So I know were not supposed to comment on our in class books, but I just have to say that Silver Fin is actually quite interesting and I strongly recommend it. I read a book called Tales of mystery and Horror. It is basically a collection of horror stories by Edgar Allen Poe. It is very creepy and I like his dark writing style (I'm not a creepy dark person I just find it entertaining.) He has a very old fashioned kind of writing voice which makes it hard to understand sometimes. He uses strange words that I can't really think of right now, but I think you catch my drift. My favorite story is tell-tale heart. It's about two men. Edgar Allen Poe writes from a young man's perspective. He is freaked out by an old man's eye. The story basically describes how he murders the old man and cleans up perfectly. Then the police come. They can't find any evidence so they just have a nice conversation. The he hears the man's heart beating. It gets so loud that he freaks out and admits to murder. I thought that it was interesting because it was kind of weird how the old man's eye creeped him out. I also thought it was interesting because the story picks up pace as you go along. At first it's kind of boring, but it gets creepier almost like the increasing noise of the man's heart. If you are going to read it, I recommend you read it before you go to seep. It's interesting to see how it messes with your dreams.
