Annabel Lee

It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of ANNABEL LEE;
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.

I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea;
But we loved with a love that was more than love-
I and my Annabel Lee;
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven
Coveted her and me.

And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
My beautiful Annabel Lee;
So that her highborn kinsman came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulchre
In this kingdom by the sea.

The angels, not half so happy in heaven,
Went envying her and me-
Yes!- that was the reason (as all men know,
In this kingdom by the sea)
That the wind came out of the cloud by night,
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.

But our love it was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we-
Of many far wiser than we-
And neither the angels in heaven above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee.

For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling- my darling- my life and my bride,
In the sepulchre there by the sea,
In her tomb by the sounding sea.

Edgar Allan Poe

COMPARING THE BOOK FORREST GUMP TO ITS MOVIE VERSION

COMPARING THE BOOK FORREST GUMP TO ITS MOVIE VERSION ELINE ALVES SANTOS MARIA LAURA CAVALCANTI RAYANE FERNANDES English IV In this essay we make a comparison between the book Forrest Gump, by Penguin Series written by Winston Groom and retold by John Escott, and the movie starring Tom Hanks in 1994. We are going to highlight the main differences between them. Our focus was on two characters: Forrest and Jenny. We noticed great differences between them in both works. American movies usually have romantic viewpoints about their stories. So, in the movie, Forest is retracted like a hero and he seems to be less idiot, his IQ was only three points under the expected one. Despite of his ingenuity, he was an independent man and he had a lot of success in his life. He studied in a conventional public school, and then he finished university, and also was a famous football player (played for the American University Team). Later, he became a soldier (after finish
