Togolese Flag

As a first generation american myself, although I do consider myself more of an american more than anything else, I always claim African all day long versus and "american black". I know a lot of African kids that claim black versus what the really are, and your probably thinking what's the difference well there is a major difference that i really don't feel like explaining. I think me claiming African is major way a give honor to my heritage. Also with eh food I eat

fufu and such, and of course with the language i speak, ewe, though i can't speak it all that well, but i understand every word of it, my mom won't let me forget that but. I proper balance of two cultures, i think would be a 5 foot 9 and a half inch black kid around my skin tone, i think, after all i pretty sure I've found a good balance, i'm american enough that no one seems to question where i hail from, but if any ever asked i'm more than happy to tell them my origin and a minimum of three fun facts about it, i feel i genuine pride of a country and culture. I love being foreign, its like exotic, i'm not like everybody i stand out, and who really likes just blending into the
back ground any way.        
     

The Fall Of The House Of Usher

"The Fall Of The House Of Usher", by Edger Allen Poe is apparently the outline of most haunted house stories follow. If I had to produce a horror story based on the "The Fall Of The House Of Usher", i would copy the aspects of the number a creepy house, a weird family, unnecessarily long suspense, little explanation, and of course miraculous survival of the main character.

Creepy house exhibit A

In the beginning of the short story, the main character describes the feeling that the looking upon the house of Usher gave him as "[an] insufferable gloom that pervaded my spirit", the most important part of any horror/ haunted house story of move of whatever is the creepy house. The dirty hell hole of home that on first glance, just like the main character of the house of Usher the reader/listener should scared immediately, with should look at the house know that somethings wrong here. Despite the time of day the house should always look dark like there shadow covering it 24/7, noises should always be echoing all around whether your inside or outside the house.The second things every haunted house needs is a creepy family to occupy the dark foreboding house. The house of Usher is a perfect example of a creepy family, inhabited by a brother and sister slash lovers, that come from a family of family of brothers and sisters slash lovers. The brother having some sort of disease that ages him and makes him crazy enough to bury wife slash lover alive. The creepy family is an absolute must. ext of would use the unnaturally long suspense lots of horrors are known for and "The Fall Of the House Of Usher" does perfectly forcing the reader to what is probably equivalent to a life time,  before anything remotely interesting in the slightest. You have to keep the reader/ watcher guessing and bored giving hints of something exciting, but then dismiss the thought with six more paragraphs of absolutely nothing. Fourth I would use the tool of of little to no explanation of nothing whatsoever. I any ever questions your distentions just simply say "art", or "answer with another question like "What do you thing?." This a strong point in the house of usher, it leaves you with so many question. Was is sister really dead? Was she a zombie? Was she a ghost?
Who are the Ushers? Why did their family tree have no branches? How didn't the main character no the girl wasn't dead? Why did the house collapse? How did the main character make it just in time to survive? That last question brings me to my last point, the unexplained miraculous survival of the main character, that would never happen inside of reality. Really? He ran out just when the house fell apart?
