yesenia rodriguez final exam essay

Well I think that the Poe died of Rabies because on one of the stores.

Poe's Death is Rewritten as Case of Rabies Not Telltale alcohol.

Has more fact about him and about how he died. What condition

he was in before he went to the hospital.

In the store it Say that he had all the features of encephalitic rabies.

Rabies victims have a hard time or a fear of water because it is

painful to swallow .The writer was also very sensitive to alcohol.

So sensitive to alcohol that a glass of wine would make him

violently ill for many days. Poe may had problems with alcohol

as a younger man. But by the time he died at forty he almost always

avoided it.

The Poe has no evidence that he has been bitten by any type of Rabies.

Although the Doctor said that there is a good chance. That he was bitten

but the symptoms can take up to a year to appear . Most patients die in a few

days just like the Poe did. It would also be hard for him to swallow or even try to

drink alcohol so that is way i know he didn't die over that.

There is many stories about this writer like how he was found under

the steps of the Baltimore museum. Others account places like him on

plants between two barrels. in most versions Poe is wearing someone else

clothes or have been robbed. Almost everyone how has come forth with

a theory has offered no proof.

Mayra Medina-Romeo And Juliet

In Romeo And Juliet, there is a lot of people that have caused their deaths. Almost every character in this story has a part in their deaths. So, my point is that Romeo And Juliet's fate was to die together. Before I knew more about the story, I thought is was just another love story where the bad guy has all the blame for certain tragedy in the story. But I was shocked when I read it for the first time, and I found out Romeo was to blame. I blame everyone else too, but Romeo. He's the bad guy in this story. I blame Friar for not coming up with a smarter plan, I blame the Capulet's and Montague's for feuding, I can even blame Friar Johns donkey for not being able to travel faster. The main person to blame is Romeo though. (I keep coming back to this, it's annoying. Sorry.) Romeo is really desperate to have sex, that he switches targets, from Rosaline to Juliet in seconds. Romeo also kills Tybalt, rushes to Verona to kill himself without even knowing whats going on. So i have to thank Shakespeare for writing a weird story, and you, Altenburg for revealing how sad and twisted this story really is.

davis uck romeo and juliet

who to blame in romeo and juliet i blamed capulet because he killed romeos best friend but the guys who to realy blame is the priest because he came up with the gratest idea ever to let juliet drink the potion and that she will die for three days then come back to live.

when she drank the potion she died and then three days after romeo come to the doom to see if juliet was awaken but she was still dead.and romeo thought that she was dead so he killed himself and then juliet woke up and she saw romeo dead so she killed herself to. so that why im blaming the priest becuase he gave juliet the potion.

Omar Guijaro Final Exam

Well first all we know that it could of been rabies because as Dr. Micheal Benitezs said, ''A diagnosis is not always easy or stright forward. The incbation period in humansmay be as long as a year''. But they had no evidence of a bite or scratch marks. But the physicians knew how rabies were transmited at the time of Poe's death. They were also sadden to hear the fate of Caterina, Poe's cat, they had suggested that he got rabies for her. But later on they found out that the cat died because of starvation, when she got deserted by Clemm after Poe's death. So we know that it wasn't rabies. no evidence of transmition.

We know that Poe had problems with alcohol as a younger man. So we know that when he died at forty he almost always avoided it. But he sent Snodgrass a dire note warning that Poe needed '' immediate assistance''. And when snodgrass at Gunner Hall he found Poe sitting on an armchair. He had a vacant stupidiy look on his face as if her were drunk. But yet they don't know if he died because of the alcohhol.


Morgan later vigorously disputed the explanation of the death of lethal amouont of alcohol.However , some Baltimore newspaper gave the cause of death as congestion of th brain or cerbral inflammation. But some poelpe kept on thinking that he died because of the alcohol.

It could of been cerebral inflanmation beacause he could of been to drunk to protect himslef for the winds and the rain.But then it could of been congestion of the brain or becaus ethey didn't have evidence of what happend to him in th time od October 3. But yet they dont know what it was.

