Poe Reflection

             Live in the 2000s and live in the 1800s have many things that are the same that have survived the years. We still have to go to school to learn how to write, read, and solve mathematical equations. In the 2000s and 1800s we both would of have had to listen to our parent and do what is told from them.  Also many people from the 2000s and the 1800s have a place to talk home and live in.  We still have to jobs to support our families and to pay for thing that we would like to have.  In the 2000s and in the 1800s people were moving to different states to find better opptionties for themselves and their family just like Edgar Allan Poe did.  



              Even thought there are many similarities between the 2000s and 1800s they're many differences. One differences between the two centuries is that now most people travel by car which did not exist in the year 1800s until the year 1885 and still they were not as popular as today. Something that is very different from the 2000s and 1800s is that phone did not exist which would of have helped Edgar Allan Poe get to safety near the end of his life. Another differences is that when Edgar Allan Poe first started to horror genre many people did not read it because they did not like it but now authors make greats amount of money do to the fact that many people like to read it now. A difference is that back then his writing would of have been frighting to a person but now it does not seem as scary to us because of the expansion of the horror genre.  The final difference I will type is that we have developed a cure for Tb which would of have safe his wife.


           Edgar Allan Poe's live greatly effect his writing because event in our lives, leaving us with new ways we see things. One way his life event that greatly effect him is when his fiancee left him for another man because in his poem the raven he takes about how he lost his wife which could be how he feels about losing his fiancee. Another way his life affected his writting is that it is very dark which could because of the death of his mother and father at a young age to show the darkness of his life.  Also when his wife died he became depressed and stopped writing for sometime. An event in his life that might of also effect his writing is when he lived by himself in a cabin that would of have given him a feeling of what feeling crazy because he talked to himself.
