Unit 3

My fall would be dark romanticism although they have similarities to the transcendantalist I don't think that i would exactly feel that reactions happen based on things before it. i'm more of a transcendantalist i feel that if my mind is telling me something it is something that i should do, and not always have i had good outcomes but never horrinble only things that would soon to benefit me. If my head is telling me something i don't just think about over and over agian i will do it because i feel i have to and im supposed to. I've never had evil thoughts so i can't really talk much on that part, but i doubt i will have something in my head telling me to do evil!!!

The story BLACK CAT by Edgar Allen Poe.
I thought the story was kind of normal at first just any old regular happy guy, but the more i read the more i started having predictions on what the story was leading to. I thought it was a very strange story, but how it played out made alot of since! He was very happy at first, but ended in a tragedy. he was very descriptive about what was going on which made the story very interesting, and i don't get into alot of stories!!!!
The way that this story relates to how dark romantics do not agree with the Transcendantalists. Is because he was a man that was very happy at first, and then he got marrired and they had animals, and he would treat the black cat better than all the other animals, but he got very annoyed with the prescence of the black cat being aroundall the time and ended up killing it. Then a new cat came to his prescence and he was ok with it at first, but then got annoyed with it as well to as he was tring to kill that cat he accidentaly killed his wife. M y evidence from the story "Uplifting an axe, and forgetting, in my wrath, the childish dread which had hitherto stayed my hand, I aimed a blow at the animal which, of course, would have proved instantly fatal had it descended as I wished. But this blow was arrested by the hand of my wife. Goaded, by the interference, into a rage more than demoniacal, I withdrew my arm from her grasp and buried the axe in her brain. She fell dead upon the spot, without a groan." Because of the way he treated the last cat it came back to him and killed his wife that was the evil that had came upon him like dark romantics belive us humans have.

"THE RAVEN"
This poem was kind of confusing and boring, but the more you keep listening the more you understande what the man is trying to let you know. The thing that stood out to me was how he expressed his emotions due to the loss of his wife who was dying while he wrote this poem in another room. The raven was very interesting and how he come about through the mans chamber door!
This poem showed anti-transcendental by telling how people can be evil. The transcendantalist did not belive people were just naturally evil they belived that god was the one who spoke through their minds and was telling them what to do, but in this poem God was not the one controlling everything.
Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!"
Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore." This was the guy referring to how the bird was speaking and taken over him and wanted to be happy again. The transcendanalist did not belive in evil and there was involved in this poem and the bird and everything was all in his head kinda expressing his saddness which just shows that he did not have a perfectly clear mind more so insane!

I did the two stories on "a story of an hour" and "the battle of Mr.Convey" and explained which part to you that i liked the most which was realism.

MY STORY!!!
There was a girl named Stephanie she was only 14 years old and had a mama who was an acholic and always sat around the house and didn't even care were her daughter was and a abusive stepdad who always beat on Stepanie till she had bruises and couldn't walk anymore. Stephanie felt like she had nothing in herr life but one thing! which was her boyfriend! That was the one thing that ever made her happy was when she was with her boyfriend, but this later caused complications to her life as well. She had gotten pregnant by him and had no money to support the baby, and had abusive parents who were not going to like the idea of her having a baby. Her boyfriend didn't like the news as well and left her for another girl. Now stephanie had nothing no family, no boyfriend, and no home. She was very depressed and decided she would take her life and her baby's that very night.So that night when her stepdad had went to the store and her mom finally passed out on the couch, she went into a dresser in the living room and got her stepdad's gun out held it to her head and shot herself and took her depression all away.
The social issue abusive parents and could also be teen pregnancy. This represents realism because of the description of the abusive parents and the way she had killed her and her baby's life you didn't have to imagine it, it was pretty clear and descriptive of what happened.

The first standard i used when i wrote my story i used my evidence to backup my point of the story. The third standard i also used because i have wrote a variety of types of writings like poems and short stories they are all different, but they all have a theme or a concept to them.
