How did Edgar Allan Poe die, i wonder. Apparently many other people wonder as well, as i sit here and read possible true and false accusations of Poe's death. In front of me i have four news paper articles, stating possible death scenario's including death by rabies, death by alcoholism and facts of life before deathwith no accusation at all.By the end of this essay of possible Poe death scenarios you will have hypothesized a hypothetical situation in which could explain his death.
I've read four newspaper articles: "Poe's Final Days", "Poe's death is rewritten as Case of Rabies Not Telltale Alcohol", "Rabies Death theory", and "If only Poe Succeeded When He Said Nevermore to Drink". All but one article claims Poe's death upon rabies. Would any one article ever be entirly correct? No, but in each story there is a certain truth, details that are very similar if not the same.For example, all the articles agree hat Poe wasn't feeling well, was taken to the hospital by himself or a family memberand was dead four days later.
However picking out the truth from each story wasn't difficult, it was deciding weather the cause of death was alcohol poising or rabies. Well you can't just choose one so read the following sentence. In the articles "Poe's Final Days" and "Poe's Death is Rewritten as a Case of Rabies Not Telltale Alcohol" Poe was said to be hallucinating and violent at times(rabie symptoms) and calm and perspiring alot at others(alcohol and rabies symptoms). The affects of alcohol can included rage(person dependant) and split or double vision but never hallucinations unless taken with drugs.
WAIT! Before you jump to a conclusion, reevaluate the situation. How can you possibly say alcohol poisining if you don't even know what it is? It is a condition in which you have consumed too much alcohol for your bodily organs,such as the liver,to flush out, in which case you may become deathly ill and possible die. What does the liver or kidneys shutting down have to do with rage and hallucinating? Rabies is a condition where swelling of the brain occures. The brain controlls the medulla oblongotta which if affected could cause rage being that it controlls our emotions. The cerebellum and cerebrum both controll process of thought and movement, each when affected could cause rapid rageful movement and hallucinations. So you tellme, was it Alcoholism or Rabies?

Ivonne Vasquez-Perez, Final Exam Essay
The Hero's Journey consists of three main stages: the Separation, the Initiation, and the Return. The calling, the threshold, and the descent make up the Separation. The abyss, the mentor, and the transformation make up the Initiation, while the creation makes up the Return. In the Separation the hero leaves home, and in the Initiation the hero finds a mentor and performs heroic deeds. In the Return the hero goes back to his home and/or family.
An example of Separation in the Odyssey is when Odysseus decides to go to the underworld to find Teiresias.Odysseus' calling was the need to get away from Circe. The threshold awas when he decided to leave after h erealized how much time he had spent there. Descent is the beginning of the journey into the unknown, Odysseus' descent was when he sacrificed all the animals to gain access to Teiresias in the underworld.
The Initiation is where the climax of the story is found, most of the action in a story takes place in the Initiation. The abyss is the unkown and it is very similar to the setting. In the Odyssey the abyss was the underworld as was the setting for the Jouney within a Journey. The mentor is self-exlanatory, it is a teacher or helper that aides the hero. In the transformation the hero undergoes a change by performing a heroic deed alone.
The Return has only one stage within it, the creation. The creation is the final stage and it is when the hero uses the wisdom and knowledge he acquired to create a better world or life for himself/herself. The hero can also use experiences he's gained from the journey to create a better world. In the Odyssey, Odysseus creates a better world for himself when he rids his home of all the suitors.
The Hero's Journey can be found anywhere in literature as well as in films. The Hero's Journey is the basis for any story and it is a useful tool in understanding a story. The Separation is the foundation of the story and it is the beginning of the Hero's Journey. The Initiation is the climbing action and the climax of the story. The Return is the conclusion, it wraps up a story and completes the Hero's Journey.

