~~~This standard is dealing with a lot of writing, i will have to write essays, narratives, poems, or technical documents to demonstrate what the question is asking.


Short review


*Original Sin - is sin that is past down from Adam and even....


**Transcendentalists did not believe in original sin they believed that everyone was completely pure and was a part of God.....


Which side of the divide do you fall? Are you closer to being a Transcendentalist or a Dark Romantic? Explain your answer with a short paragraph....


I fall closer to the Dark Romantic because I agree with them about the fact that everybody have insanity inside of them all they have to do is want to to bad and they would do. They don't need God to be there to make every decision for them they can use their own mind just like everybody else....


Write a 2-3 paragraph response to the story you read. You should explain what you thought of the story as well as how well it illustrates how the Dark Romantics disagreed with the Transcendentalists. You need to provide at least a line or two of direct textual evidence from the story you chose to prove your claim.



I like the story because I learned about the symbol of death and that you cant run from death or evil because it is going to always be there not matter what. Like in the story they lock their self in the castle to stay away from the red death which symbolized evil and death but even in the castle there was a room that was all black and at night it was red so even tho they ran from the red death the still didn't get a way from it...



The Dark Romantics disagreed with the Transcendentalists in a way that is very likely in these times. Dark Romantics believed that you cant not run from death and evil for ever you will reach them sooner or later. Dark Romantics used the Red Death to symbol evil and the red and black room for death so the prince (which represented the Transcendentalists) tried to run away from the Black death by locking their self in a castle but even then they wasn't rid of the the evil because later on in the story the red death got in the castle and killed the prince. So basically you can't run from evil or death you will have to in counter them both eventually.....




5) This poem was about a man who wife died named Lenore. He is visited by a raven named Nevermore that comes in his house and basically tells him that he will never get his mind off his wife and that they he will never get to hold her again. the raven is a symbol for death and sorrow. A line that stuck out to me was " And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, on the pallid of Pallas just above my chamber door;" because when the man died the raven was still there.

This was a example of anti-Transcendentalist because the whole story/video was about the man trying to get over his wife and wondering why the raven was in his house. A Transcendentalist would have left it up to god to make him feel better. but he asked questions and did thangs to try to get rid of his problems."Deep into that darkness peering, long i stood there wondering, fearing,....","tell me why thy lordly name in on the Night's Plutonium shore!".


Raven was a symbol it represented death and sorrow..." What this grim, ungainly, gaunt, and ominous bird of yore".


I am using standards by

~~~Recognizing symbols and what they stand for "Raven was a symbol it represented death and sorrow"

~~~Using edvence to prove what i have wrote...
