4. biography • The biography of Poe's life was that he is crazy. That’s all. He Married his cousin. He always drank. He was always being crazy. But he did write great stories such as the raven, tell tale heart, mask of the red death, the fall of the house of usher, alone and The Conqueror Worm But he did have some bad stories people said. I’m not very sure what it is that they were but I highly doubt that they were bad stories. he was always getting into trouble also. he was being found

5. Biography continued On the side of roads and streets. he also was soiling himself. during his life many of his family members had died from the red death. his wife(cousin) had also died from the red death. his father hated him. he never made a bad story I think he had went to the university of Virginia. he died at the age of 56.

6. Your theory on Poe’s Death Nobody knows for sure how he died. But I think that he might've died from alcohol or old age. Or maybe he went crazy and just killed himself just maybe……..

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 story was the mask of the red death. The story line is mainly death. Many people were killed by a illness in the story. The illness was called the red death. It killed them within hours. It would fill your lungs with blood until all you could breath was death itself. It adds to the meaning of the story because it is always talking about the red death. Like how it says at the end the prince has finally met the red death himself. But then it kills him when he tries to kill it. Then all of there people are so angry that they all go to kill him and to unmask him. But when they do such a thing there is no face their. There was nothing their at all.

8. Finish paragraphs on your favorite story • Then all of there people are so angry that they all go to kill him and to unmask him. But when they do such a thing there is no face their. There was nothing their at all.

9. Conclusion (5+ sentences) • I think he is the father of the modern day horror because he made the most awesome and the most scariest stories ever, he also had a difficult life which helped him make these stories because he was crazy. But I don’t think he did it alone. I think that he had someone help him with his stories and poems that are remembered now. Maybe it was his wife. Or it was his dad mom friend but who knows he might’ve done it all by himself.