Daisy Simental Poe; Extra Credit
Many people have a different version of what they believe is the true story of the death of Edgar Allen Poe. Some people suggest Poe died from aclchol poisoning but more than half believe Poe died from the disease, Rabies. Even though he was found "drunk" four days before his death on the street with ratty clothes on, which most likely didn't belong to him.
On October 1849, Poe was in front of a bar on Lombard street half conscious and delirious. That day he was taken to the hospital and for his last reaming days he behaved strange. His doctor. Mr.Bentitez, said the following day of him checking in he was perspiring very heavily and shouting at people who weren't there. The following day he seemed better but oddly couldn't remember how he fell ill. By the fourth day of his stay, he was quit confused and very aggressive, but then quited down and pasted away.
The story's after his death, circled around tales of his, what some people say, mysterious death. As his cause of death was supposedly, Rabies, he didn't have a scratch or a bite on him! But yet, he had all the features of Encephalitic Rabies. And still people question his real cause of death, there is no real proof to any of these theory's. Edgar Allen Poe's death was a horrid one. But strange one as well, having no for sure cause of death, Rabies or maybe aclchol. some of us might know the real cause of death for Poe. MAY HE REST IN PEACE.

Daisy Vazquez & Final Exam Essay
To start with, this first part was found in the article Rabies Death Theory. I found that Poe may have died of rabies encephalits. Physicians thought Poe had contracted rabies from his cat, Caterina. But at the time, there was no vaccine available for pets. The vaccine could've help physicians in figuring out if Poe had gotten the rabies from his pet cat.
This second part of information was found in the article If On;y Poe Has Succeeded When He Said Nevermore to Drink. A doctor at Maryland University Madical Center thinks that Poe did die from rabies due to animal infection and not alcholism. Before his death, Poe was not found outside a Saloon on October 3, 1849. But 4 days later, he died. A statement clearly state's that Poe was not drunk! Dr. Benitez has a theory... due to small amounts of evidence, abite or scratch could have been it. During that time, rabies was known to causes and symptoms. Which included itching and other sensations that affected the entire limb or side of the body. They found that Caterina, Poe's cat, had no sign of rabies. But later died from starvation.
Poe had gone on a voage and returned. He returned and got some sleep. He later woke up with a pale face. Also he broke in sweat. Morgan had found him violently delirious. With the help of two nurse's was what it tool to keep him in bed. But Poe may have gotten too drunk to protect himself from wind and rain.
This last part was of course found int he last article. Edgar Allan Poe did NOT die drunk in a gutter in BAltimore, but rather had rabies. This was a study suggest found by the doctors. Poe was acting unusual and perspiring heavily and shouting at imaginary companions. The day after that, he did seem better. But hedid not remember been i'll. On his fourth day... and last day at the hospital, he was confused. Then he quieted down then soon died.
ADILENE MARTINEZ FINAL EXAM ESSAY
The daeth of Edgar Allan Poe was caused by rabies and not by alcoholic problems. To begin with a resarcher, Dr. R. Michael Benite, a cardiologist.says he had seen Poe in a October of 1849. he says he had Poe wearing somebody else's clothes, just outside a bar on Laambard Street. he says that Poe was not drunk. Dr. B benitez says that P oe was more of a maligned, but was not drunk.
The writter entered the Washington College Hospital deeply unconscious. by the next day Dr. B enitez said he was breathing heavily and and shoutin imagenary things and companions. On the third day Poe seemed to be better but could not remember anithing. Once again, his fourth day in the hospital Poe grew confused and aggresive. After a while he quieted down and died.
Before dying Poe refused alcohol and only dranked water with difficulty. Because of rabies he could only drink water and swallow painfully. T here was no evidence that Poe had been bitten by an animal. But Dr. Benitezbelieves the clothes he was wearing might of been the cuase of his death.Poes rabies symptoms showed up quickly and died four days after.
Mr. Jerome, one of Poe's friend says that Poe almost surelt did not died of alcohol poisoning or withdrawal. He says the writter was so sentive to alcohol that a glass of wine wine would him him violently ill for days. Poe had many problems with alcohol as a young man. this caused that byt he time he was in his fourties he almost always avoid alcohol, said Mr. Jerome.
S ome say the legend may have been siad his doctor, but he soon became temperance advoiate. and changed the details of Poes death. Jeff Jerome siad he heard dozens of tales but that "almost every who was fourth with that theory has no proof." Some versions say Poes unconscioud left hin under the steps of the baltimore museum before taken to the hospital.Other accounts place him on planks between two barrels outside a tavern of Lumbard Street. but most say he had been seen with others clothin.

