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."
</span>
Once this effect has been determined, the writer should decide all other matters pertaining to the composition of the work, including tone<span>, </span>theme<span>, </span>setting<span>, </span>characters<span>, </span>conflict<span>, and </span>plot<span>. In this case, Poe logically decides on "the death... of a beautiful woman" as it "is unquestionably the most poetical topic in the world</span>

Write an argument against the idea of using controlled fires to protect wild areas
nataly862011 [7]

Our forests are 'kept in check' by using controlled fires. When our wild areas can be destroyed. Native plants and animals are pushed out of their homes to not go back for years. Certain aspects of the forest can take up to sixty-five years to regenerate. While this may not seem long to the universe, this can be a life time for us. Yes our forests need fire, but they can do it themselves. Before people came along our wilderness was keeping itself in control for millions of years. But now humans step in and believe that they need to take over everything. We are already cutting down forests for trees and unnecessary housing. So why do we need to get rid of it more? Fires can handle themselves. Forests know what they are doing. But do we?
