A student is writing a report on the life of Edgar Allan Poe, an American author, for her English class. Read both sources and the directions that follow. Source 1: Encyclopedia article on the life of Edgar Allan Poe Edgar Allan Poe's death is a mystery, much like many of his short stories. Ironically, Poe is known as the inventor of the modern detective story, but no detectives have figured out exactly what happened to him in the fall of 1849. It is true that Poe had many sad life events, such as being orphaned and separated from his siblings as a child, his first fiancée and his adopted father abandoning him, his young wife dying, and numerous aspects of his career disappointing him. That said, though, Poe's life was looking up during his last few months alive. He was engaged to be married and his poem "The Raven" had made him a household name. Despite the positive direction his life seemed to be taking, Poe disappeared for several days and then was found in a bar room of a public house only to die on October 7th, at the age of 40. Source 2: Biography of Edgar Allan Poe Edgar Allan Poe was the second of three children born to traveling actor parents. Unfortunately, Poe's parents both died of tuberculosis when Poe was only three, and he and his siblings were sent to different homes to be raised. Poe was sent to the home of John Allan, who was stingy with both love and money. Their relationship was tumultuous, as Allan did not support Poe's desire to write, but instead wanted him to go into business. Because Poe did not do as he wished, Allan sent him to college with barely enough money to live on. Eventually, Poe and Allan reconnected briefly, only to part ways again and never fully reconcile before Allan's death. Question 19 19. The student took notes about information in both sources. Which note correctly paraphrases information from BOTH sources?(1 point) Responses A. Edgar Allan Poe's adopted father, John Allan, sent him to college with barely any money and then eventually parted ways with him for good. A.
