Looking Forward: Your AR reading log and test are due on
Monday, November 30th!
First and Third Period:
Work on the delinquent Edgar Allan Poe essay you were
supposed to turn in on Tuesday, November 17th!
Possible Introductory Paragraph Starters:
It was on an unseasonably cold and rainy October afternoon
in Baltimore that Joseph Walker found a drunken man in filthy, odd fitting
clothes lying in a gutter. However, the drunk was not just any drunk; the drunk
was the one of the greatest American writers of the nineteenth century. He was
Edgar Allan Poe, the great master of horror and mystery stories, whose own
mysterious death rivals some of his own greatest mystery stories. The physicians, friends, and family
members who were present with Poe at the time of his illness and death, seem to
believe that Poe died from his long struggle with alcoholism – a battle he
fought long and hard for many years and ultimately lost. However, one hundred fifty
years later, a medical doctor working on the test case of a drunken man found in
the gutter whose initials were E.P. realized that the case was that of Edgar
Allan Poe, and that the great author did not die from alcoholism and its
complications, but of rabies.
The last ten days of Poe’s life was baffling. According to documents we know that Poe
boarded a steamer on Thursday morning, September 27th at 4 a.m. from
Virginia heading to Baltimore, but after that we know nothing about his
whereabouts or what he was doing until he was found, in a drunken stupor in a Baltimore saloon,
dressed in an other man’s shabby, cast-off clothes.

Eris: Goddess of discord and quarreling. Wherever she went

Helen of Sparta: the most beautiful woman in the world. Her
mother was Princess Leda and her father was Zeus.
Helen’s step father, Tyndareus, is going to choose a husband
from among Helen’s many suitors (a man who is interested in marrying a woman). But because there are so
many suitors, King Tyndareus makes the suitors swear an oath that they will
respect his decision and not kill or fight the man King Tyndareus chooses as a
husband for his stepdaughter.
I, Regineous, promise to abide by King Tyndareus’s
decision on the husband for his stepdaughter, Helen. Furthermore, I promise to
join in battle along with the other suitors to fight any man who challenges
King Tyndareus’ choice of husband.
Menelaus: King Tyndareus chooses Menelaus, who is much older
and very boring.
Menelaus’ brother was Agammemnon, a very powerful general.
Graciously: with grace, politeness, with humility
Expedition: is an adventure, usually of an exploratory
nature.
