it was nothing, a mere anoyance, but its a constant reminder of what i lost. the only thing it ever says is "nevermore". which by itself could mean nothing but to me its like a weapon harming me. i try to get rid of the raven but it always comes back. everyday its more and more what i fear most.

It has been onw week scince my incounter with the raven. It has still not left my living quarters. But the raven and i have become some what of friends. I take care of it, feed it, and play with it. While the raven has been in my life i feel that same feeling when my beloved Lanore was still alive. I feel happier for the first time since Lanore passed. I don't know why i feel this way but this raven is now my new Lanore. It fills her spot completely. The raven has also learned many new words. Now that she is around a happy place she doesn't just think of death. She says forevermore insead of nevermore. She laughs with me and we have long incessent talks where i do most of the talking but she is a great listener. I do not sit here alone anylonger. I am among a friend who i call Lanore.

Dear Diary,
It has been a week and the Raven still hasn't left. He uses the same phrase over and over. I have still haven't come to figure out everything about the bird. However I am becoming less jittery with it being around all the time. We have grown into a mutual relationship and I think that we get along much better than our first encounter. I somehow get this feeling that it is trying to tell me something; something bad. I think that the bird wants me to figure it out myself though. The bird, however, took my mind off of my precious Lanore. It occupied that spot of my mind and helped me think about different things and gather my thoughts.

Dear Diary,
The raven is still in my house. It sits there staring at me with those haunting eyes. It is as though trying to make me suffer. It continually reminds me of my one love, Lenore. How she is no longer in my life. I can practically hear the raven shouting "nevermore". Perhaps by ending my life it will end this pain. My pain that haunts me in the form of this raven. It just won't go away and let me be.

This nuisance of a bird wont stop.Where ever I go it always repeats these same words "nevermore".I dont understand why he does this to me.Is it because I will nevermore see my Lenore?Maybe its I will nevermore love again.The raven becomes now more violently repeating it and now is saying it more than usual.Maybe I will just kill this wretched animal so it will nevermore repeat those words.Now as I try and get some rest I will ponder upon some ways to get rid of my pest.

Dear Diary ,
Its been a whole week and the raven is still not gone. Constiently it is wispering nevermore. This makes me think of my beloved Lenore. Hearing the Raven say this makes me think of how i will never see her again , and how much i miss her. I keep trying to get the raven out and away from my house but it just hides and will stay in and annoy me. I don't know how much longer I can stand this. Day and Night I hear it saying the one word it knows , nevermore.

Dear Diary,
It has been one week since the raven incident. I think that this will never leave my mind of what happened. Also, i think that stupid raven needs a new response instead of "nevermore" which is what got me really mad. Also, the factor that i was just talking to it and all i got was that really pissed me off. Worse part is that the raven is still there and is getting even more annoying. I think that the raven has to be involved with the death of my wife someway and somehow. Last thing is that the raven was cool ta me but now i hate it.

Dear diary,
I think this raven is going to drive me insane. It sits there all day and just says "nevermore". All he is doing is reminding me of Lenore. If I kill it I do not think it will make me feel any better. The raven mocks me and we do not get along very well. The raven does give me some company though. Without Lenore here its quiet and lonely. It's finnaly learned some new words. I think maybe with some time we will get along.

Dear Diary,
This raven will not leave me alone. All it does is remind me of my lost love Lenore. Reapting itself over and over "nevermore, nevermore". When will this end? However, I will not force the Raven to leave me, that has to be done by it's own choice. As the days go own I start to from an acquaintance with the Raven. What if it's trying to help me, warn me of something? Something that shall come about not to far from now. Perhaps, even something bad.

Dear diary,
I cant believe this stupid raven. This darn animal is drving me nuts. It has been one week since I last talked to him but he is still sticking around my house. It seems to me that the raven has come to my attention because of my wifes death. I may have to go have a talk with him to see what he is trying to say. Oh I forgot, he only says one word. I will have to brainstorm to make up my mind of what to do with him.

i don't think that this raven will ever be gone, until my wife's sole is at rest. every day i look at the raven it reminds me of her. my wife i miss her so much i can barely live with out her. this bird, this horrid bird. it never stops saying "nevermore". i feel like getting ready to take an axe and cut it's head off. but if i kill it i think that my life will have nothing left. tomorrow i will make a noose and hang my self and it will all be over no more worrying about this bird.

It has been a week since I first met the beast of a raven. My paranoid mind has once driven me angry. I think now i have come to meet peacce with the raven and dealing with its nightly visit.The raven still comes around very often but less frequent, I think its a sign that I should be more calm about the death of Lenore. After all she is gone and nevermore can I do anything about it. I am actually glad that it came around even though it is a reminder of Lenore. What this bird has helped me with is confronting me with the fact that I am by myself now and I have to deal with that.

