Though Poe's stories told of madness, Poe is now recognized as a genius who reinvented the Gothic tale of mystery and horror for his age.
Today we had an introduction horror stories. Students were asked to work in small groups and they answered these questions:
1. What are some famous Japanese horror movies?
2. Is it important that the writer be 'mad' in order to write good horror stories?
3. Are black cats 'evil' in Japanese society?
4. Name a few Japanese superstitions?
5. What is an Omen?
We will be in the PC room Tuesday, October, 30th
