For my final project I chose the short story "Fall of the House of Usher" by Edgar Allan Poe.The entry of Wikipedia is:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fall_of_the_House_of_Usher
The approach that I will use to tell this story better is the Psychoanalytic critisicm.
According to Wikipedia "Fall of the House of Usher" is a short story published in 1839. In this story the narrator goes to visit his friend Roderick Usher. Usher suffers from a strange illness and he sends a letter to the narator. The narattors goes to his house and finds out that Usher's twin sister Madeline is also sick. Then wneh Madeline dies, the narrator helps Usher to put her body in the family tomb. After two week in the family tomb she will be permanently burried.After they burried her, a storm beggins. The narators reads story to Usher to keep him calm, but then the house starts to make noices. Usher says to his friend that the sounds are coming from his sister.Then Madeline shows up at the door and she falls on Usher. Both of them fall and the house starts to shake. At the end the narrator escapes and the House of Usher crumbles.