Susan Tyrrell: Final Exam Essay
I think Moran did somthing to him. He probably gave him a drug to make him sick and forget what happend. Poe probably saw somthing that Moran did and was going to tell. So he beat him up and gave him the drug. I think he did somthing to one of his other relatives because only three of them showed up.
I think his wife knew what happend because she didn't report him missing. Moran gave him some more of the drug because he was getting better so he had to kill him. He left the room for a couple minutes to make everyone think that Poe was getting worse. Sence they think he was drunk Moran probably put alcohol down his throat. That would also have made him sick and make him forget what happend.
Moran was the first to show up to make sure he didn't get better. His act didn't have rabies so why would he have them. The cat died too so he probably killed the cat too. He also got sick by the rain. He had amonya, he probably died from that too.
When Poe wrote a letter to his aunt and mother-in-law he wrote about what happend so maybe they are dead too. Moran probably killed them because they found out. Or maybe he killed them first and that is what Poe had found out.

Damaris D.Ramirez *Final Exam*
I chose values of literature and film. To begin with in the movie "Whale Rider", there was challenges. Challenges such as "How to become a Whale Rider."In this movie it states that women can not do what men do. Women are not aloud to do anything that depends on men.
Yet only one young lady or child has the desire to prove to her grandfather that she can be what men are. Now in the book called the "After life" from my point of vioew it has values. It is about a young man who is killed at a club. He had been stabbed. He was killed for compliminting another guy shows. He was laying on the bathroom floor dead while his spirit was rising up from his body.He tryed to grab ahold of what used to be him.
He thought it was a dream and wanted to wake up from it. Till one day he went home. Everyone in his family was weeping put tears, they were divistated,distraught,shocked and unemotional. He tryed holding his mother but all his mother did was feel a cold cold chill. Later then he had found out he had power.
He had no way of communicating with them but he could give them a cold chill that ran down ther back. Hence the part where i say its about values still not seems to come out but he valued his life and his family. Yet another drajedy is to come. A tall tale told all across the world.
A tale of two young people, two very young people. Two who fight for their undieing love. Two who fight for their love because of their families differences. Romeo and Juliet. They meet at a party or a ball.
Love at first sight is what it was. Looking deep into eachothers eyes. Holding hands and then came the line " thy do what hands do" and one true kiss bloomed them to rise as hard as a rose. Fighting for love and decieving their familes to be together. Yet the trajedy came were lady Juliet had to marry a man whose heart didn't belong to her.
She strives to reach a way to contact Romeo thinking that the killing words she had recievied were false. Romeo was never vanished. Drinking a cup of poisen is what Romeo did Juliet came but found no drop left for her, she grabbed his sword and stabbed her self. Liying on the cold hardened floor there love well be forever. A trajedy a trajedy.
Hence those are my reasons why I chose Liturature and Film, because they are more out there and entertaing.
Chakala Carthen Final exam essay
The biggest conceptwith Romeo and Juliet was that they were from two different familys but they ovesly thought the whole thing would work out in the long run.
Romeo is a montague and juliet is a capulet, and these tweo familys dont get along very well. Romeo meets juliet at the capulets party. Within time Romeo and juliet marry with out knowing what would happend if their familys found out. When romeo leaves tybalt and his friend are fighting and Romeo trys to stop the fitght but within tiem romeos friend was killed and it was all tybalts fault. So Romeo calls tybalt out and they duel. When romeo kills tybalt he had forgotten all about the rules. "If you had gotten in a fight you were killed. But romeo got out the easy way he just got banished.
When juliet finds out she was very dissapointed and on the other side she wsas being forced to marry paris. So juliet went to the friar and asked for help. So the friar came up with a potin that would make juliet look dead, but just temporarly. So the friar wrote a note to romeo but he never got it. When Juliets family found out the put her body in a vaulet.(Back in the day people wrernt burried they were put in a vaulet). When romeo caught along he went to the vaulet to find find his wife juliet dead. So romeo too the posion and killed himself. And when juliet wakes up she sees romeo dead an trys to kiss some of the posion off his lips and when there was none left she picks up a knife an kills herself.
When their familys find them dead they finally realized that all this time they have been fighting over worthless things and they end the feud between them.
Cassandra Hughes Final Exam Essay
How did Poe die? Many people who have known poe, also attributed that his cause of death is due to lethal amount of alcohol. The newspapers gave the cause of death as "congestion of the brain" or " cerbebra inflamation." Doctors diagonsed Poes condition as a brain inflamation, brought on by "exposure." The explanation may have been correct. Also they sya Poe may have become too drunk to care about protecting himself against the rain and wind.
A better argument was that Poe didnt die drunk, but rather with rabies. Poe was found in bar semi consious. The next day he was in the hospital he was hallucinating, and shouting at imaginary things. The next day he seemed better, but did not recall falling ill. On the fourth day he was in the hospital he was very angry and agressive then he quited down and died. The doctor said that, that is a classic case of rabies.
When Poe was awake and calm he refused alcohol and drank water with great diffulculty. Rabie victims usually gain fear of water because it is painful to swallow water. There was no evindence that Poe has gotten bittin by a rabid animal but in most cases of rabies the victem does not remenber. It can take a year before symtoms start to occur and when they do it may cause death withen a few days. They say that because he is so sensitive to alcohol a simple glass of wine can hospitalize him for a few days. Thats why they say he did not did of alcohol poisoning.
Poe was found outside a Baltimore saloon in an alcoholic stuper. He died four days later. Dr. Benitez admits the primary weakness of his theory was lack of evindence of a bite or scratch. Those days rabies was known to cause symtoms includes itchimg and other sensations that could effect the entire limb or side of the body.
Poe may have died of rabies encepnalitis. In the past 20 years ther have been 33 reported cases of rabies but only 24% of patients could recall an approprate history of animal exposure. A diagnosis is even though physicicians knew how rabies was transmitted the time of Poes death. Also at the time of Louis Paterurs's first use of rabies vaccine the causeitive agent, a rhabdorirus, was unknown. The best argument of the cause of Poes death is that he had died of rabies.

