Poe, Hemingway, and Atwood

After reading Poe, Hemingway and Atwood, I realized that two (Poe and Atwood) out of the three writers are some of the most dark/gothic and descriptive writers. After reading the selection by Poe I felt like I had just been in a horror movie. It was dark, gruesome and eerie. I felt the things that made the story dark was the sound of the words and the type of words he chose to place together. Poe also used super short sentences and then some long sentences to help build suspense. As for Atwood, she uses parenthetical writing, something I don't read every day, and that added a sort of suspense as well as the feeling of being in someone's head and hearing their "dark thoughts". I liked reading her poem because it was different from something I would normally read. She has a way of twisting her thoughts to make the reader surprised and scared (for lack of a better word).
As for Hemingway, I think of his writing as an American Classic. I have always loved reading his books. I find his writing to be very simplistic. Hemingway's writing, I feel, is made for everyone to read. There is not a set reading level that someone must have in order to read and comprehend what he's literally saying; although all of his stories have some serious underlying theme/story/argument. Unlike Poe, Hemingway uses simple descriptions, and characterizations, his writing can still be "seen". What I mean is that the reader can still in vision the things and people that Hemingway is describing.
