The-Raven-Abridged.Pdf
The Raven Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter, In there stepped a stately raven of the saintly days of yore. By Edgar Allen Poe Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he; But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door - Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary, Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door - Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore, Perched, and sat, and nothing more. While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling, `'Tis some visitor,' I muttered, `tapping at my chamber door - By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore, Only this, and nothing more.' `Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou,' I said, `art sure no craven. Ghastly grim and ancient raven wandering from the nightly shore - Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December, Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night's Plutonian shore!' And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor. Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.' Eagerly I wished the morrow; - vainly I had sought to borrow From my books surcease of sorrow - sorrow for the lost Lenore - `Prophet!' said I, `thing of evil! - prophet still, if bird or devil! For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels named Lenore - By that Heaven that bends above us - by that God we both adore - Nameless here for evermore. -
The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe Narration by Michael Douglas Jones Music Composed and Performed by Donald Knaack
A Never-Before Heard Version of “Nevermore”! FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: [email protected] The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe narration by Michael Douglas Jones music composed and performed by Donald Knaack Duration: 00:10:47 Moo Records, a division of The Moo Group, LLC announces the release of the new realization of The Raven, the famous poem by Virginia’s Edgar Allan Poe. The Raven has amassed a huge fan base. It’s taught at most schools and colleges worldwide, yet there has never been an extended-orchestral musical composition created to accompany the vocal performance of the poem - until now. The Single will be available on CD as well as through all major digital distributors worldwide in multiple formats. “The Raven is the first entry in my new POE PROJECT, in which numerous Poe stories and poems will be set to a very diverse group of my music compositions.” said Knaack. The Raven is ripe for live performances and plans are under way for touring, including stops in clubs and venues, as well as collaborations with full symphony orchestras, especially their Pops Series. About the Poem: First published in January, 1845, this brilliant narrative poem became widely known for its melodic, rhythmic, and dramatic qualities, its other-worldly atmosphere, and Poe’s omnipresent use of alliteration (dreaming dreams, whispered word, ghastly grim, et al). This complex and carefully crafted work actually has a simple story line: A raven pays a mysterious visit to a distraught lover. As the poem progresses, the Raven’s constant repetition of the word Nevermore coincides with the lover’s painful lamenting over his undying love for the lost Lenore, which gradually engulfs the lover into a state of madness. -

In the Spirit of the Ancestors: Contemporary Northwest Coast Art at the Burke Museum
In the Spirit of the Ancestors: Contemporary Northwest Coast Art at the Burke Museum. Robin K. Wright and Kathryn Bunn-Marcuse, eds. Seattle: University of Washington Press. 150 pp.* Reviewed by Jay Miller In the Spirit of the Ancestors inaugurates a series from the Bill Holm Center Series titled “Native Art of the Pacific Northwest.” Its eight chapters bring together working artists and scholars from the entire Pacific coastline, assessing developments since the landmark “A Time of Gathering” exhibition and book that marked the 1989 centennial of Washington State as well as the 2006 exhibition with the same title as this book. It also profusely illustrates items from the Burke collection of 2,400 recent Northwest Coast art works. Shaun Peterson’s “Coast Salish Design: An Anticipated Southern Analysis” describes and illustrates with examples his struggles with mastering his ancestral art tradition, despite strong financial and regional pressures to make north coast formline style art, which is recognizable to non-specialist audiences and sells well. Learning from museum collections, older artists, and trial and error, Peterson realized Salish designs were defined by “cutout negative areas…to suggest movement” (14-15). His epiphany came with wing designs, whose key elements are crescents and wedges, not a dominant eye indicating joint mobility. Intended mostly for private and family use, Salish art was not public art, though many aspects of it have now become commercialized as savvy clientele grows within the United States and British Columbia triangle marked by the cities of Seattle, Vancouver, and Victoria. Margaret Blackman discusses the collection of 1,166 Northwest silkscreen prints that she and her husband assembled, which has been housed at the Burke Museum since 1998. -
“The Raven” by Edgar Allan Poe
“The Raven” by Edgar Allan Poe 1 Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, 31 Back into the chamber turning, all my soul within me burning, 2 Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore — 32 Soon again I heard a tapping somewhat louder than before. 3 While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, 33 "Surely," said I, "surely that is something at my window lattice; 4 As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. 34 Let me see, then, what thereat is, and this mystery explore — 5 "'Tis some visiter," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door — 34 Let my heart be still a moment and this mystery explore;— 6 Only this and nothing more." 36 'Tis the wind and nothing more!" 7 Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December; 37 Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter, 8 And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor. 38 In there stepped a stately Raven of the saintly days of yore; 9 Eagerly I wished the morrow; — vainly I had sought to borrow 39 Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he; 10 From my books surcease of sorrow — sorrow for the lost Lenore — 40 But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door — 11 For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore — 41 Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door — 12 Nameless here for evermore. -
George Orwell's FARM a STUDY GUIDE
George Orwell’s ANIMALA STUDY FARM GUIDE Student’s Book Contents About Animal Farm 2 Introduction 3 Before You Read: 4 Chapter I 8 Chapter II 9 Chapter III 13 Chapter IV 15 Chapters I-IV Review/Reflection 17 Chapter V 18 Chapter VI 23 Chapter VII 29 Chapter V-VII Review/Reflection 35 Chapter VIII 36 Chapter IX 42 Chapter X 45 Chapter VIII-X Review/Reflection 47 After You Read: Activities 48 Animal Farm: The Complete Novel 50 DRAFT August 2012 About Animal Farm About the story Animal Farm tells the story of Farmer Jones’ animals who rise up in rebellion and take over the farm. Tired of being exploited for human gain, the animals—who have human characteristics such as the power of speech—agree to create a new and fairer society. The novel reads like a fairy tale, and Orwell originally subtitled it as one, but it is also a satire containing a message about world politics and especially the former Soviet Union. In a satire, the writer attacks a serious issue by presenting it in a ridiculous, funny way. Orwell uses satire to expose what he saw as the myth of Soviet Socialism. The novel tells a story that people of all ages can understand, but it also tells us a second story— that of the real-life Revolution. Since the Bolshevik Revolution of the early 1900s, the former Soviet Union had captured the attention of the world with its socialist experiment. This form of government had some supporters in Britain and the United States, but Orwell was against this system. -