dr.r.michael benitez, at a medical center is wrong to ascribe the death of edgar allen poe from rabies through the animal, rather than alcoholism.poe was found outside a bltimore saloon in an alcoholic stupor on october 3,1849 than died 4 days later, his alcoholic condition was pretty bad noted by dr.
joseph snodgrass, but relatives claim that poe was not an alcholic, dr, benitez theory of edgar allen poe dying of rabies has no evidence of a bite, scratch, of passing of rabies. and they said that rabies caused itching and other sensations that caused a limb or entire side of body. they say he didnt die drunk in a gutter, but rather had rabies a new study suggests.
A whitness says edgar was seen at a bar on lombard street in october 1849, but poe was not a drunk the next day he shouted and talked to hallusanations.in the brief period when he was calm and awake, poe refused alcohol and could only drink water which was sierd cause when they thought he had rabies he drank water and the doctor said that the patients didnt wanna drink water cause the paitents were scared of drinkin it cause it was hard to swallow so they thought that he didnt have it.
poe although did have features of encephalicitic rabies, said dr. henry wilde, who freequently treats rabies at chulalongkorn university hospital in bangkok,thailand.but all the time in the hospital poe did eventually die.ledgend has it that poe scummed in the gutter, a victim of his debauched ways, ways most people who came up with a thoery how he died have no proof, in most versions poe was wearin someone elses clothes (robbed of his suit).
poe almost surley didnt die of alcohol poisioning or with drawl, said mr.jerome
the writer was so senstive od alcohol that even a glass of wine would leave him ill or days and leave him sick and twizted. also bat realated subtypes of rabies have been identified in cases of human reabies since in 1980 although patient contact of any sort with bats could be documented in only 7 cases of these patients.

