Read "The Oval Portrait" by Poe.If you forgot your book, there is an online copy available here.
We will be discussing "The Fall of the House of Usher" on Friday, and this is a pretty long story. I advise getting a head start on this reading as soon as possible. For Usher, you should be gathering evidence of places in the story where REASON seems to be emphasized and well as moments where ROMANTICISM (the unexplained) is emphasized.
