  4. Biography :D Most people have heard of the famous litature writer named Edgar Allan Poe. He was born January 19th 1809, in Boston Massachusetts. When he was only 2 years old his mother died of turburculouses, so he was sent to live with family friends named the Alan's. Growing up Edgar married his 13 year old cousin named Virginia, when he was already 26 years old. Shortly after the marriage Virginia also died of turburculouses, because of the death of his wife he started to drink heavily. He also write a book called the masque of the red death, which it mainly was about tuberculosis. It was given that title to represent blood.

  5. Biography Many people thought that Edgar Allan Poe was crazy because the things he would write and do there are many many theories on his death, such as him dying of alcohol reasons and mysterious reasons, but all in all Edgar was a great litature, and wrote amazing stories and poems, Edgar died October 7th 1849

  6. Your theory on Poe’s Death My theory on Edgar Allan poes death was, the alcohol theory. People said he died of drinking to much alcohol when his wife Virginia died of turburculouses. Another theory is that he died of bad nutrition and health problems.

  7. Favorite Story • One of my favorite Poe stories is called the “Masque Of The Red Death”, this story symbolizes tuberculosis, because people would die of choking up blood, and then finally dyeing, and Edgar had a lot of deaths involving tuberculosis, like his mom, his wife, his stepfather,, in this story there is a ball going on in a house, and there are seven rooms, each room is a color and represents something, what happens is…….

  8. Favorite Story A man dressed in all black and looks like a dead skull comes into the mansion and kills everyone with tuberculosis, he represents the evil spirit within the sickness.

  9. CONCLUSION I think that Edgar Allan Poe is a exalantwriter and lititure, although when I heard about his life I thought he was a little bit crazy I think his stories are fonamenal, some of my favorites, was the raven and the masque of the red death. I think Poe made a history landmark in reading history no one should ever forget his extrodanerey lituture(:
