Edgar Allan Poe

Walt Kelly wrote a parody poem called "Deck Us All With Boston Charlie" in the style of Edgar Allan Poe. It was published in his comic strip "Pogo" on December 20, 1953. The poem mocks traditional Christmas carols and is reflective of Kelly's humor and wit.

One of the first American writers to become popular and famous in their own country was Edgar Allan Poe. His dark and macabre stories and poems captivated readers and helped establish a uniquely American literary voice in the 19th century.

The line "Man, you should have seen them kicking Edgar Allan Poe" is in the last verse of "I Am The Walrus."

Poe was left an orphan at the age of 3 and was adopted by a wealthy and childless merchant named John Allan. He lived in England from 1815-20. He went to the University of Virginia in 1826, but he dropped out of school and by 1827 was living in Boston and began writing. He enlisted in 1827 and rose to Sgt. major by 1829. In 1830 he was admitted to West Point, but was dismissed from there. By 1831 he had his 3 book of poems published and had moved to Baltimore.

Due to lack of solid evidence for a date of birth, there's no definitive age for Rosalie Poe at her time of death. Her tombstone says she lived from 1812 to 1874, making her 62 at time of death.

He had no parental affection. His Dad left before he was two, and both his natural parents died before he was three. His foster father often clashed with Poe about money and infidelity, among other things, and he didn't include Poe in his will.

1. There are many images that linger in my mind. One of them is an innocent young woman getting killed by the jealous angels' poisonous breaths that were in need for the narrator's and girl's love for each other. Another image I have is a gust of wind blowing out a candle. The candle represents Annabel Lee and the wind represents the jealous angels. Another one is the narrator lying by the girl's grave.

I do not have specific information on an individual named Edgar Compton or his family members.

When the narrator and his wife were going down the cellar one day (for no apparent reason), their new cat follows them and nearly trips the narrator. In a rage, the narrator grabs a nearby axe and swings at the cat, only to be stopped by his wife. So then he turns to her and burys the axe in her head, killing her instantly. Not wanting to be caught, he debates a bit about what to do with the body, eventually deciding to bury her in the wall of the cellar. He takes down the old wall, puts the body inside, and builds the wall back up in an almost exact copy of the old.

He keeps her body in the cellar wall for a number of reasons. One, she was his wife, and he loved her, even though he abused her. Two, despite what he says in the beginning, he's crazy, and only crazy people think of hiding the body of a person they murdered in a place no one else would think to look for it. Unfortunatley for our narrator, this proves to be his undoing.

It sounds like you believe in a static view of human nature that has not significantly improved over time despite our efforts. While it is true that humanity may still face many challenges and limitations, it is also important to recognize the progress we have made in various aspects such as technology, science, and social equality over the years. Human history has shown that individuals and societies have the capacity to learn, grow, and evolve, even if progress may not always be linear or consistent.

True. In "The Fall of the House of Usher," the narrator's visit to the house does last for several hours. The narrator spends time exploring the house with Roderick Usher and engaging in conversations with him before the climax of the story.

Coins are an older form of leaving flowers, a practice prompted by the heavy Romanticism. Also for respect, or it came from the older tradition of giving money to Charon (the "transporter" of the underworld) to get passage past the river "styx"

The Red Death in "The Masque of the Red Death" causes its victims to die within thirty minutes of showing symptoms, with profuse bleeding from the pores as a characteristic sign. This swift and gruesome progression of the disease illustrates its severity and indicates that it is a horrible plague.

Yes, Edgar Allan Poe wrote several poems that are not centered on themes of love. Some examples include "The Raven," which explores themes of loss and grief, "The Bells," which focuses on the passage of time and various stages of life, and "The Raven," which delves into the concept of mortality and the afterlife.

Mostly in Richmond, Virginia but his foster family also spent time in Scotland and England. Also, most of his first three years were spent traveling in the US with his actor/singer natural parents before they died.

Lenore is one of the symbols Poe used throughout his writing to refer to his older brother, William Henry Leonard Poe, who Edgar was always looking up to. He based many of his writings off of his older brother's works. By rearanging some of the letters in Henry's name "Leonard", one can conclude the name "Lenore". Also to support this, although Lenore was written as a woman in Poe's literature which suggests Virginia (his first wife), Lenore was "lost" and many of Edgar's poems and short stories depict a seafaring life by the sea where his "lost Lenore" was laid to rest. Henry was a sailor for most of his life and was buried by the sea (much like Anabel Lee), obviously circling the idea that Lenore is a direct reference to his meritime brother.

No, Edgar Allan Poe did not win any awards for "The Cask of Amontillado." During Poe's lifetime, there were no prestigious literary awards like we have today, so he did not receive any formal recognition or awards for his works.

No. Consumption, or tuberculosis, caused the death of Poe's wife Virginia, but not his mother's. Poe's mother did die of a lung ailment, but according to a family member it was pneumonia, not tuberculosis. Poe's mother had no history of having tuberculosis.

Edgar Allan Poe was known to have a distinctive style, often dressing in tailored suits with waistcoats and cravats. He was keen on fashion and liked to wear dark colors such as black and gray, giving him a somewhat mysterious and somber appearance that complemented his writing.

Black and Red the colors of Death and Murder.
