'How Edgar Allan Poe’s Writings Illuminate His Upbringing Essay\r'

'My thesis statement is that Edgar Allan Poe’s literary works crystalize his nurture. His belles-lettres illuminate his up directing because his childhood was truly hard, blanket(a) of sullenness, and he neer experienced love from a parent. Therefore he thought the world was like his livelihood was, trace and dreary. So that is why his stories are always sad, and full of heartbreak.\r\nThe writings by Edgar Alan Poe are for the near vox sad, tincture, dreary, and mysterious, they are just like how his life was. by and by the age of two Poe neer had real parents only(prenominal) people who looked after him after his parents died. He didn’t write out if his home was only temporary or if it was for good, for every he knew the people he was spirit with could kick him out of their category and stop encouraging him. He lived his life daytime by day not have it awaying what the attached day would bring or if he would have a house to live in the next da y.\r\nHis time to come was never certain, he didn’t have anything in life to look forward to, and he didn’t know where his life was leading him. Just like in his book â€Å"The Cask Of Amontillado” where Montressor leads Fortunato d throw a dark set of circling stairs, and Fortunato doesn’t know that Montressor is leading him to his future which is his death. That is like Poe’s life because Poe doesn’t know where his live is heading just like Fortunato doesn’t know where he is going walking those dark stairs. E realthing in Poe’s future is dark and dreary, not clear as to what is going to be next for him.\r\nWhen Poe was younger he went to the English and Classical train which the sons of upper class families attended. Since Poe came from a relatively low-down family, he didn’t feel like he fit in actually well. He felt like an outcast, even though he was most likely smarter than most of the other kids he wasnâ€⠄¢t brought up the same way. That is the same theme as in another book he wrote called â€Å" corking Expectations”, where the main character, Pip, goes through the same problems that Poe did. Pip’s parents died when he was very young and he was relatively poor. He got a job working with a very rich lady who had a young woman Pip’s age. Pip fell in love with her but he felt contrary because they were on two totally different friendly levels. Pip was poor and the lady he worked for was very rich. Also the house that Pip worked in was very dreary, and the curtains were always closed and no light was allowed in the house except for candles. So that gives the impression of melancholy and that is just how Poe felt like in his life.\r\nEdgar Allan Poe never got any breaks in his lifetime, everything he got he worked very hard for. Since he never got any breaks in his life he never took anything for granted, that is why his writings were always so successful. He pu t a lot of time and effort into his writings, and they were similar to his own life. Also, since he always had to work for everything he treasured once he was able to write a book he worked even harder so he wouldn’t lose what he had earned, and that is why his writings are still talked about today.\r\nThat concludes my thesis paper, all of those proof paragraphs prove that Edgar Allan Poe’s writings illuminate his upbringing. Now that I have done investigate on Poe I understand why his writings are the way they are, and I think that he is probably one of the best writers ever because of everything he overcame to become a writer.\r\n'
