Edgar Allen Poe

Edgar Allen Poe is a popular writer known for his unique pieces of poetry.  Poe had a life full of unfortunate events that I believe helped as inspiration for his writing. When he was only a kid, both of his parents died. That is usually a very scarring experience for a person. Since his parents weren't alive to care for him and his brother and sister, they were seperated. Poe's inspiration was a British poet named Lord Bryon. He had always liked writing.  He became very poor because he didn't have enough money to pay off college. His love life wasn't any better...his fiancé had gotten engaged with someone else while he had been off in college. His step mother died before he got to say goodbye to her. Those are just some of the many unfortunate events that Poe lived through. Having a life full of tragedies, Poe had a lot of inspiration from which his poetry flourished from.

Poe's writing style was completely different from project pieces that were written at the time. He almost always wrote about depressing scenarios. Also, events in which the reader would feel scared. He uses a lot of description in his writing, and with them, paints clear pictures. His stories are full of signs of a great imagination. He wrote stories of mystery, leaving the reader with a million questions concerning what happens next. After all his hard work and his contribution to American literature, he left a great legacy. Such a big legacy was left,  that society finds it nevcesary that Poe's writings be taught in classrooms around the country today.

What is an American?

America is known to be the land of opportunities, where anyone from anywhere can come and have a better chance to a great future today. That, and the idea of liberty and justice for all, is what attracted people from all corners of the earth to this one new place that seemed like the perfect opportunity for a better life. Having people from all around the world in one place, is what makes America the "melting pot," making it a country rich in diversity of cultures.
Having said that, an "American" can vary significantly, but not mattering those variations, an American is one who believes America is their home and holds pride in it. There isn't an actual race that can be officially represent as American because of the founders of this country who came from different places. Even though they came from different laces, they all played their part in learning to eventually mix and create a peaceful environment. Setting aside their differences in culture and beliefs in order to come to agreements on things that would be beneficial to the people as a whole.
An American is one who accepts this country as their own and in it, finds the desire to accomplish ones goals. Everyone who comes here, comes with a specific dream that they wish to fulfill and that seems to only be possible in this country. So, an American is one who dedicates themselves towards working hard in order to achieve this. An american is one who sees this land as a blessing to their life.
Since the migrants had to have seem something great to have left their land full of family history, so an American is one who loves their country. He/ she have decided to leave their homeland in the wishes to adopt a new one. Most Americans are second or third generations of migrants that have left their land just a few years back. In such cases, those Americans are Americans that can say they live in America, although their ancestors come from different regions. . Mentioning other nationalities before American are just titles that help others have an idea of your physical traits. Overrall, what matters is the country in which you live in and call your home
