"The Raven" is a poem written by the American writer Edgar Allan Poe. It was first published in January 1845. The poem is often well-known for its musicality, stylized language, and supernatural atmosphere. It tells of a talking raven's mysterious visit to a troubled lover, sketching the man's fall into madness. The lover, often identified as being a student, is lamenting the loss of his love, Lenore. The raven seems to further distress the protagonist with its constant repetition of the word "Nevermore". The poem makes use of folk, mythological, religious, and classical references. In his Poem The Raven, like in most of his work, Poe depicts horror and a sense of schizophrenia, but his short story deals primarily with the psychology of guilt.

Answer:

So I think at this point its quite clear... The American Dream has died... it was buried back sometime between 1955 and 1995 depending on who you talk to...But one thing is for certain, which is that its never coming back; not in its more traditional white picket fence, and solid corporate job form anyhow. And I for one am ecstatic....! Not for the total lack of economic security aspect, (which is distressing) but for the fact that people will be forced for once in their lives to try and define what it is that they really want out of life. Hope this helps!

Picture 1:

It makes me smile when I think about this memory even a year later. It happened in an unexpected place and I was surprised at my own actions. One hot day, I was on my way home after going to a job interview. I was thinking of meeting my uncle for lunch first so I took alternative route through some neatly-cut grass to reach the shopping mall. To my surprise, my eyes spotted something unusual on a patch of grass.

Picture 2:

Curious, I went nearer to the object and realised it was a wallet. I picked it up and opened to see the contents inside. The wallet contained money and important identification documents belonging to the owner.

Picture 3:

I was tempted to take the cash for myself and discard the rest of the wallet's contents. However, good overcame the greed in me and I looked for the address in the identification card so I could return the wallet to the owner. When I reached the address, I found him looking anxiously for something outside the door. I called to him and asked what he was looking for. He told me he had lost his wallet so I showed him the wallet I had found. His face lighted up as he checked the wallet's contents and verified it was the wallet he had lost. He was pleased at my honestly and we had a short chat. I told him I was looking for a job as it was hard these days at job interviews. This young man turned out to be a manager of a big company that I had tried to apply for but got rejected. In return for my good deed, he offered me a job there. I landed a job at a company I liked and it was the best day I ever had.
