Well the homework for this week is definitely going to be interesting.  I have read both stories in the past, but I have never studied dialogue.  The example in the book is a little help, in compare and contrast, but another would have been helpful.

To compare and contrast the two is going to be hard.  Both writers are a world apart in many aspects.  Especially in dialogue.  I have seen Poe's work recreated in a one person play, and it was very gripping to watch as a many claiming to be sane falls apart at the seams.


This is a paper that can't be written on a late night.  I have sat and read and then reread the stories trying to figure out a place to start.  The paper will have to wait until tomorrow to complete.  I have ideas running in all directions of my rough draft and it resembles the true definition of a chicken with it's head cut off.  Hopefully all will come together in the end.
