   -Penguin Readers, level 3 -Time: 80 minutes -7 Words: terrible, weak, whirlpool, storm, wine, orang-utan, letter -Discussion Questions: 1. Have you ever seen whirlpool? No, I haven't. It's very dangerous, but I want to see it once. 2. What do you think people have little dangerous animals? If they have them safely, it's okay. They have to think other people's safe and live. -Penguin Readers, level 3 -Time: 80 minutes -7 Words: terrible, weak, whirlpool, storm, wine, orang-utan, letter -Discussion Questions: 1.

   Basic Plot: An ancient family home falls apart as the family itself does. (Plus more stories) The Fall of the House of Usher is a study in suspense and madness. I love Poe's work and the way he crafts stories. Basic Plot: An ancient family home falls apart as the family itself does.

   Poe's masterful horror comes out again in this story of dead people coming back to life and incest. It's really quite disgusting, but one of Poe's best, I would say.

   Muy interesante! Aunque los policiales me aburrieron un poco, los de terror estuvieron fabulosos, adore el final de "The Maelström" Muy interesante! Aunque los policiales me aburrieron un poco, los de terror estuvieron fabulosos, adore el final de "The Maelström"
