The Raven - Edgar Allan Poe's Classic Tale of Lost Love
มุมมอง 35ปีที่แล้ว
Poe's 'The Raven' is a classic of American Gothic Literature. A carefully planned poem in 100 lines with a complex set of rhymes and rhythms. Poe's own study of his poem can be found here: pdcrodas.webs.ull.es/fundamentos/PoeThePhilosophyOfComposition.pdf Versions by Vincent Price, Christopher Lee, Christopher Walken and Bart Simpson all show the ways in which the story can be told.

Review of Beyond Heaven's River

Reading not just a book but the other material in it such as the dedications can provide big clues as to the origin of the tale told. In this case Greg Bear's book, Beyond Heaven's Reach uses a Japanese character steeped in his own culture to tell a story of cultural alienation, self-discovery, love, jealousy and mysterious alien motivations.

    Thanks for the great video! I’ve never worked with Desmo before and this was exactly what I needed! I’m a game dev working on how characters experience scale as they level up, and I wanted to create a desmo graph with sliders to visualize the required experience a character would need to level up from level a to level b. This will help my team understand how large experience rewards should be for certain parts of the game!

  • @ssake1_IAL_Research

    Edgar Allan Poe never wrote "The Raven," he merely claimed it in a kind of 19th-century "identity theft." The poem's premiere was submitted anonymously to "American Review" under the pseudonym "---- Quarles" by the true author, Mathew Franklin Whittier, younger brother of poet John Greenleaf Whittier. Poe, a critic for the New York "Evening Mirror," finding the poem in an advance copy of "American Review," scooped Mathew in his own paper by two days. Mathew had shared a copy of "The Raven" with Poe in early 1842, so Poe had a handwritten copy in his possession. This enabled him to convince his editor that he had permission to scoop "American Review"--but he mysteriously left the "Mirror" shortly afterwards (suggesting that he may have been fired for lying about it). It is the height of absurdity that the editor of a newly-launched monthly literary magazine like the "Review," would have given a daily newspaper this permission. The real author was not in a position to reveal his identity because of his anti-slavery work and connection with the Underground Railroad, and hence could not publicly defend himself. See my paper, "Evidence that Edgar Allan Poe Stole 'The Raven' from Mathew Franklin Whittier," or a more condensed version intended for scholarly journals, entitled "Edgar Allan Poe’s Plagiarism of Mathew Franklin Whittier’s Poem, 'The Raven,'" each of which can be downloaded from the following links. They can also be found by searching for each paper's' title on Academia.edu. www.ial.goldthread.com/MFW_The_Raven.pdf www.ial.goldthread.com/MFW_The_Raven_condensed.pdf

      Thank you for taking the time to comment and pass on your references. What you recount might or might not be true. I think the evidence is in favour of Poe's authorship. I'm happy to let academics argue about the provenance. It remains one of my favourites and other works by Poe have similar atmospheric aspects. Poe did, however, write an excellent and, I believe, convincing essay (The Philosophy of Composition) explaining exactly how he made every single choice of word for every single line in The Raven, with an explanation of how he considered aspects such as effect, length, impression and rhyme during composition.

      Lots of politicians are vaccinated. The point is very few deaths or serious injuries have been attributed directly to the vaccines and many fewer deaths or serious illnesses as shown in the paper. On a humorous note I do think we should try out some truth serums on out politicians.

    • @tomspoors768
      @tomspoors768 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      The description starts at 2:44. The code is typed as: 0<=y<=f(x){a<x<b}. This is in two part: it shades all values of y that are greater than 0 but less than the function (f(x)). The bit in curly brackets is the domain of the function which is limited to the values a and b. You can just change the inequalities (< and >) to change where the shading occurs. You can add a second shading to combine different areas to get the area that you want as I have done starting at 3:26. This just switches the inequalities around. You can change colours by holding the mouse over the shading symbol for a few seconds.

    • @tomspoors768
      @tomspoors768 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I suppose to get trapezoids you could set up some different domains for the function but whether you could then change the bounds I don't know yet. It sounds like the next challenge.