Those were my reasons why and why not it couls of been rabies, drinking, and head problems. They were good evidence but most of all i think he died of to much drinking. They always daid that he drank. So that what i think. What do you think he died of??

Cristina Arias Final Exam 3rd

In the "Artical Poe's Death Is Rewritten as Case of Rabies, not Telltale Alcohol. I think by reading this artical that Poe did not die by being drunk, i think he died because he had encephalitic rabies. Dr.Benitez says that his case was that Poe had rabies.
Also they say that Poe had all the features of rabies .when poe was at the hospital poe was pespiring hevily,and shouting at imaginary companions. Dr.B says that poe seeemes better but he couldent rememberbing ill. On the fourth day poe once again grow confused angry and aggressive, then he like went quiet downed and died.
before Poe died,when Poe was clam, and awake, Poe refused alcohol but could drink water but he drank the water with great difficulty.they say that peoplewith rabies fear water becuseit is painful to swallow.so when Poe drankthe water it was painful for him.
Dr. henry says that poe had all the features of encephalitic rabies.Rabie symptoms can take up till a year to appear,but when the symptoms appear, the disease is a fast and brutal killer.
other reasons poe did not die of alcohol was that he almost always avided alcohol. so thats why i think edgerpoe died of encephalitic rabies and not by Alcohol.

Jenny Guerrero ROMEO & JULIET

I think the everyone is to blame for Romeos and Juliet's death. Because if it wasn't for them getting in between them they would have taken so many risks to be together.

But half of the blame goes to the Friar. Because he took a big part in it. If it wasn't for him. Romeo and Juliet would have never gotten married. And Juliet would have not gone through the crazy plan that the Friar thought of. The Friar also didn't make sure the letters got to Romeo, Ex planing what the plan was, So Romeo and Juliet can be together.

I think the real people to blame are ROMEO AND JULIET! because they could have waited and to get married. Or maybe even talk to each others parents, it could have worked out a little better than there death. And because they make their own decisions, like Juliet could have said no to the plan the the Friar thought of, and Romeo could have not killed Tybalt which was the reason the that he had to leave.

Klarissa---Romeo and Juliet

Romeo and Juliet are to blame for there own deaths in my eyes. There both young thinking that things need to be done then and now. They have no patients, they never wanted to look at the brighter side of things. There clueless children. Things would have been much better if they would have left things alone, but they thought the only way that would happen is if they end their lives so they can "Be together". I know we all get caught up in moments, and not looking at the benefits in the future, but you don't see me trying to end my life.

Jake Sanborn. Romeo and Juliet FInal

I think the main person to blame is the Friar because first he married Romeo and Juliet for fame and so he can stop the fued or so he thought, Second because the idea with the potion and all maybe it would have worked if he told Romeo about it just a little bit earlier then before Juliet took the potion. Instead of him being informed by one of his friends that Juliet was dead. Plus the friar could have told him not to go into the tomb and saw Juliet lying their all dead looking and everything and also he could have gotten Juliet out of their but he started to freak out so in all i believe that the Friar is the main one to blame

Diana Avila (Ding-A-Ling) Romeo&Juliet

Who is at fault for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet?
No one but themselves are to blame. No one forced them to keep their marriage a secret. They should have been honest and told their parents and gone from there. No one told Romeo to avenge Mercutio.

It is wrong to blame other people for their deaths. Nothing but faith and bad luck happened to them, also their teen instict. It wasn't the Friars fault the letter didn't go threw. Romeo shouldn't have killed tybalt, and than the prince wouldn't have banished him. Balhasar was just trying to be a good friend, when he left to tell Romeo about Juliets 'death'. Benvolio was trying to be a good friend, when he encouraged Romeo to chack out other girls at the party.

At the end Juliet and Romeo showed that they are only teenagers and did the 'Teen Thing'. Whick is being stubborn,lying.impatient,and always wanting to take the easy way out.

