The Macabre & Creepy Edgar Allan Poe group discussion

I saw this short story about revenge performed on stage in fifth grade on a school field trip. First of all, what teachers I must've had!!! The theater group made the character being walled-in disappear on stage. I'll never forget it. It was amazing, and I still don't know how they did it.

I read Poe to my students in 5th grade. They are still talking about it. Also a chapter from Moby Dick when we study whaling in the colonies, and soon A CHRISTMAS CAROL by Charles Dickens. Then after the first of the year....Tom Sawyer.....

The ending of this story is quite unnerving to say the least ...wow, I can't imagine this being performed on stage.

I thinkwe studied that around 3rd year high school. And if I read that during grade school, I dont know what I could have said. Although I enjoyed it in hs and opened my eyes in a different kind of genre.
