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>

The narrator visits her new school for the first time .what does the narrators first encounter with the school setting indicate
Bad White [126]

Answer:

I think its based on perception. Like if the narrator comments on the people, setting, look, then you could say they're superficial however this could also mean that they value their own image or how they look to others.

If the narrator comments on the "aesthetic" and the aura they get, (the typical stepping into a new area and a gust of wind flies through their hair), this could mean they're easily intimidated or passive.

Lol this is a very vague question but I hope this helped!
