it is actually older than alice in wonderland, the characters didn't know the answer but the classic solution is "poe wrote on both" because edgar allen poe wrote about the raven and he used his writing desk.

I have heard of it. I live in Pennsylvania.\n\nI always thought that the Hatfields and McCoys were the real names of the Capulet and the Montague families...LOL\n\n*NOTE*\nIf you actually understand the Shakespearean reference in my answer, you are probably WAY TOO SMART to be hanging around Yahoo! Answers.\n\nIf you are now wondering what the hell I am talking about...keep clicking away here at Yahoo...hoping that some day your thousands of Yahoo! points will actually be worth something!!!

summary:\n\nScout (Jean Louise) Finch lives with her brother, Jem, and their widowed father, Atticus, in the sleepy Alabama county of Maycomb. Maycomb is suffering through the Great Depression, but Atticus is a prominent lawyer and the Finch family is reasonably well off in comparison to the rest of society. One summer, Jem and Scout befriend a boy named Charles Baker Harris (Dill), who has come to live in their neighborhood for the summer, and the trio acts out stories together. Eventually, Dill becomes fascinated with the spooky house on their street called the Radley Place. The house is owned by Mr. Nathan Radley, whose brother, Arthur (nicknamed Boo), has lived there for years without venturing outside in daylight.\n\nScout goes to school for the first time that fall and detests it. She and Jem find gifts apparently left for them in a knothole of a tree on the Radley property. Dill returns the following summer, and he, Scout, and Jem begin to act out the story of Boo Radley. Atticus puts a stop to their antics, urging the children to try to see life from another person’s perspective before making judgments. But, on Dill’s last night in Maycomb for the summer, the three sneak onto the Radley property, where Nathan Radley shoots at them. Jem loses his pants in the ensuing escape. When he returns for them, he finds them mended and hung over the fence. The next winter, Jem and Scout find more presents in the tree, presumably left by the mysterious Boo. Nathan Radley eventually plugs the knothole with cement.\n\nTo the consternation of Maycomb’s racist white community, Atticus agrees to defend a black man named Tom Robinson, who has been accused of raping Mayella Ewell. Because of Atticus’s decision, Jem and Scout are subjected to abuse from other children, even when they celebrate Christmas at the family compound on Finch’s Landing. Calpurnia, the Finches’ black cook, takes them to the local black church, where the warm and close-knit community largely embraces the children.\n\nAtticus’s sister, Alexandria, comes to live with the Finches the next summer. Dill, who is supposed to live with his “new father” in another town, runs away and comes to Maycomb. Tom Robinson’s trial begins, and when the accused man is placed in the local jail, a mob gathers to lynch him. Atticus faces the mob down the night before the trial. Jem, Dill, and Scout, who snuck out of the house, soon join him. Scout recognizes one of the men, and her polite questioning about his son shames him into dispersing the mob.\n\nAt the trial itself, the children sit in the “colored balcony” with the town’s black citizens. Atticus provides clear evidence that the accusers, Mayella Ewell and her father, Bob, are lying: in fact, Mayella propositioned Tom Robinson, was caught by her father, and then accused Tom of rape to cover her shame and guilt. Atticus provides impressive evidence that the marks on Mayella’s face are from wounds that her father inflicted; upon discovering her with Tom, he called her a whore and beat her. Yet, despite the significant evidence pointing to Tom’s innocence, the all-white jury convicts him. The innocent Tom later tries to escape from prison and is shot to death (though it might be that he tried to escape so he could get shot deliberately because he wanted to die looking like a hero. However, in the book, it is said that he could've escaped if he had two good arms instead of one). In the aftermath of the trial, Jem’s faith in justice is badly shaken, and he lapses into despondency and doubt.\n\nDespite the verdict, Bob Ewell feels that Atticus and the judge have made a fool out of him, and he vows revenge. He menaces Tom Robinson’s widow, tries to break into the judge’s house, and finally attacks Jem and Scout as they walk home from a halloween pageant at their school. Boo Radley intervenes, however, saving the children. Atticus at first believes that Jem fatally stabbed Mr. Ewell in the struggle.

I would imagine it would have to be Shakespear. Even though I love other poets such as Edgar Allan Poe, Shakespears writtings have become more popular and widely distributed. I have no hard facts, but, I would imagine this to be true since so many allusions to his work come in so many movies and songs. Entire movies are made of his writtings. I could, however, be wrong since it is only my own mere speculation.

www.writing.com is a great site, one of my favorites.  I just posted a story there a couple days ago called The Twilight House.  The site has thousands of stories and poetry and books to read.

No, I don't think so. Many people, especially with a long term illness choose to die at home. I know of many who have and the surviving spouse or relative hasn't mentioned anything. It's sad, maybe, and uncomfortable to be in a house where someone you love has died, but it's not haunted. I think people are naturally afraid to live in a house where a tragedy may have occurred, but it's not haunted, just creepy!

You're right, if you used Edgar Allan Poe's stuff that would be plagiarism.  Asking other people to do it for you isn't much better....    Use your imagination. You have the castle idea, go with that , picture yourself walking around in that haunted castle..  what do you see, what do you hear, how do you feel? Now write it!!!

Well, Edgar Allen Poe's job is safe.... but I totally understand the point and sentiment.  I've grown weary of liberals  bemoaning our "cruelty" in Iraq and our "unconstitutional" treatment of playing loud music to people who are not even citizens(and enemies at that-- who major news media will NOT show disemboweling and beheading Americans), while ignoring torture chanmbers and mass graves of  the Iraqi dictator.\n\nSo, I'll pardon the poetry and give you a thumbs up.

First guess:\n\nIt's symbolic of either a tomb or a corridor to the next world.\n\n"Usher's painting is of "an immensely long and rectangular vault or tunnel," foreshadowing the third image of a tomb, the real one of Madeline's temporary burial. What Poe has constructed therefore is a kind of mise-en-abime (story-within-a-story)--tombs being represented within tombs. The implication, especially once the entire House of Usher sinks into a new grave below the tarn, is that the world itself is a kind of crypt. "  (First link.  Also see second link, eighth paragraph.)\n\n\nSecond guess:\n\nIt represents a fear of sex.  (Third link, sixth paragraph.)

The classic answer to this riddle posed in Alice in Wonderland is that Poe wrote on both.\nNot dumb so much as old-fashioned, no?

How about Gary William Crawford?\n\nHe's American (although from the South, rather than New England) and he writes dark (maybe even Gothic) poetry and short fiction.

Go to your library or the county annex and get help looking up property deeds and find out. I would say being built on a cemetary usually doesn't make it haunted as spirts like to hang around the people they know and their old homes, unless they are lost.

There is one on Claypath in Durham City, not sure of the name. It is opposite the theatre complex.
