To get half of what I'm saying, you have to know/maybe have read the poem I'm writing on.

So read it, you lazy fucks.

Quote
        Edgar Allan Poe had a knack for writing morbidly beautiful poetry.  His themes often revolved around the death of young and beautiful women (credited to the death of his wife, Virginia, who died at a young age from Tuberculosis). At the same time, his poetry flows with rhythm and balance like no other.  In the poem "Annabel Lee," Poe used this combination to his advantage, with repetition and themes of love and death to create a story of a young couple who was torn apart by the young woman's death.  The narrator blamed her death on the envy of the angels, saying, "With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven/Coveted her and me."

   The narrator claimed, "The angels, not half so happy in heaven/Went envying her and me/Yes! – that was the reason.../Chilling and Killing my Annabel Lee."  He believed that the angels killed her, out of envy of the love they shared.  While a definite age is not given, the narrator's statement, "I was a child and she was a child," leads one to believe that he was not very mature, which may have been the basis for his misguided blame.

   Although death came upon Annabel Lee, the narrator says,"we loved with a love that was more than love."  The love that the young couple shared was concrete and steadfast; their love cannot be defined accurately with the word "love."  This was evident when narrator stated that "neither the angels in heaven above/Nor the demons down under the sea/Can ever dissever my soul from the soul/Of the beautiful Annabel Lee."  Even in death, he loved her, revered her, and wanted to physically be with her by staying with her tomb.

   Throughout the poem, notably in the last stanza, the narrator relied heavily upon repetition to show his undying love for Annabel Lee.  He claimed that the moon cannot shine "without giving me dreams/Of the beautiful Annabel Lee" and that the stars made him "feel the bright eyes/Of the beautiful Annabel Lee."  In the second, third, and fourth stanzas, he repeatedly used the possessive phrase "my Annabel Lee," while in the last three stanzas, he varied it slightly by saying "of the beautiful Annabel Lee."  In the early stanzas, he repeatedly used the word "love," eliciting a powerful emotion of love from the reader.

Do your own homework.
I did do my own homework.
There's nothing wrong with getting a second opinion.
Actually, English teachers encourage getting a second opinion on writing.
