Poe created a poster for his cat. He denied his cat's death the next night while drunk. Poe forgot that Pluto, his cat, got hung. So while intoxicated he thought Pluto was alive but had run away. So, Poe created a Wanted and a reward. In the story he says he found a new cat just like Pluto, but with minor changes. He might've been given that cat, that's why the new cat was so quick to like Poe. But this theory was proven wrong later on in the story.
Intoxication is a main factor too. Poe went through tough times and started drinking. Maybe that's how he died. Alcoholism was one of my ways he died. He probably overdosed and/or got too drunk. Poe could've killed himself while drunk or just couldn't handle all that alcohol
Carlos,
ReplyDeleteI really like your wanted poster this week! It's creative, and a great drawing of a cat! I really like how you talked about how it works into your story, and how you explained Poe, and how we thought the cat ran away while he was drunk, but he really killed it. Though, I think it got a little off topic, and I was confused at times. I also think that it's pretty cool how you're reading Poe Stories, and we're learning about Poe in school! Overall, great blog this week, and I hope you enjoy your book!
I like your drawing, Carlos. I remember reading the different death theories of Poe. I think that his drinking took a big part in his death. It might've been the only reason. Anyway, this was a great post.
ReplyDeleteThis was a very good blog you described the poster and what you drew and why you drew it very well.
ReplyDeletePoe killed his cat pluto? You did a very good job with the drawing and description of your picture.

ReplyDeleteAre you saying that Poe was a character in his story? Do you mean to say narrator?
