"Disturbed Story from a Disturbed Writer" True or False?

Well, after thinking about the title for a little bit I have come up with a few answered beside just true and false. Yes I think its true because after the video we saw in class about Edgar Allan Poe i learned that most of his closest loved ones died by one disease. (warning this is a spoiler DON'T READ if you haven't read the story)(unless you want to) In Masque of the Red Death the disease known as the red death comes and kills everyone even though every thing was sealed off. As many of you know a lot of Poe's writing disturbed a lot of people. That might of been because of the way he wrote or because he wanted people to feel that way. So the Disturbance of Poe wold be by the childhood he had. you can see that here (first paragraph).People who can wright these don't  have  to have horrible childhood but has to have a strong mind. So False.

  1. I agree with the false side. That is because he was coming from a hurt place and great writing came out of it. He wasn't disturbed but lost. And incredibly hurt.

  2. I agree with everything you said because he was sad from losing every woman he loved. how ironic that it was just ladies he loved died though!

  3. I agree with Brandon he had a hard life. His mom died of turburculoses and so did his wife/cousin. He had the roughest childhood because his dad put him in an orphanige.

  4. I think it is good that people agree with me to brandon is right. It is hard to take in a death and he had to express it some how. Why not make it in to an educational short story on how a the red death can come and take your life away.
