The expression, "Write what you know" has been attributed to a few different authors (Twain and Faulkner to name a couple) but essentially it means a good writer writes that with which they are familiar. Now that you have completed some research on Poe's life and read three of his short stories, I want you to consider how Poe's life most likely influenced his creative work. In a well written paragraph, use at least four specific examples (not all from the same story), to demonstrate how events and/or characters in Poe's' stories directly relate to biographical information you uncovered about Poe in your research.
