My "Raven"

     Have you ever lost a loved one? The poem “The Raven” is about a man trying to get over the lose of his loved one, Lenore. Then when the raven comes the man gets angry at it because it sits upon the bust of Pallas, smiling and only saying the nevermore. This makes him angry because it reminds him of Lenore. He soon finds out that when the raven says nevermore it means that Lenore will never return to the house. The raven is also trying to tell the man that he should still be sad but not let it consume his life. At any moment I could lose a loved one, but I should not let the sorrow consume me.
     A lose of a loved one is a tragic thing to happen to a family. Sadness is probably the first emotion that people would have to a lose of a loved one. I have lost two of my cousins to car crash related accidents. I was sad about what had happened, but I had my own “raven”. Not an actual raven but mine was that I knew that they went to a better place. I did cry for a few days but I felt better after I had realized that they had went to a better place. I had found a way to overcome my sorrow thanks to my “raven”.
     Anybody could lose a loved one at any time. This is sad but nobody should let the sorrow from it fully consume them. Everybody should find there own “raven” to help them conquer there own sorrow.

  1. I love how you infered the raven was actually a dead woman. This is one of the only poems i've read and i think you describe it wonderfully.
