    beings or forces or creatures”. In this sense‚ “The Raven and the First Men” by Bill Reid is a myth because it involves the raven‚ which is a supernatural creature that encounters the first humans. The raven is featured prominently in First Nations mythologies and coaxes the first humans out of the clamshell.

    I have chosen ‘The Raven’ written by Edgar Allen Poe because this poem manifests quite a selection of figurative language. Through his writing style and illustration of words‚ I have observed many examples of sound devices. Such as‚ * Alliteration – When you repeat the first letter or group of sounds in a specific part of the sentence so basically‚ so basically tongue twisters. * Onomatopoeia – Using a word that has the same action as the word * Personification – Giving an inanimate

    Sunlight filters through the windows until the room is painted in hues of amber. The brilliance of the rays overwhelms the shadows formed by twilight‚ driving away the monsters that thrive in its inky depths. The aurora tumbles like fresh snow upon a sheet of unyielding ice‚ doing little to penetrate the December chill that descended overnight. The wintery atmosphere is far away as I open my eyes‚ encased in a cocoon of commodious blankets. For a brief moment in time‚ I am alone. The troubles of

    "The Raven" Symbolism In Poe’s "The Raven" the most obvious symbol is the Raven its self. Why would Poe use a non-reasoning creature to recite the refrain of "nevermore?"

    “The Raven” by Edgar Alan Poe is a relatively long poem‚ and is one of my personal favorites. This poem‚ like all of Poe’s other works‚ speaks of madness and that is‚ perhaps‚ why I find it so enjoyable.
