Edgar Allan Poe was a talented poet who was famous for his poems and short stories. In fact, Poe was such a great writer that he was able to have a career through writing alone.

Throughout many of Poe’s poems imagery is used to help readers visualize a picture in their mind of what is happening and understand the emotion of the poem.
On a “midnight dreary,” the persona reads in an attempt to forget the passing of “ the rare and radiant maiden … Lenore,” when he hears a knock at his door. Although the sound startles him, filling him with “fantastic terrors,” he eventually builds up the courage to answer the door, only to find nothing but darkness outside. As the persona stares “deep into … [the] darkness,” he starts “wondering, fearing, / [d]oubting, [and] dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream” before whispering the name of his lost love, Lenore.
Many times in literature multiple authors will speak about the same topic and many times differences in opinion can occur. Though the opinions differ from each other the writings came be equally logical and admirable. An example of this occurrence would be the writings of “To Helen” by Edgar Allen Poe and “Helen” by Hilda Doolittle. In Poe’s poem he demonstrates his admiration for Helen and her beauty while in Doolittle’s poem she demonstrates a strong hatred towards Helen and her beauty. Though both poems illustrate differences in opinions both pieces of writing are greatly written and give great views of opinions.
Nevertheless, “as his uninvited visitor begins to occupy more and more psychic space, his appearance grows, by turns, alarmingly mournful and manic,” until nature breaks in as a form of a bird (Turner, 141).

In Night, Wiesel not only uses the word night as symbolism for gloom and hopelessness, but he also uses it as imagery to describe the miserable days. In chapter seven he states that “The days were like nights, and the nights left dregs of their darkness in our souls.” (Wiesel). Instead of simply saying the days were dark and the nights were darker, Wiesel takes a few words to describe just how dark and melancholy the hours felt.

The young boy said, “I took my seat in a third-class carriage of a deserted train. After an intolerable delay the train moved out of the station slowly. It crept onward among ruinous houses and over the twinkling river”. After the long wait, evident of the “intolerable wait” from the quote, for the train to start moving he starts to get really bored and is now thinking that this quest will not be as fun as he thought.

Through out this semester we have gone through so many readings. The readings were different types of readings. These different types of readings were things such as poems and full on stories. In my perspective all of these readings were all wonderful, the reason why these readings were wonderful is because as you read these poems and stories you get a sense of what the writer is trying to convey.

This entire page has just proven my point, why the so-called “moon landings” were fake. I mean, yeah, you may have gone to see the rocket launch in person, but that rocket could have just gone out of view, into space, then exploded or orbited the moon or gone somewhere else, etc. I think you should now agree with me that the landings were
Now, for the non-believers, including me, there are many facts I have dug up so let’s start with this one. One thing I found is that if Neil Armstrong was really the first person to land on the moon, then who filmed him getting off the lander from outside the lander? If he were to be filmed, I would expect it to be from the inside the lander. Next, It was said that the astronauts that went to the moon trained for the gravity for the moon in a fake environment, so could the whole have been filmed from that very place?
This book was absolutely phenomenal. The quirky characters and the close relationships they had with each other pull in the reader. It uses suspense to keep the reader constantly guessing what will happen next.

They compared the two videos and still found some small differences so it is impossible to film this on the earth. Based on the Mythbusters results they concluded that NASA did land someone on the moon and that all the conspirators were wrong. All pieces of evidence that the conspirators tried to use to prove that NASA faked the landing was actually proving they did land on the moon. Using their data they were able to say that the footprint was real and that the flag waving happens in no gravity because there is nothing to stop the movement. All of these situations therefore prove that NASA went to the
