Post 1 Throughout the course, we have been discussing many literary elements. Please select one (atmosphere, character motivation, plot, setting, etc.) of your choice and discuss it in terms of “Sredni Vashtar.”

•Post 2 Much like Post 1 above, please select one element (atmosphere, character motivation, plot, setting, etc.) of your choice and discuss it in terms of “The Black Cat.” One element that we did not discuss is style but here is a mini optional opportunity. Having read two of Poe’s story, do you see any similarities? Based on these observations, can you describe his style in a few sentences?

• Post 3 In similar fashion to your first two posts, discuss “Darkness.”
