When there is a tapping at the door in “the raven” by edgar allan poe, the speaker thinks it is a visitor. the speaker’s fear and curiosity are intensified by
the flapping sound of birds all around him
the flashing off and on of the light in his chamber
the calling of a stranger from out in the garden
the rustling of his purple curtain

"...call a stranger from outside in the park"

When he heard a knock, he looked from the window. And the possibility of strangers outside.

i highly recommend james madison. the work is simple and if you stick to it you can graduate quickly. the work is simple and the teachers are very interactive. the flow of the school work is all on your time so it's not really a dead line. go on their website and look at pricing and enrollment plans. i know when i signed up i got a discount. you pay a certain amount of money every month. it's kind of expensive but i did it in 6 days tops with just my senior year left : )