They killed themselves.

VAI PAHULU/ROMEO N JULIET

ROMEO N JULIET

by vai pahulu

Well I would most likely blamed the fryer for givien that drink to juliet and givien her that idea about to pretend of dyin and told her that romeo would come late at night to wait for her to wake up but only for romeo to come and think that she is really dead and takes his own life and so when juliet to wake up to her dead. Husband ,that romeo took to take her own life so she would grab a kinfe and stab her self in the heart and so thats why I would not really blame any one for thier death cause love would make any one do crazy things to be with the ones that they really love even if it means taken thier own life and maken sure that they would be with them thourgh deah and beyound and love each other and mor.

Jazmin Mozqueda, Romeo and Juliet

I don't think there's anyone to blame for Romeo and Juliet's death. That was their own choice. People may have been rude to them and didn't want them to be together but no one wanted them to take their lives. And why would you take your life for someone anyways? If there has to be someone blamed, then it's their own fault and no one else's.

Jordan Wood-Gotchy - Final Exam

Edgar Allen Poe, the debate of death causes

Jordan Gotchy

Edgar Allen Poe died in his forties in October of 1849 at the hospital of Washington Medical College in Baltimore. That is fact—he did not die in a gutter as some stories are told. Where is given, how is the question that people are unsure of the answer. One theory suggests that he died from drunkenness or mania à potu, an alcoholic state in which the victim behaves with severe abnormality. Another suggests that he died from encephalitic rabies, an inflammation of the brain. All evidence seems to be unclear, muffled, or possibly even changed.

On September 27, E. A. Poe left Richmond headed to Baltimore, planning to go to New York City after. Elmira Shelton, whom was his recent fiancée, claims that when he left, Poe had had a fever. When he reached Baltimore, he spent about a week with his whereabouts unknown by anyone other than him. On October 3, Poe was found outside a tavern in an “alcoholic stupor” [Nevermore to Drink, NY Times, Sep. 23, 1996]. It is no doubt that Poe was a drunkard or experiencing alcoholism during this time. Friends confirm that he did have an alcohol problem.

After being found outside the tavern, he was taken to the hospital. Only a few short days later did he cry out in anguish, “Lord help my poor soul!” and die. Dr. John J. Moran was Poe’s doctor during his short time at the hospital. At the time of death, Moran reported that he died of encephalitis. Later studies suggest that this was caused by rabies.

However, there was no scratch or bite to be found. Studies show that only 24 percent of rabies cases is there a bite, scratch, or memory thereof due to the time it can take for rabies symptoms to appear, which can be up to a year. It’s a good possibility of explanation, but the lack of evidence shuns the idea.

Let us take into consideration both ideas. Poe left Richmond sick and his whereabouts were unknown for a week after he arrived at Baltimore. During his time at the hospital, he experienced sever delirium, irrationalism, and many hallucinations. Because of his state of mind, he could be no help to his doctors as he could be telling truth or lie. So it’s possible that both theories are correct, leading to my final explanation of his death:

Poe was bitten or scratched by some animal a year or so before his journey from Richmond to Baltimore, and he became infected. He started to show symptoms just before leaving for Baltimore. When he arrived, he felt terribly ill and knew of his near death and started to drink until he was found in front of the tavern. He was admitted to the hospital drunk, and while there, his delirium prevented him from telling his story. He died a few short days later from encephalitic rabies and alcohol poisoning.

There is much evidence supporting both sides. There is no need for debates or meddlesome tampering of the story. Neither side of the story is right or wrong; it is just a significant American writer’s death, nothing more, and nothing less.

Jenny Guerrero FINAL EXAM

On September 27, 1849, early in the morning Edgar Allan Poe first began his return to the North, setting for Richmond for Baltimore. But a week later on October 3, Poe was found outside a Baltimore Saloon in an alcoholic stupor by Joseph Walker, which said he was flooded in alcohol.


