a descent into the maelstrom, The Tales of Edgar Allan Poe

1. A Descent into the Maelstrom, The Tales of Edgar Allan Poe, 2011
2. The general purpose of this book is to tell amazingly written tales with extensive vocabulary.
3. Have not found yet
4. maelstrom - a powerful often violent whirlpool
providence - the control and guardianship exercised by a deity or God, divine intervention.
commensurate - proportional
profundity - depth, infinity
tenure - grasp, hold
5. The book is an okay tale and is not as good due to the hype of the other tales written in the novel. This tale was sort of a let down compared to the others. Although the seriousness of the maelstrom does get intense and pick up later in the story.
