Edgar Allen Poe was an American poet who was known
for his gothic or horror stories. Some of the pieces he is most known for are
The Tell-Tale Heart, The Raven, and The Fall of Ligea. In most of his stories,
it takes place in a spooky place, and he gives you clues that makes you want to
know more. Poe leaves hints in his writing about his own life. In just about
every story that I’ve read from Poe,
someone dies. I am aware that he lost three loved ones, all in a short period
of time, maybe this is why he kills off people in his story. His wife Virginia
was also his cousin, this refers back to his story “The Fall of the House of
Usher.” In the story, he tells us that the Usher family likes to marry within
the family, in order to keep the wealth. Funny how his uncle left him all of
his wealth right before he died! All in all, I think Poe is a great writer! His
stories are intriguing and leaves you wanting more.
This was good
