It's very difficult to find a way to create your own identity but to be able to be respectful of the culture you were brought up with . Me, I am still a lost case, I think I still don't know how to create my own identity, it's a struggle every single day. If you grew up with parents like mine I would love to meet you, so here it goes. My parents are strict and very overprotective, they question every single thing I do, they need to know were I am every single minute of the day. But out of both of my parents my dad is the worst he is the type of mean who believes that women are responsible for everything that has to do with the house, that they have to stay home, he is a perfectionist, but at the same time he encourages me and my sisters to keep studying and go to college get a career and graduate,
    This is what makes it difficult for me to break out but I want to do it. If there was a way to be in the middle it would be when you listen to your parents pay attention to them and you try not to make them feel terrible, but at the same time you are honest and you tell them that you want to be you, and that if that means going a different way then what your parents taught you they are going to have to understand. You have to communicate with them, and let them know who you really want to be, you have to let them know that your going to try to follow their culture but at the same time your be your true self no matter what, That what being in the middle has to be like, how it's supposed to feel.

Edgar Allen Poe

One of the things that Edgar Allen Poe did amazingly well on his story " The Fall of the House of Usher", was how he wrote the story from the point of view of what seem to be a very normal ordinary guy. But by the end of the story he has the readers confused and thinking, they start asking themselves if what the narrator was saying did in fact happen at all in the story, you wonder if the guy was sane at all. This makes readers question everything the narrator said, their minds start to wonder if any of this happened and readers end up confused thinking that the protagonist was insane himself.
        Poe is also very descriptive in his story, the way he describes the scene at the beginning when the author first lays eyes on the Usher house. He has a way that makes the readers see the story the way he sees it, he makes the readers feel as if they were in the story. His imagery captures the attention of the readers, he is able to transport them to another time and place. Poe makes some words sound like spell that will make you fall into the story like a dream.
       Also, the fact that he is able to write horror stories again and again without losing his touch. He was always capable of coming up with new details that were very original and they were his own. Allen makes the stories seem more realistic then they are, he captures your attention on every turn he makes, and he has you wrapped around his fingers. Also how he is able to make every story better than the one be for it, he never appears to disappoint his readers.
       Another thing that Edgar does is the way he twists his story that leaves the readers wanting more to understand the story being written. He starts writing the story one way and in the middle of it he makes a huge twist that changes the entire outcome of the plot. Poe makes the story take turns anyway he wants and it captures the attention of his readers completely.
       Altogether he has a way of surprising the reader, I think that when he feels that he might loose the attention of his readers he changes the story in some ways that are very dramatic and it brings new readers in. Even though in some ways he is very predictable you can never actually know how he had decided to write the story either the way he thought was right for the reader or in the way he wanted to write it. However, being able to think that you could imagine hoe he had decide to make his next move no one can really know how he came up with this incredible stories. He was able to keep the mystery alive that some writers and normal people wished they had.
