Poe

As I researched into Edgar Allen Poe's life, I found many strange, sad, yet intriguing things. Poe was abandoned at a very, very young age. Poe was always writing and always found a strong passion in writing. He attended The University of Virginia and dropped out before attaining his degree. It could be said that Poe lived a sorrow life, rather than a life full of happiness. Poe's work in writing reflects his life and his experiences. One of his more famous pieces, The Raven, is known to be very dark in nature. It is a really mysterious piece of writing and gives of an ominous aura. Seeing as Poe's life was primarily filled with ominous events and deaths, his dark style of writing is completely justified. Even with Edgar Allen Poe's amazing works of writing and talent in writing, his life proved to be sad until the very end. He was said to have been extremely confused and wandering in the days before his death. As dark and sorrowful Poe's life was, it was his many life experiences and the horrible things he endured that ultimately contributed to his works of art, such as The Raven and many others.
