childrens ability to read, their establishment of
elementary and secondary grammar schools, and the

religiously motivated advances in early American
education. While the twentieth century has brought
about a separation between church and state (in

Edgar Allan Poe Didn Acute T

I have been given the task of comparing three
stories of suspense in three different styles of
writing. During this essay I will discuss the way
each story is written, how and why certain effects
are achieved and what elements contribute to the
mood and suspense of the story. Finally, I will
conclude as to which story I have found the most
successful. An important thing to look at when
studying a story, in my opinion, is the title.
Titles of some stories give away the plots or

within the story. In literature, it is all too
often that characters live only in the jaded voice
of the author and never truly develop as their
own, or are not strongly opinionated in a manner
which contrasts the opinions of the writer. It is
also unfortunately true that the women depicted in
most male-authored literature do not often sound
realistic, or how most women one would speak to in

civilizations and time periods. Historians have
