The Fall of the House of Usher


1.Well if I had Super natural powers that synced my mind to a sister that seems to die and then comes back to life then I would be weak and nervous. We know that throughout the whole story usher has these with psychiatric problems or could they just be feelings that are forced on him by his sister who is attached to him mentally by some unknown force. He struggles with these problems and they effect him heavily in the story. They make him physically sick and make it to where he cannot live throughout his life like a regular person. His sister does seem to come back to life so I could see how people would think that these problems come from the two being almost synced together.

Socratic Questioning

 

•Close ended- What was the original reason for the trip that the family went on?

•Open ended-When does the climax happen in the story that changes everybody's mood?

•World connection-In this current time how would the reactions of the family change?

•Uni/core-What is the term for family time and what relevance does it have in this story?

•Lit analysis-How does the authors style play off in this story? Do you think they should write more pieces of this kind?
