  6. Your theory on Poe’s Death The theory that I believe in is disease and medical problems. I believe in it because a lot of people can die from diseases. Also because a trained nurse for cared for his wife said that he a lesion on his brain. It’s also possible that he had suffered some early incident that later implications for his health. This is why I think that the disease and medical problem theory is the most accurate.

  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? • My favorite Poe story is ‘‘The Raven’’. It’s my favorite because the raven repeats never more. In the story the raven fly's into the narrators chamber through the window and perches its self above the camber door. Then the narrator try's to find out way the raven repeats the words nevermore. He use’s suspense by having the narrator ask the raven what it means and then the raven said nevermore.

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

  9. Conclusion (5+ sentences) INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING: Poe is the father of the modern day horror story because his life was screwed up. Also because of all the bad things in his life inspired him to write they way he did. I didn’t make any connections with him or his stories because my life isn’t screwed up like his was. I liked his stories because they were interesting. I thought they were interesting because they had to do with real world thing’s.