1 The Raven By Edgar Allan Poe 2 Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, 3 Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore— 4 While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, 5 As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. 6 “’Tis some visiter,” I muttered, “tapping at my chamber door— 7 Only this and nothing more.” 8 9 Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December; 10 And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor. 11 Eagerly I wished the morrow;—vainly I had sought to borrow 12 From my books surcease of sorrow—sorrow for the lost Lenore— 13 For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore— 14 Nameless here for evermore. 15 16 And the silken, sad, uncertain rustling of each purple curtain 17 Thrilled me—filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before; 18 So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating 19 “’Tis some visiter entreating entrance at my chamber door— 20 Some late visiter entreating entrance at my chamber door;— 21 This it is and nothing more.” 22 23 Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer, 24 “Sir,” said I, “or Madam, truly your forgiveness I implore; 25 But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you came rapping, 26 And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door, 27 That I scarce was sure I heard you”—here I opened wide the door;— 28 Darkness there and nothing more. -
75Th Art Annual Gallery Guide
October 17, 2020 - January 3, 2021 75th Art Annual Juried Exhibition Art exhibits have been a significant part of the Neville Public Museum's history since its beginning in 1915. This juried art competition began in 1942 during the height of World War II. Originally known as the Northeastern Wisconsin Art Annual, today the Art Annual is open to anyone 18 years or older who lives within the 24 counties of Northeast Wisconsin, or the 14 counties of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. For three-quarters of a century, many of this region’s most celebrated and talented artists have exhibited their work as part of this Green Bay tradition. Each year a new juror from outside the region is asked to guest curate the exhibition. This year's juror was Annemarie Sawkins, PhD. Annemarie is an independent curator and art consultant from the Milwaukee area. Submitted artworks must be original works and produced within the past three years. Many of the selected works speak to the societal challenges of the past year; from a global pandemic to social injustice. Despite the uncertainties of life, we hope this body of work will be emotionally inspiring and mentally healing to all who view it in person. Keep on keeping on! 1st Art Annual Exhibition — 1942 Juror: Annemarie Sawkins Independent Curator & Art Consultant — Milwaukee “Congratulations to the artists and their families, and congratulations to the Neville Public Museum on 75 years of Art Annual Juried Exhibitions. This year 62 artists submitted over 130 individual works of art for consideration. The gallery space for the exhibition however, can accommodate less than half the number of entries. -

Gardner 1 Edgar Allan Poe and Alan Parsons: All That We See or Seem is Nevermore Kimball Gardner Since their beginnings in the mind of a brilliant, misunderstood man, the works of Edgar Allan Poe have captured the imaginations and fears of audiences throughout the world. After his death, when his popularity began to grow, Poe’s works became more widely read and studied by both scholars and authors. As technology began to advance in the twentieth century, his works began to be adapted into short films and later, feature-length films. And, in the late twentieth century, a young progressive rock group named the Alan Parsons Project offered their adaptation of several of Poe’s works. In this paper, I will discuss their work on “A Dream within a Dream” and “The Raven,” from their album Tales of Mystery and Imagination—Edgar Allan Poe and how their adaptation enhances Poe’s effect. -
