Fall of the House of Usher

In the Fall of the House of Usher, the house looked gloomy and dull. It looked like it was disease ridden and scary. Inside, it was the same. Dull and Gloomy, just like the narrator's friend, Roderick Usher. He was very depressed and not energetic. Because of this, the narrator spent his days at the house trying to cheer Roderick up. Occasionally, Roderick played guitar and read stories while the narrator listened. Roderick's sister died of an unknown sickness and was buried in the tombs below the house. Then, suddenly while Roderick was reading a story, the sounds of the story could be heard within the house. Roderick was scared that he may have buried his sister alive. Suddenly, when the window opened a door, he saw his sister in white robes and covered in blood and attacked Roderick. The narrator escaped, and the house collapsed. My favorite quote in my favorite part was when the narrator said, "And now, some days of bitter grief have elapsed, an observable change came over the features of the mental disorder of my friend. His ordinary manner had vanished".
