The Power of Mother Nature

Dear Mr. Poe,

I enjoy your writing very much. It is dark, but exquisite and your ideology of being guilty, until you are proven innocent is very interesting. In your short story the Black Cat, the narrator disrespects mother nature by harming an innocent cat that kept on "annoying" him. After killing the cat, the narrator was condemned with karma. This karma led to him killing his own wife and therefore being sentenced to death. Whether you are cheating or disrespecting it, mother nature always wins in the end. This is exemplified in my short story The Birthmark, as Aylmar (the main character) tried to also cheat out nature and failed. His failure ultimately resulted in the death of his wife.

Sincerely,
Nathaniel Hawthorne
