TEAM EDGAR
I am on Team Edgar Poe for sure. I have read Poe for multiple years, in different English classes, so this may impact my decision to choose Poe because I may have not read enough Hawthorne works to truly appreciate him. On the other hand, the works that I have read, were not my style. They had too much symbolism and deeper meaning for me. Along with too much symbolism, there was too much description for my liking. I am a reader who likes when things are happening in books, and tends to skip over parts of large description in books that have no effect on the plot. Poe is an author who still did some symbolism, but not as much or maybe it was just easier to understand his symbols. I also enjoy his story more because they are creepier and more different. It is not some thing you see everyday. Poe is just easier to understand and has a scarier form of writing.
