Reflecting on Poe
Blog by: Sonny S.
Poe is a very detailed writer. He loves to write short stories. These stories may be short, but really detailed. One story I've read of his recently was, "The Tell-Tale Heart." That story is very detailed, but brings a very... malevolent, nefarious, and an ugly image. I think his writing is insanity. This-this thing, takes him over! Insanity! Insanity. This story might have been about a man with hysteria, a psychopathy mental disorder.
Before I read about Poe, (http://www.poemuseum.org) I didn't know that he had a very hard life. His life has been so treacherous! His parents died when he was around three years old. He was taken by the Allans, who were wealthy tobacco farmers. The Allan's fostered Edgar (Poe's first name was Edgar) while he was growing up. Once he became older, he tried to go to school. While he was in school, his girlfriend had went with another man in Edgar's absence. His life has been, pretty problematic. Which is the reason I think why Poe writes very detailed and dark stories.
So what genre does Poe write about? Poe writes like a poetry horror. If you've ever heard of Stephen King, you'll know where King has gotten his writing from. Poe wrote his stories in the 1800's. When Poe died (October 7th, 1849), someone needed to keep it going. Now there are all kinds of horror novels and books and short stories. All kinds a poems and all kinds of different writing, but there's one well-known person who writes horror. That is Stephen King, so you now can see that Poe has inspired many. But what inspired his writing?
The events that took place in Poe's life were, like I said before, they were harsh. His life was unfortunately unfortunate. So that is probably what inspired his writing. The bad things equal bad ideas, but Poe was smart... he couldn't avoid the negative ideas, but instead, he used the negative ideas to make pessimistic or, negative writing. The writing is very good and detailed, but brings a negative atmosphere. Which I kind of like. He basically mixed the good and the bad, the happy and the sad.
Overall, I think that Poe is a very inspirational man. Poe can inspire anyone who likes or loves to write. Poe may have went through a very long and harsh life, but it did eventually pay off. He is now a very famous man, he may not see it now, but he certainly can feel it. My opinion on Poe was he was a great writer.
