Cask of Amontillado

Masque of the Red Death

The Necklace

Masque - Edgar Allan Poe

Voc 4 Test today, Thursday, 10/22 

1. Edgar Allen Poe

www.PHSchool.com (use web code: eqe 9210)

Edgar Allan Poe- Born 1809

One of the first great American storytellers

His work helped define the  term "Short Story"

Lived a tragic life

-orphaned at the age of 3

-Lived with a foster family -The Allans (his middle name)

-They paid for his college - However, they stopped paying when Edgar ran up gambling debts

--Married Virginia Clemm- died from tuberculous in 1887

-Poe became antisocial and depressed

-Was found delirious on a Baltimore street and died three days later- 1849

2. Students will discuss the Red Death: 
-Ring Around the Rosy: Ring around the Rosy? Yes, you read it right. Most all of us know this common nursery rhyme, but do you know where it originated? Ring around the Rosy is actually a song about the Black Plague that originated in England. It says, "Ring around the rosy" meaning the red, rosy rings that form around the sores when you are infected. "Pocket full of Posy" resembles the sweet-smelling herbs, called posies, that were placed in peoples' pockets because they thought that bad smells contracted disease. "Ashes, Ashes, we all fall down" is translated to be the massive amounts of death and cremation of bodies during the 14th century in Europe when the disease broke out. Not such a fun and friendly nursery rhyme anymore, is it?

-Facts about the Black Death- http://facts.randomhistory.com/2009/06/09_black-death.html

3.Students will learn about Symbolism-
Students will read in their packet located in their GC

Allegory -
An allegory is a story intended to be read on a symbolic level.  In an allegorical story, the characters, settings and events are intended to have meanings independent of the actions in the surface story.  For example, a story may stand for the entire world.  In fact, the entire story can be seen as a symbol representing a truth about a condition of life. 

Now it is your turn: List as many symbols as you can and indicate their meaning