DAVID KNOWLES & FINAL EXAM ESSAY
He was born january 19,1809. There are many other versions of how Edgar Allan Poe death occuured. But the one the one that made the most sence to me was "Poe's death is rewritten as a acase of rabies, not telltale alcohol". Because if he was an alcoholic he would'nt be smart at all because liquir kills brain cells.
I think Edgar Allan Poe was accused about something he didn't do because he could have got muged for his clothes. Just because he was wearing some one else's clothes doesn't mean that he was drunk and that some stole his clothes. When he was shouting he could've been mad or it maybe a symptoms of rabies. POe was not drunk but he was delrious.
If he was drunk he would have gotten over that hang over already. He grew very impatient while in thee hospital and was ready to go to war with any one. Then as he calmed down he then just died October 7, 1849 at 5:00 in the morning. As Poe died his final words were lord help my poor soul.
In my conclusion based on the information I recieved i think people were wrong about him drinking.He didnt kno if he was bitten or not because one fourth of the people do not know they are bitten. For all we know he could have hurt his head when he fell in th gutter

Renel Marcelin Final Exam Essay
I think Edgar Poe died of rabies because in those days rabies were well known as the cause and symptons, including itching and other sensations that could affect an entire limb or side of the body. On September, 27, a Tursday Poe began the first leg of his return to to the North, setting out from Richmond for Baltimore on the 4 A.M. steamer, wth a truck containg some clothing, books, and manuscrips. No reliable edvidence exists about what happend to or within Poe between that time and October 3, a week later, when a printer named Joseph Walker saw him at Gunners Hall a Baltimore tarven, strangely dreesed and semiconscious. And in those days over the past 20 years in the United States there have been 33 reported caseses of human rabies, yet only 24 percent of these victims could recall an apporiate history of animal exsposure. There also are stories that say in the brief period of time when Poe was calm and awake, Poe refused alcohol and could drink water only with great difficulty. Rabies victims frequently exhibit hydrophobia, or fear of water, because it is painful to swallow. They also say there was no edvidence that a rabid animal had bitten Poe. About one fourth of rabies victims reportedly cannot remember being bitten. But afther an infection, the symptoms can take up an year to apear. But when the symsptoms do appear, the disese is a swift and brutal killer. Most patients die less than a few days. So thats what i think happed to Edgar Poe.
Daisy Simental Final Exam
I choose to write bout ''The Meaning Of Tragedy''. In Mr.Altenburg's class we have been learning about Hero's Journey and Rites of passage, but I choose to write about ''The Meaning Of Tragedy, because I believe everyone goes through at least one tragedy in their life.
''Tragedy'', one simple word but so many different versions of it. For example; In Romeo and Juliet the tragedy is two love ones and the continuing feud between their parents, separating the love that to them seems so real. And as these two lovers long for each other there parents feud make them keep there love a secret. In the end they both pass away, to be with one another in the afterlife. I believe that everyone has one big tragedy in their life. Again, different people means different meanings to the word. What you may call "stupid" or "no big deal" might be a horrible experience to another. So to define it with just one definition doesn't cover all the real meaning of it.
Referring to ''The Afterlife" when a young teenage boy is murdered in a restroom for simply complimenting a fellow student is only one of its tragedy's. Another is that he is temporally trapped in the paranormal ghost world. This "Tragedy(s)" centers around his "ghost life" and him trying to say his final goodbyes and resolving the last few problems to the investigation of his own murder.
Strangely enough these two different storys end the same, in death. which i think everyone can agree is a real tragedy. But then again , every story has, what the author believes, is a tragedy. In more than 90% of these ''fairy tales'' end in happy endings. But as we all know ''happy endings'' are rare. And tragedy's are often. So in my final words i would like to say; That one one knows what the true meaning of tragedy. No one single sentence or few words can define it for everyone. Only you can define it for yourself.

The doctar that edgar went to was a really good doctar for rabis and also to help edgar understand that he needed to stop drinking becasue it was really really bad for him. The doctar told him that he had all kids of rabis.the rabis he had wore from the animal that bit him.

