THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER

"The Fall of the House of Usher" by Edgar Allan Poe is a horror story about the narrator visiting his sick childhood friend, Roderick Usher, and his ailing sister, Madeline, in their decaying mansion. Madeline seemingly dies, but during a storm, she returns from the tomb, attacking Roderick and causing their deaths. As the narrator escapes, the House of Usher splits and sinks into the lake.

review

When I was introduced to the project at first, I thought that all the different sessions working on different tasks regarding the book were useless, but after finishing the work I realize that I was wrong. One of the main difficulties that I encountered during the different sessions of the project was having to write so much, and sometimes I couldn’t find the words that fitted my thought but as time passed, I found the writings easier to do and with the help of dictionaries I used a wide variety of vocabulary to express my ideas. Another thing that I liked about this project was that you could choose whatever book you wanted and I think that is great because when working with things you like it motivates you to do better. All in all, I would recommend keeping this project for future students.
