PART 2
EDWARD GOREY - "Gashlycrumb Tinies"
1- A short summary of the story itself - One story I like in particular is called "The gashlycrumb tinies" by Edward Gorey. It's a short story that tells of unfortunete deaths of children according to the first letter of their name alphabetically.
2- why & what you like about it? Your favorite part? I like that it's supposed to look like a childrens story/book, but it's actually very disturbing and violent. I don't have a particular favorite part, but the illustrations are creepy and are done with a rapidograph pen.
3- the author -name & where they work now & links to their work - The author's name is Edward Gorey. He was born February 22, 1925 – April 15, 2000. He's no longer alive, but the last project he was doing was a potential film with Tim Burton. No word on whether or not the film is going to be released due to the fact that Gorey died in the process of working on it.
4- what is their education & training - He went to Francis W. Parker school, and he also attended a number of local art schools in Chicago where he was born.
5- how did they get to where they are today? - Gorey became well known for his decieving child stories/illustrations that we're in reality macabre and not intended for children. He was unique for his time, and broke away from the norm of child illustrations.
6- what advice do they have for aspiring writers? - N/A (he never gave advice to aspiring writers. He was considered more of an illustrator rather than a writer)
EDGAR ALLAN POE "THE RAVEN"
1- The raven is a poem/story about a widowed man who is lonely and depressed in his mansion. He is then visited by a raven who says "nevermore" to the man repeatedly, hence driving him to insanity.
2 - I love this story because it is wierd and obscure. It's also beautifully written because it is a poem as well as a story. My favorite part is in the end where the man becomes furious with the one word spoken raven and tries to catch it. But it flies away and the man ends up collapsing. The final sentence is "and my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor shall be lifted nevermore"
3- The author is Edgar Allan Poe, he was born January 19, 1809 – October 7, 1849. He is no longer alive, but was very well known in his time.
4- university of virginia, he was a journalist/american poet
5- N/A
STEPHEN KING "THE MIST"
1 - The mist is a story about how a dimension was accidently opened by the u.s army, and an eerie mist besets upon a small down. Lurking in the thick fog are alien creatures from that portal that was open. The story centers on a man and his son, and how they remain trapped inside a grocery store with other people because they fear the dangers of outside.
2- I love this story because it is scary, and very emotional. My favorite part is in the end where the boy and his father and a few others tried to escape and seek help in a car. But eventually after hours of driving the car runs out of gas and stops. They can hear the creatures closing in on the car. The dad has a gun that has 4 bullets, yet 5 of them are in the car. In thinking he'd give his love ones the easy way out, and leaving himself to be ripped apart by the creatures, he shoots them all in the head including his son. They all gave him consent to do so. They die quick and painlessly, and the father gets out of the car, ready to be eatened. But then, the army tanks come, and burn the creatures. The father had killed his friends and son for nothing.
3 - The auther is Stephen King, he was born spetember 21, 1947 and is still alive today writing horror novellas.
4 - studied english at the university of maine
5 - N/A
