Horror story

   I am honestly really confused with this blog so bear with me if the thoughts come out a bit scattered and hard to follow. I believe we are just supposed to identify 5 tactics Edgar Allen Poe uses as a haunted house story writer, but the whole pretend Mr. Thomas hired me thing is throwing me off so I'm just going to choose to ignore it and vaguely state my points.

     Okay so the first aspect of Poe's story that I liked was the exploration of things that are usually considered taboo. In Fall of the House of Usher this would be the incest. I'm not necessarily saying INCEST IS WHAT MAD E IT GREAT, but the uncomfortable aspects of the story help set the mood because horror stories aren't supposed to really be welcoming. Mentioning some necrophilia or something in a horror book might actually help to set the mood a lot.

     The next thing that I felt as though Poe did well was keeping the reader confused. If the reader is confused in working out the logic of the world then they will be even more suprised towards the end when something painfully obvious is revealed and they wonder why they never caught on. Poe did a good job of distracting the reader from the small stuff that ended up being not so small.

     Next is the setting. Every horror story needs a depressing setting that creatures of the night would thrive in. If the story was based in the world of rainbow dash I doubt it would be half as creepy as it was. A depressing and hopeless atmosphere is always good.

     Finally the last thing that i feel that Poe did well was with his characters. The two main characters of the story seemed like they had the life sucked oit of them. A character with a low will is easy to break and in a horror story thats a good thing and I think poe did this really well.

   Okay so finally done with this blog post im sleepy goodnight.

  

So just realized that this didnt post SO FUCK YEAH 5 POINTS MISSING OFF MY AVG LAST 6 WEEKS fml like really I knew did this shit I was wondering why there was a 0 here but fuck it thats life. Did this shit for nothing FUCK BLOGGER UGH im raging.

5 things we carry

     So its about a week late but, I'm finally doing this blog post to keep my ap lang grade from taking another 5 point nose dive towards a minimum wage job position. Tragic. According to the assignment this is supposed to be about 5 things we carry referring to physical objects, dreams/ goals, relationships, personality, and memories. Doing this in bullet points f¥€£ a paragraph.

       Physical - so I like bracelets and ever since my hair got long i usually do carry a hairband especially for work since i have to keep it back, and as far as bracelets go They often break or fall of somewhere besides this one made out of rope that doesnt come off and has a funny backstory. So 2 years ago I brought a straw hat. I loved that lil straw hat. But then one day I made a horrible deal with a bridge troll named bria and loaned her my treasured hat ignorantly. I fucked up. When the evil troll gave me back my hat it was ruined with only pieces of it left after enduring the bridge troll's trip to the water park and I made my lil old bracelet from that lil ol' straw hat. Yep life. Does this count as a memory?

     Dreams/Goals - So as far as my goals go most of the time it's pretty much just: I'm fucked I'm fucked I'm fucked I'm fucked I'm fucked. So not too much to write here maybe biomedical engineering but you know likely hood of that working out is close to shit so yeah. Life.

      Personality - Awesome sarcastic and witty like every other kid claims to be. Not really. Apparently im awkward. He would of thunk it? And people who have yet to actually talk to me tell me some pretty outlandish views they've had of me, so that always helps. Mostly I feel as though I'm more of a background character or maybe not background but reoccurring guest appearances twice a season.

     Realtionships - Single af. Mom out the house most of the time. Dad is dad. (Yes I know my dad and regularly see him in case someone was jumping to conclusions involving typical black stereotypes) Bridge Troll or Sister is alright. Not much there.

     Memories- I remember way too much. Most of the time I just act like I forgot something because it's much more convenient to come off as forgetful. Competent people can take the work load im just a guest character here. I don't have too many memories that really stuck to me as life changing errmahgerd what is life kinda stuff so yeah.

So thats that. I typed this on my phone and the red correction lines aren't showing up so sorry for any misspells or typos that make the special kids twitch.
