Entry #4

As Usher explains how his sister is alive, she appears at the doorway. She jumps and stabs him, while our narrator sprints out of there. He finally escapes the house and looking back he sees the crack that he saw when he first entered gradually enlarging. It gets bigger and bigger, a whirlwind starts circling around it. The house eventually crumbles to the ground and "close[es] sullenly and silently over the fragments of the House of Usher."

Wow! Good reading, Parker! What a strange story -- and what a serious reader you are for staying with it to the end. (A tough read ... many college students struggle with Poe's style of writing.)
