Poe believed that all literary works should be short. "There is", he writes, "a distinct limit... to all works of literary art - the limit of a single sitting." He especially emphasized this "rule" with regards to poetry<span>, but also noted that the </span>short story<span> is superior to the novel for this reason. 

</span>The essay states Poe's conviction that a work of fiction should be written only after the author has decided how it is to end and which emotional<span> response, or "effect," he wishes to create, commonly known as the "unity of effect."

This means that it will be used in a sentence where the subject is another person (not yourself.) In this case, the subject is "person," which is singular and not yourself. What if the subject of this sentence was "people" instead of person? We would use "have" because the subject is now plural!</span>
