English

Virty [35]4 years ago

The poem is about personally inflicted pain due to loss of love (like a breakup) "is there a balm in Gilead?" is actually a Bible reference, Gilead is a part of modern day Jordan, known for it's healing ointment. The narrator is really asking if there is any healing.  The narrator continually asks dark questions of the raven fully knowing that the answer is always, "nevermore" therefore inflicting a sort of mental torture. Some people cut themselves, this guy asks birds what they think.

How might this written story differ if it were turned into an audio version?
kumpel [21]

Answer:

If a written story were turned into an audio version, it would likely differ from the written version because it would add more depth to the words if someone is speaking them, especially if it is a story.  Hope this helped!!!