Vanilla Price's Final Exam Essay
In the Odyssey, Odyseus decides to leave his homeland to help fight the battle at Troy. In the movie Troy Achillies as well descides to leave his country to fight at the war at Troy.
The threshold for the to men is very simple. Odyseus decides to go because the king requested and/or demanded his presence. Achillies goes for a whole different reason. He goes to have his name remembered for ever, because heroes are remembered but legends are never forgotten.
Both men say their farewells to whom ever the care about. Odyseus says his farewells to his recently new born son, he gets his men and sets sail looking and waving away. Achillies sets to say his goodbye to his mother. However though while saying farewell she tells him it will be his last farewell, because if he should go he will never set foot on his home again. They both leave with haste to get to the fight.
Both leave and set out for the horizon not knowing what was in there future. Odyseus not knowing if he would ever see his new born son again, or his beautiful wife. Achillies knowing his fate however he does not no when or how his death should come upon him.
In the movie the two men are close friends. Them being friends i think they are eachothers mentor. Achillies to Odyseus in the art of war and his skill to weild a blade. Odyseus to Achillies in the knowledge of life and death, and his incredible smarts on the battlefield.
Achillies changes in a way i didnt see coming. He changed in the favor of love. He went after the woman he loved so they could be together. He gave his life for love and thats passionate. Odyseus changed when his cockiness got the best of him and stopped him from coming home.
After Odyseus's journey he learned never to give up. To keep using his brain. Never let your cockiness get the best of you. Achillies died at the end, but if he should have stayed alive im sure him seeing his own death he would have still done it. Not only for love but for the fact of his name living on and never forgotten.

Ascribe the death of Edgar Allan pow to rabies through animal infection rather than to the traditionally maintained caused of alcoholism. Poe was found outside a baltimore saloon in an alcoholic stupor on october 3 1849 and died four days later. Dr Jonh J. mor5ans account of his final days given in a letter to poe's aunt and mother-in- law maria clemm a new york herald article in 1875 and a book by morgan in 1885. Ido not admit that the lack of bite or scrach is a week ness in my theory that Edgar allan poe may have died of rabies encephalitis. Data published by the centers for disease control and pervention indicate that over the past 20 years in the united states there have been 33 reported cases of human rabies yet only 24 percent of thease victims could recall an appropriate history of animal exposure. Finally although physicians knew how rabies was transmited at the time of poe's death even at hte time of Louis Pasteur's first use of rabies vaccine in 1885 the causative agent. Arhab dovirus was unknown.

John smith final exam essay
I belive that edger allin poe died of rabbies. I think this because caterina cat died just a couple weeks before poes mystous death. So poe could of got bite or scrached by the cat and poe could of got rabies from that and died. Another way he could of got rabies is from batsbecause 15 cases of rabies been because of bats. Another way poe could of died is beacuse of alchole poising in his lungs. That but not that many peaple have died of alchole posing in that day of age. So it might be better saying that he died from rabies. Just everbody thing of bad ways that he could of died from he could from just natual cuses and nothing more then that. So that is how i think edger allin poe died.
Josie Juarez Final Exam Essay
Well I must admit I really didn't like the getting drunk and dying 4 days later. I thought it wasn't a good death story. I mean plenty of people back in the day went to bars and got drunk and fought a person here and there but be extremely ill and die from it after? Sounds stupid to me (literally). But I was convinced about the rabies theory it sounded more real and there was more evidence to prove it.
The rewritten case of rabies was a good and realistic article. I do believe E.P. died from rabies. That's a sad disease to die from. Well at least i wouldn't want to be known as the girl who was a good friend that die from rabies. Also Dr. R. Michael Bentinez said E.P. was delirious and was wearing some other nasty person's clothes. How careful he was that night (yeah right). He ended up in there hospital very ill. As they said. And Louis Pasteur was the first use of the rabies "vaccine". H e was a chemist who studied diseases and also said E.P. was contained with this horrid disease.
In the past 20 years in the U.S. there was 33 reported cases of human rabies. How disgusting!!! This was in the 1980. But what caused this disease was bat related. They said Allan had it . But I know this dude didn't die from drinking. So my theory stays final with some evidence to back it up. Poor Allan died with illness that was not cured in time.Four last days he died painfully but with a named remembered
