My favorite authors are Edgar Allan Poe and Ralph Waldo Emerson. I am a fan of the story of Edgar Allan Poe, entitled "The Cask of Amontillado. It is a nerve-wracking story and though provoking. For Ralph Waldo Emerson I love his poem entitled Rhodora. I like the lines where Emerson compared Rhodora to a Rose. It is a very lovely poem that relates to the beauty of nature. I also like Emerson's other poem, entitled " The Road Not Taken."
