“The Bells” and “The Raven”
“The Bells” and “The Raven” are both poems by Edgar Allen Poe. They are two of the best poems I have ever read. Poe was one of the best poets in his fans eyes. He put hard work and dedication into all of his poems. Edgar liked to use historic words in poems. In the poem “The Raven” the bird was on the window representing something but you don’t know what it is. The poem “The Bells” made me notice it by the bells of the church when you are walking down the street that is how “The Bells” caught my attention. I loved the sound of the poems it is just incredible how he puts those words together. The poems make think they’re the best because the type of words Poe uses. With the words that Poe uses make you really think about what he wrote in the poems. That is what makes me think “The Bells” and “The Raven” are two of the best poems I have ever read. The structure of the poem made me want to read the poems even more. After reading the first couple sentences it just made me want to read the rest of it. That is the kind of effect that “The Raven” and “The Bells” can put on you after reading just a couple of lines. The poem “The Bells” is a memorable moment because it reminds me when I’m on my way to church. “The Raven “is memorable because it reminds me
Edgar Allen Poe’s poems represented his everyday life. Some were about the sad lonely nights and some were about the good nights of his life. He always used chamber rather than bedroom to make poems sound more historic. The Bells was most people’s favorite poem. Poe’s poem words went so well together people just didn’t know how he did it. As of today there are still fans of Edgar Allan Poe.
The Raven represents that something good happened in his life. It also could have meant that something good was going to happen. Edgar could have been being warned that he was going to meet someone new. Edgar often wrote
