For your second blog post, I am going to ask you to perform a CLOSE reading on Edgar Allan Poe's short story The Oval Portrait. Consider Poe is discussing how obsessions can lead to dangerous situations. In particular, pay attention when annotating the text on WHAT Poe wants you to feel concerning obsessions (mood/atmosphere), HOW he gets you to feel that way concerning obsessions (expression of content), and WHY it is important to write about these things (obsession can be dangerous).
The prompt: In a 250 word response, answer the following:
Discuss the "dangers of obsession" by examining Edgar Allan Poe's content (what the story is about) and expression (how the story is expressed).
Use the CLOSE handout you received at our sessions for help on knowing what to annotate. Use the "content vs. form.pdf" form above to help you identify the differences between content and form.
