Imagine your one love that you care about has died. Feeling so hopeless, you don’t know what to do about it. All you can do is think of all the great memories you two had together. But you can’t do anything about it. In this short, complicated poem, “The Raven,” Edgar Allan Poe showed that instead of hoping for something that will never come back to you, you need to give up and move on.
The narrator fell in love with the girl of his dreams; that girl would be Lenore. He hoped that she would come back to life but she will never come back. But he just doesn’t understand that . “Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating no longer” said Poe. Although his soul grew stronger hoping for Lenore it was darkness at his chamber door. All a dream, and no more. “Shall be lifted nevermore,” quoth Poe. Finally, Poe is realizing this was all a a dream and she cannot come back. His heart will never be lifted anymore. In other words, he will always be depressed.
When you hope for something that will never come back to you, you need to give up and move on in the poem “The Raven,” by Edgar Allan Poe. Obviously, the woman of his dreams is gone and can’t take the death back. Furthermore she will be in heaven and you have to move on.

I really liked how you used text evedince with this story. Also I got an idea of what the Raven is about. Although there was one part that I wondered about, the line where you said When you hope for something that will never come back to you, you need to give up and move on, that made me really think about that it is hard to move on and to let it go. But overall good job.