Edgar Allan Poe was driven to the hospital: Washington Medical College. Poe was given a private room, sectioned reserved for cases involving drunkenness. Poe was unconscious until three o’clock the next morning. His face was pale, he was drenched in sweat, and he was talking constantly addressing to imaginary objects on the walls. Then the next day he seemed a little better but could not remember falling ill. Then by the forth day in the hospital Poe grew confused then quieted down and died October 7, 1849.


That year thirty-three cases were reported no human rabies, which was one of the theories on how Poe had died. But Poe had never remembered being bitten, yet; only twenty-four percent of the vitamins recall any history of animal exposure. But bat related rabies had been identified in fifth-teen cases of human rabies in 1980. It was also thought that Poe could have gotten the rabies form his cat. But at the time his cat wasn’t showing any signs of rabies. But Poe’s cat did die after him, but died from starvation. Poe was also not showing any symptoms on having rabies so he could have not died from it.


Poe has also had a cold, which he could have gotten when he was drunk outside the Baltimore Saloon. Since he was to drunk to care about protecting himself against the wind and rain and Elmird Shelton had also remembered leaving Richmond when Poe started having a fever.

Nasaria Cortez romeo and juliet

The death of romeo and juliet is because of the nurse, she kept a screte about romeo and juliets mariage, from juliets mom. Then i also blame the Friar because he gave juliet the potion to sleep while the war was going on, between the montigues and the capulets and romeo thought juliet was dead so he killed him self then juliet woke up and saw romeo dead so she killed her self.

Robby Perez Final exam

Edgar Allan Poe ether died from drinking alcohol or he got bit or scrathed by an animal that had rabbies. I would think he would have probably died from alcohol. because that is a more common thing to die from than rabbies But by reading Poe's Final Days it sounded like he died from a disease he got during the trip back home in the north. though he probably drank to much and got really ill from all the acohol. And then he went out in to the wind and rain and then a rabid animal bit him and he did not know.

I also think he could have died from both alcohol and rabies. because he had the same symtoms of rabies. when drinking alcohol. He could have been drinking and got piosoning from the alcohol the went out and got bit by an animal that had rabies. Having a bite from a rabid animal and piosoning from the alcohol probably mixed and made a reaction and made him act the way he did. He probably the got worse and then he died.

Poe might have had a acohol adiction and drank alot. This addiction probably was inherrited and was past down to him.When the Physician found him and ordered a room for Poe in the tavern .He checked him and he had an high amount of acohol . It was probably so much that it killed him.

If Poe died from Rabies he would have known if he got bit.Becouse it says 24 percent of victems with rabies could recall an approprite history of animal exposure. That says he should have remembered if he encountered an animal with the infection.

Theese are the reasons why i think Edgar Allan Poe died from both Alcohol and rabies . But am not sure though because he could have just died from one of them or the other.

Amber Hammons' Final Exam

The death of Edgar Allan Poe seems to be a subject of great controversy; although there is a consensus between all articles on some facts, the cause of death is different. All articles agree that he was found 10/3/1849 outside a Baltimore tavern in a semi-conscious stupor, wearing what appeared to be someone else's filthy clothing. They also all agree that he died in the hospital, contrary to a popular myth that he was found dead in a gutter after dying from alcohol poisoning. One article says his death was a cause of Rabies. Another, that it was caused by alcohol, perhaps not directly, but caused by alcohol nonetheless.

If Only Poe had Succeeded when He said Nevermore to Drink by The New York Times 9/23/1996 said there was proof of chronic alcohol binges in letters from him to his wife, promising recovery.

Poe's Final Days, from Edgar A. Poe: Mournful and Never-ending Remembrance by Kenneth Silverman recorded that his doctor wrote a report of profuse perspiration, trembling, and various degrees of hallucinations. According to this article, all of these pointed to delirium tremens, or Mania a’ Potu. His doctor also disputed alcohol poisoning or withdrawl being the cause. A senior doctor at the hospital diagnosed Poe with brain inflammation brought on by ‘exposure’ probably due to the early cold weather. It was also recorded that Poe had a fever upon leaving Richmond for Baltimore on 9/27/1849.