Dear Diary,

That wretched beast of a raven is still hanging out in MY house. I think I am starting to go insane. He still says that word...."Nevermore". I MUST find a way to dispose of this stupid bird. Maybe a nice blow from my shotgun? The neighbors will wonder of the sound going off. Do I really have the heart to kill this thing? Lenore died... I don't want to kill something and have ME be the cause of it's death, even if it's a bird. But maybe...Yes that's it. By taking my own life... That wouldn't go against anything!

Dear Diary,
It has been a week since the Raven's first visit. Although it has not left. I feel as if it will never leave. Yes the raven shall never leave me. It continues to tell me the nevermore. But it somehow reminds me of my dearsest Lanore. Oh how I miss thee. I fear that the end will come when the raven is gone. Thy bird is loud. So annoying. Oh how I miss my lenore. I wish that the bird will leave.

Josh Fugate said...

The raven reminded me of the love of my life Lenore. When I started seeing the raven I saw a shadow that looked like her, and I think that the raven was trying to tell me somethng. The Raven kept telling me "nevermore", what did it mean by this? At first I thought it meant that I will nevermore live past his visit. Then I began to think and I thought that the Raven meant that I will nevermore see my love, Lenore. I feel guilty for Lenores death, maybe I'm just going crazy and seeing things, my concious is eating away at me. I havn't seen the Raven for a while or even been reminded of my wife. I think it means I will nevermore see the raven, or feel the presence of my dead wife.

It has only been one week since the demonic bird flew into my house. I have tried numerous ways to get it to leave. Nothing seems to work - the bird sits in the same spot above the door and hasn't moved. Every time I see it, I am reminded of my dear Lenore. That bird, that creature, is a symbol of her death I believe. I think that the bird may have been sent to me to make me realize something. I am trying to piece together what "nevermore" means and how it applies to me. I will never see my wife again. I will never feel love again. I will never feel such joy again as I did when I was with Lenore. At first I thought that I would enjoy the bird's company, but now I realize that isolation was much better...

Dear Diary,
Well, its been a week since the incident with the raven. Even though it is still driving me nuts, we have each become accustomed to each other being around. It has even picked up on some of the phrases I use around the house. So, I guess he isn't as annoying as he was before. The raven also still likes to sit up above my door. I don't know why this is, but he wathces me walk by all day, and just sits there. Kinda weird if you ask me. However I have grown closer to accepting the idea that the raven symbolizes death, and that I will die someday. This kind of frightens me, but also reminds me to live life the way I want to.

Taylor Wattles said...

Dear Diary,
I fear that I will go insane soon. This god damn bird won't leave me alone. All it does is sit on my door and remind me of my beloved Lenore. Thats not even the worst of it, all the raven says is "nevermore". I have had several thoughts of killing the de-fenceless raven. However when thinking of killing the bird I realize that it would only make the situation worse and my thoughts about Lenore would become worse. So for now I will try and deal with the bird but as soon as possible I will be getting rid of the raven.

DEAR DIARY,
This raven still hands above my door. Although we are not fully enemies anymore. We have formed a relationship now. Representing one of two newly met. Somehow now, my life has became less jittery. I have less to worry about now that we have formed a mold. I must keep a good relationship now, as i cannot take the pain of lenore once more. I must get aling with nevermore, and hope for less evil no more.

Dear Diary,
Everyday I am awakened by a raven. Everytime I hear it crow its words of nevermore depresses me. As the weeks go on, my depressed state worsens. As the raven says nevermore it reminds me of my wife Lenore. As I grieve about her death, this unbearable raven keeps repeating itself nevermore, nevermore. As I think about it nevermore just says, Lenore will never be back. This makes me furious with the raven. I hope it just leaves and goes away. Nevermore.

dear diary,
last night a very stange event happened. i was sitting in my room and i kept hearing noises at my door, but when i went to answer it no one was there. then there was a tap at my window so i opened it and a raven flew in. it perched itself on top of my door. i would try to talk to it but it only answered with "nevermore". it was very intersesting and frightening at first to have it inside my room, but after awhile i got frustrated because it always gave the same answer to my questions. now after the raven left it has put me into deep thought. i secretly wish he is no longer alive because of his anoyance. now i am left with the feeling of lonliness. lenore is gone and so is the bird.

Anonymous said...

Dear Diary, I am going crazy from this bird that is to persistent. Never more seems to be his favorite phrase and he seems to be a symbol of my lenore. However his attemp to never let me forget lenore is pointless because i could never even begin to forget her. The bird is a symbol of death and everything bad in this world. Although I do think his message is meant to be helpful, the darn bird just makes me not want to listen. Im having a hard time figuring out though why he won't go away. I have heard him say nevermore for the last week and frankly i just might shoot him. Not that the bird is unfamiliar with death anyways.

Oops
Sorry wrong Diary.

