Personal Narrative: The Raven

311 Words2 Pages

It was just a normal day for me. I woke up, ate breakfast and waited outside for the bus. As I waited, Jenna (Joey’s Sister) had Joey on her back . As they approached me I thought to myself, Shouldn 't Jenna be on Joey’s back? Anyway the bus came and half an hour later I was in R and R in Mrs. Cieslak room.

I got out a pen and paper and started to write this story. After R and R I had science. Science was the usual. Our teacher taught her lesson but as usual nobody understood it. I was the smart one but I said I didn 't understand it so we don 't get homework. See I 'm smart.

Next period is ms. Gaven’s! So basically in Ms Gaven’s . Well I can 't really explain it but all you need to know is that its 120 minutes of total awesomeness.

    Analysis of an implied meaning of the raven in “The Raven” The raven should actually be a symbol for melancholy, clearly because the student is over obsessed with harming himself, so he continues to ask questions about Lenore to the bird despite knowing that it only speaks the same one word, “nevermore”, the use of the refrain “nevermore” gives a sense of emptiness to the place (which makes the ambient for the poem), and he never realizes that the raven is indeed portraying him.
