Answer 1

2. I almost fell asleep when a soft tapping at my door woke me up.
3. I told myself it was just a visitor and nothing to worry about.
4. The tapping came again, louder, so I went to see who it was.
5. I opened the door into a dark hallway and found nobody there.
6. I went back inside, sat down, and blamed the noise on the wind in the curtains.
7. Then something tapped at the window, and when I opened it a big black raven flew in and landed above the door.
8. The bird stared at me without moving, calm and unbothered.
9. I asked the raven its name, and it answered once with the single word "Nevermore."
10. I laughed and thought it must have learned that word from someone unhappy.
11. I started asking the bird questions, half joking, half serious, about where it came from.
12. Each time I asked, the raven repeated the same single word: "Nevermore."
13. At first I was amused, but then my questions turned more personal and sad.
14. I begged the bird to tell me if I would ever see my lost Lenore again, in some afterlife.
15. The raven only replied, coldly and always the same: "Nevermore."
16. Anger and grief took over, and I accused the bird of being cruel and mocking me.
17. I told it to leave and go back into the storm, but it stayed and sat there silently.
18. In the end I was left alone with that bird, which stayed perched above my door, and my hope died away forever.
