WEBQUEST

1. Edgar Allan Poe was born in Boston, Massachusetts on January 19th, 1809. Poe died in Baltimore.

2. Poe was left as a orphan at the age of 3. I think that that definitely influenced his writing because he was left at such a young age.

3. Poe's death is unknown but some people think that he died from delirium tremors, heart disease, syphilis, meningeal inflammation, cholera, even rabies.

4. Edgar Allan Poe calls Virginia home.

5. The Poe society doesn't like the claim that Virginia was his homeland because he lived in Baltimore for most of his life.

6. The US Military Academy of West Point expelled Poe.

7. Poe married Virginia Eliza Clem Poe who was 13 at the time of the marriage.

8. I think that for him to be marrying a girl that young is outrageous. Now a days that's illegal!

9. Murders in the Rue Morgue is the first detective story.

10. The 'Tell Tale-Tale Heart' and 'The Black Cat' were written in 1843.

11. 'The Raven' was written in 1845.
