The raven is still here, perched on my chamber door, still staring at me. I keep asking it questions about Lenore and how my life will turn out. But all the raven says is, "nevermore". How infuriated I am at this bird! It's presence is always there, on my chamber door, and it sits there and stares at me. Even when I try to shoo it out through the window, it flutters from place to place. I've tried ignoring it, but it always seems to come up on my mind. There is no other way but to occupy myself besides sitting by the fire, reading a book. Some day, I hope that Devil raven will leave.
a raven has flown in into and land on top of my chamber door. Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling,By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore,Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou, I said, `art sure no craven.how intresting this brid is perched on top of my chamber door.when ever i ask it a question about me dear lenore it would respond with "nevermore". as it keep saying "nevermore" to my questions i got more agitated. `Prophet!' said I, `thing of evil! prophet still, if bird or devil! And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted nevermore!
The raven will not leave, but he moves throughout my chamber. He currently rests upon a book shelf, staring at me. I do not ask him any more questions. I fear the answer will always be "nevermore." I have gotten use to it; he has grown on me. I somewhat enjoy its company. I have had thoughts about purchasing bird seed. I do not wish for this bird to leave me. It reminds me of my precious Lenore. How much I miss her so. But for now, I cherish the bird, its company filling my loneliness.
And the raven, never flitting, still sitting, still sitting above my chamber door. I want to continue asking questions but I fear he will answer "nevermore." I am frustrated by his appearence, just sittting there saying not a word. It has been a week and still not a peep. When there is a word its "nevermore." `Prophet!' said I, `thing of evil! - prophet still, if bird or devil. I am still here in lonliness wishing the bird will leave.
That darn raven is still perched on the bust of Pallas just above my chamber door. I still try to ask it questions, but as usual it says "nevermore". I think that it's trying to make me forget my sweet, sweet Lenore. I have actually grown fond of that raven. I think that I don't want to let it go. I have been trying to make it say something else other than "nevermore". It hasn't worked yet. I am determined to make it say something else.

The raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting, On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door. It won't stop sitting, just sitting more and more. Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door. Wretch,' I cried, `thy God hath lent thee - by these angels he has sent thee Respite - respite and nepenthe from thy memories of Lenore. I shall ask thy about Lenore more and more. Quoth the raven, `Nevermore. `Prophet!' said I, `thing of evil! I shall take thy soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor. You shall be lifted - nevermore!
This raven, still on my door, looking at me and just saying nevermore if upseting me. This bird makes me want to kick a baby off a roof. The raven comes through my window and sits on my door like he owns the place. I shall take the beak off my heart and take this form from off my chamber door. Then the raven will be nevermore. Should have told me about my beloved lenore now thy are nevermore. Lying on the floor in from of my chamber door, nevermore.
The raven comes back, day after day. Perching up on my chamber door. I'm starting to like his presence a little more. I don't ask it any questions because i fear he will respond "Nevermore". The first day was spent trying to shoo it out. It is there when i wake up and there when i go to bed. The reason i know it leaves is because the wind woke me up one early morning and the bird wasn't there. I tried to live without the bird but it wasn't the same. So i opened the window and let the bird in. I don't know how much longer he'll be with me, but he's whats getting me to wake up in the morning.
as the speaker i am assuming the main character so that is who i will reference. one week after this happened to "me" then i would still think of that night every single night. the reason for this is because it was a dramatic event that pinpointed a loved one. the loved one im talking about is loren, it talked about how she has past. i also think that the raven stayed in/ around his house taughting him till he goes crazy. also if the raven did stay in/around his house then he would have took all means to eliminate the bird. this is what i thought of the raven.
I am starting to become frusterated at his Raven. It is still her perched on top of my chamber doors. I am finding myself constantly talking to this bird and asking it questions. Such as about Lenore and about the meaning of life, but this raven countinues to just say "nevermore." I have tried countless times to try to shoo the bird away and back out my window where it can from. But the raven still countinues to just fly back and perch itself onto mt chamber doors. It's stares are making me feel paranoid. I always feel its presence. I hope this demon of a raven goes away.
the raven has left, with not a word other than nevermore. But i still feel is dark foreboding preseasons. I feel very lonely, and cant stop looking up to see if its there. After i left the room, and came back to check on the bird, it was no longer there. Although the bird is gone i still feel like he is saying never more. never more will i see lanore. For some reason i wish to see the bird agen, but fear he will still leave me answer less. Nevermore, shall i be happy until i see lanore.
I open my window, in fly's this raven. Who purches on my chamber door. This raven who cannot help but repeat the words nevermore, will not leave my presence. I ask this bird to leave, but still it sits upon my chamber door. Nevermore, these words never leaving my mind. I ask the bird questions. But all it will say is "nevermore." try as i must to get the bird to say somthing more, but nothing more is said by this devilish bird. Oh how I wish the prophet of a bird would leave my my chamber door.

A raven was tapping on my window. I ask the raven questions about my lost love and my future. The raven only knows of one word, "nevermore." This bird leaves me no answers. It makes me so angry! The existence of this bird is just here and I don't know why. When I try to get the bird out, it just comes back. The only thing I can do is sit back and read my book of lore. How do I get this bird off my chamber door?
Just like a bad thought that doesnt go away neither does this raven. I ask it questions all day and night thinking it might give me an answer, but to my luck it does not. The only word the raven speaks is "nevermore" and its driving me crazy. I want to know about Lenore and how this all happened, but this bird taunts me bringing rapid memories of her back to my continuous thoughts. Every where i look or go whether it being morning or night the raven is there. Watching my every move with its bold eyes on that perch. I wish for this bird to leave me alone and wish Lenore would replace his spot.
I have now almost gone insane because of this bird. This raven is perchd on my door and wont give me any answers. "Nevermore" is the only thing that comes out of his mouth. I ask him about the one thing I love the the most, Lenore, the only thing he has to say is nevermore. I want this bird to leave but the only response is, nevermore. I want the real answers in life. Why wont this bird leave!
The raven, still there upon my chamber door. If only I could ask it questions without getting a response of "nevermore". And he will not go away. I continue to see him day after day. I have tried to look past it, but it just never goes away, always seeking my attention. He flutters around my chamber with nothing good to say. One day, I am hoping that raven will leave and i'll be on my way.
