All the choices, if those r choices, r the same
Talented confident and conceited.
I heard a bird sing
In the dark of December.
A magical thing
And sweet to remember.
"We are nearer to Spring
Than we were in September,”
I heard a bird sing
In the dark of December.
Review the two poems.
How does the structure compare in both poems?
Both poems have two stanzas.
Both poems are about birds.
Both poems use similes.
Both poems use metaphor.
1. a focus on fear and horror
2. an exploration of strong emotions
3. a reliance on mystery and suspense
Poe creates fear, horror, mystery, and suspense when the narrator says that he killed the old man, then describes the events leading up to the old man's death. He explores the strong emotions or the narrator's madness as well. There are no supernatural creatures or events in the passage or in the entire story so 4 and 5 are completely incorrect.
