Uh, I'm not going to write the paragraph. Try Poe's own somewhat disingenuous description of his poem in his essay "The Philosophy of Composition"(www.eapoe.org)or the many articles on The Raven at www.poecentral.com.

First sum up the actual plot line and then what is happening to the narrato. What does the Raven stand for regarding to his haunting memory of lenore? What mood, theme or final statement is Poe trying to create with his techniques?