Now Seriously

Dear Diary,

This raven is annoying. It keeps on reminding me of my lost Lenore's life. I'll ask it something and all it tells me is "nevermore". It always answers in the favor of something that reminds me of the death of Lenore. Nothing is happening to the raven itself, it just sits there, unintentionally mocking me. I might just be taking everything it says in the wrong way. I think I will stop asking it questions but it still stands there in its demonic ways reminding me of her. Now that I've talked to it and the conversations remind me of Lenore, I look at it and it reminds me of the conversations which lead me back to Lenore. Making me mad. I feel bad about her death, but this pest in my home is just making me crazy. That's it. I can't really say much now but next week I hope its gone.

Dear Dirary,

It has been a week since that accursed raven has came to my chamber and has not left. I have moved to a different room to get away from that bird. I still hate and fear the bird for the troubles that it has caused me. Like from reentering my chambers to grave belongings that I needed I sent a servant to retrieve my belongings. If I enter that room the bird stares at me with those cold unchanging eyes reminded me of that night and my lost angel Lenore. I even tried to kill that thrice-dammed bird to rid it from my mind and the world forever. When I was about to pull the trigger of my gun it looked at me with one eye. It put ice in my body, feeling complete and utter fear, and even more sadness for the loss of my Lenore. With all of these feelings inside of me I dropped my gun and it went off with a BANG. It was so loud it sounded like I had fired it in the middle of the night when every thing was calm. After it went off, I fled from the room realizing that that bird had not moved an inch after the gun went off. I still weep over the loss of my Lenore. Last night, during the dead of night, I awoke because of rapping at my window and I think that I saw a large black shadow that was fluttering there.

The raven has been to my home almost everyday since the first incident, but the fear from its presence still haunts me. Everyday I wake up thinking about what it has said, and turn my back to look if it is there. Usally it turns up when I least expect it, as if it does not want me to forget it. The raven seems like it is welcome here, and it is certainly not. The word, nevermore, is all I seem to think about anymore. That, and my beloved Lenore. Does the raven somehow know? It couldn't be. But, it does seem to know the exact word that keeps bringing up that day in my head. I just wish this raven would leave me alone to mourn over Lenore and to forget the past.

Well that takes care of that. I killed the bird. After nearly a week of listening to its one word which cannot even be said outloud at the moment, it finally drove me insane. The taunting of the evil crature mocked me everywhere I went, constantly reminding me of my dearly beloved Lenore's death. I had mixed feelings about killing the beast because of her but in the end i realized that it must have been the raven that killed her in the first place. So I took care of it. It will never cast its shadow in my door again. However, I am forever haunted by such an evil creature. It seems that where ever I turn, I can feel its presence. My mind has lost its sense of reason. Stupid bird.

Dear diary,
My life is getting worse every second because of this rediculous raven. It seems as if all it wants to do is make me feel so quilty and terrible about Lenore's death. I try my hardest to alk to and hold conversation with this bird but its irritating voice and constant saying of "nevermore" has me feeling so sad of Lenore's death. My question is to this bird and people is what does this saying mean. This question is constantly asked to myself by myself and the blank answer of this question is tearing me up inside. If only the occurance of my loves death was jsut a nightmare all this trouble would just poof away. Oh how much i miss my love.

What does the speaker think and feel now? What has happened to the raven? You must be true to the story of what happens to the speaker during his continual interactions with the raven and his issues over the death of his beloved Lenore.

If i hear "nevermore" another time this bird will nevermore be alive. If i could reach the top of my chamber door the nuisance would cease. I wish that i could shut the bird up completely without it's blood on my hands. I wish after killing the bird i wouldn't feel any remorse. Though i cant help but think about Lenore. I couldn't shamelessly take the life of the bird with out regret from Lenore. I'm not sure it matters because the bird keeps saying "nevermore."

I've become paranoyed, crazy, confused. Nevermore has taken over my body and sent my brain into a state of emergency. I freak at the thought lenore and our chance is nevermore. Like the quote don't sweat the small stuff, who knew this back bird would make me feel as If i had fallen into the sun. But he's still around and everyword becomes more and more clear of my own death and life becomeing nevermore. Unlike the raven I will leave to never return and my life will seize to exsist nevermore.

Mr. Kay,

Dear Diary,

I feel that a shadow has been cast upon my being. When walking in the light, I feel of great tension building up inside me. The raven's words run constantly in and out my mind. The mocking of those pitiful words, "Nevermore", "Nevermore". I have of the worst feelings through my mind that there will come a day on the moonlights rise, that the raven will have a taunting spell run across my very footsteps. My mind is filling of most deep and reminding thoughts of Lenore. Why must this grim life be filled with such pain, the shadows are growing larger at the very footsteps I take toward the window, that lies next to my very chamber door. The door that gave such life until the morning of red, blue, and orange, that of which gleamed upon the surface of which I see. My thoughts are growing weaker as my soul burns to a flame of gold and green, my time is soon to end, as I wait in my chamber, the thoughts about life, and light beyond my chamber door are now to be, and I gregret to say . . . "Nevermore".
