Words: 2113 / Pages: 8 .... ways his fame has been
honored . To begin with, “The Raven” holds a dark sense of elegance which

love is visited by a speaking raven, whose repetitious, meaningless answers
torture him to the point of insanity (see Appendix R) (Decoder, Internet).
The feeling of lost love portrayed in the poem might have reflected the

Blood Justice
Words: 1065 / Pages: 4 .... asked Judge Sebe Dale’s to drop the case because a black man was not on the grand jury.
