Team Poe

I believe the Edgar Allan Poe was a really strong writer. The way he wrote his stories is actually kind of cool. I like the fact that the words he uses add to the dramatic effect. It's nice to be able to read a story that has that chilling factor. It's actually kind of refreshing after reading about nature so often before. I think it's unique how he builds up to the climax, he sets the picture out for you and leads very slowly and steady and then BAM the climax hits. Then, right after the climax the story is basically over. It's a very good tactic to shape your story line that way because it keeps the reader at the edge of their seat wanting to know whats going to happen and therefore they keep on reading on. Poe uses very strong senses to describe the scenes in his stories. It gives a very vivid picture to the reader. I think Poe is a very unique and creative writer.
