To place the events in chronological order as they appear in "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe, the correct sequence is:
- The narrator is reading alone at midnight.
- The narrator hears a knock at the door.
- The raven perches on the bust of Pallas.
- The narrator curses the raven and demands he leave.
So the order would be:
FIRST: The narrator is reading alone at midnight.
SECOND: The narrator hears a knock at the door.
THIRD: The raven perches on the bust of Pallas.
FOURTH: The narrator curses the raven and demands he leave.
