secrets in a bottle

edgar allen poe, ms. found in a bottle
pg 324-336

This short story by poe is actually another good one. He talks about how he don't talk to his family anymore. But its really about storms and how he see's Ships that are bad like big black ones. He examines the ship and find's nothing because the ship knocked him off his ship and he hid in the vessel for a little while. At the end his ship went down and couldnt do anything about it. If you were on this ship with the narrator what would u do to safe your self?

Good post Matt and great ending question. Poe tends to make you think hypotheticaly sometimes about what you would and would not do to save yourself.

Sounds pretty interesting.. the question you bring up at the end makes you wonder.What would you do?

I'm not familiar with this story, but I'd definitely carry around a life vest. I'm a bit confused as to the details of your post. What kind of ships does he see? Are they ghost ships?

Proofread too, as there are a few errors in here (Poe is a person and deserves to have the first letter of his last name capitalized.)
