The Murders in the Rue Morgue: and other tales | Edgar Allan Poe

This story was kiddo‘s latest school reading, and I read it to her because she struggled with The Purloined Letter‘s dense writing. She‘s been unimpressed with Poe in general, and really disliked the beginning of this one.

Today we finished it, and I wish I had a picture of her face when the solution was revealed! 😤 She was LIVID, absolutely disgusted with the way it worked out.

I spent some time on explaining its importance 👇🏻

ravenlee mostly as an influential piece, but on the detail of the detective thought process. Y‘all, she is still mad at me. 😆 She keeps asking if we can read some more Jane Austen instead, because at least that was “kinda interesting.” 3w

Ruthiella Jane Austen it is, then! 😂 I would love to know her take on Emma! 3w

ravenlee @Ruthiella I‘m torn! I mean, obviously Jane Austen forever and I want to encourage that; but also I need to teach what she needs to know, not just what she wants to do… 2w

Ruthiella @ravenlee For what it‘s worth, I hate the ending to that particular Poe story too. 😅 2w

ravenlee @Ruthiella legit - there‘s a reason I haven‘t read it since I, too, had to in seventh grade. I‘m either perpetuating generational trauma, or teaching legitimate literary studies. Or both. 2w
