  4. Biography on E.A. Poe(slide 1 of 2) Edgar Allen Poe was a crazy and weird righters and artist. He is an amazing poet that has poems such as “Annabel Lee” (1849). Evan though he wasn't a known well named person when he was alive he would be a famous person today.

  5. (slide 2of 2)

  6. Your theory on Poe’s Death I think how Edgar Allan Poe died was a complete Mystery he could of died in many ways. He could of got drunk and wondered of in the streets and a guy running from the cops could of knocked him down and demanded a trade in clothes, maybe that’s why he had clothes on that didn’t nearly fit him. My other theory his kidneys shut down by drinking to much alcohol . Which when you do drink to much alcohol your Kidneys will shut down from working to hard to process the alcohol And that’s why you get drunk is because your kidneys are trying to tell you to stop drinking and if you still continue u will die.

  7. (With 10+ sentences in paragraph(s) form)-Choose your favorite “Poe” story that we have read and summarize the storyline. Explain how he used suspense OR symbolism. How does it add to the meaning? (Slide 1 of 2)

  8. Finish paragraphs on your favorite story (slide 2 of 2)

  9. Conclusion Edgar Allan Poe was a very scary guy that impacted the today horror movies cutting up the guy and living with his heart beat duuduump duuduump is scary stuff. I don’t think I can make any connections with him except a step dad but that’s all. He Was a brilliant, crazy, creepish, weirdo And has what I think the best poetry and stories I've ever heard . He was an alcohol addict which probably killed him but that could of what been behind his Masterpieces.
