I think Edgar Allan Poe's life was kind of strange in terms of all he went through and I think all the theories about his death are just odd to begin with. I like most of Poe's works, especially "The Raven" and I think they all have a central meaning to them. I also think some of his strories are creepy and scary, especially The Masque of the Red Death and I sometimes wonder how he developed such an idea to make each story so creepy. I have not really read that many poems or stories from Poe and I never really learned about him in the past, but I am excited to read his famous works and hopefully I can get to know him better.
