CREATIVE WRITING
Mia Hagerty Explains Poe Day
On Monday, November 7, my second period class had an "Emo Day." One of Mrs. Stanton's Creative Writing students suggested this and we all agreed that in would be a great idea. We decided that it would be a creative way for us to really get into our reading and to be more "in character."
We dressed in dark, gloomy clothes and did our makeup dark. Some of us were more into it than others but everyone still looked good. Seniors, Ashley Ewert and Olivia O'Brien were very into the theme. Both dressed down completely and everyone was so happy to see them having so much fun with school work. Ashley turned a black t-shirt inside out and put white duck tape on it that said, "Perfect Boys are only in Books," she also wore a black wig, a hat, and a
black and white flannel. She, as she does for everything in her life, went all out and had a great time.
There's a reason behind the madness though. We were reading stories and poems by Edgar Allan Poe. We read The Raven and The Tell-Tale Heart. We took turns reading sections and explaining what each section meant. The stories, as well as most of Edgar Allan Poe's writing, were dark, depressing and scary. We dressed down to represent this darkness. Even though we dressed and looked dark, we were happy to be at a school that allows students to express themselves creatively while still learning.