Poe’s Death is Rewritten as a case of Rabies, Not Telltale Alcohol by the NY Times wrote that he entered in hospital in comatose and the next day began to perspire heavily, shouting at imaginary companions and hallucinating heavily. The day after, he appeared better but did not remember falling ill the day before. The fourth day he grew belligerent and confused again, this time worse than the last, before quieting down again and immediately dying. It was also documented that when he was calm and awake, for the brief periods that he was, Poe refused alcohol and drank water with much trouble.

Rabies, the disease Poe’s Death… was defending as the culprit of his death can take up to a year of incubation. Including this hydrophobia, which he seemed to exhibit, is a symptom of rabies. The delirium and such recorded in the paragraph above is also cited as ‘classic case of rabies’

As for my personal opinion, I agree most with Poe’s Final Days. I think that he did not die from withdrawl, or from drinking too much, or from rabies. I do, however, believe that drinking, whether or not he drank extremely or moderately, impaired his judgement enough that he went outside underdressed on previous occasions in the cold, and caught something that caused delerium. Perhaps Mania A' Patu, like Poe's Final Days says could have been a possibility. In all honesty, though, I don't really see why his cause of death matters. He was important in literature, sure, but death is death by any means.

Tricia Grammer Final Exam

:'[----*--->{*POE' DEATH*}<---*----]':

There are many theories about how Edgar Allan Poe died. I believe that he died of rabies because he had some of the symptoms you get when you have rabies. Poe had visable scratches, but no visable bite marks. They say that one fourth of rabies of victims reportedly cannot remember being bitten by a rabid animal. Dr. R. Michael Benitez, an assistant professor of medicine at Maryland University Medical Center said that by the second or third day that Poe had been reported he was perspiring heavily, hallucinating, and shouting at imaginary companions .

I don't believe Poe was drunk or died from alcohol abuse because they couldn't prove it that he had alcohol in his system. Also his wife or friend said that he would react violently ill if he was exposed to any alcohol. they also say that he may have had some problems with alcohol as a younger man, but he almost always avoided it.

Another reason why I believe that Poe had rabies is because vicims that are frequently exhibited have or are diagnosed with hydrophobia, or fear of water, because nit is very painful to swallow. There are theories before the incident that he was wearing someone else's clothing.

This is just my belief, but who know's ? I might be wrong. There are known to be a lot of theories of this story, but I believe this one.

THE END!!!

Mayra Medina-Final Exam

How did Edgar Allan Poe die? There are two main theories on his cause of death, and I have read both. I believe that he might have died of a cerebral inflammation. An inflammation or swelling to the brain. Both stories support that fact. I don't think Poe died of rabies because the story does not say he was bitten. He did have a cat, but Caterina did not have rabies. He also didn't die of consumption of alcohol because the story tells us that Poe was not a heavy drinker, for all he could handle was a small amount of wine. I don't believe the cause of his death was alcohol because the story has many other facts leading to the cerebral inflammation. Facts that are way more believable that the stories themselves. Dr. John J. Moran states that when they took Poe to the hospital, he didn't know how he got there. Poe remained unconscious until the next morning. That very same morning Poe developed a tremor of the limbs. His limbs started to tremble without Poe wanting them to, caused be a physical illness. Poe got very pale and he was drenched in sweat. Soon, he started hallucinating, he saw things that weren't there. The following day, they found Poe in a better condition than the previous day. But when Poe awoke, he started getting violently delirious. He began to call someones name. The name of his uncle-in-law Henry Herring. He wouldn't stop calling the name. Then, out of the blue, he stopped. His condition changed. He became very still, then, as he quietly moved his head, his last words, he said, "Lord help my soul." Seconds after, he passed away. All that was explained because to me, that sounds like something caused by an injured brain. A congestion, an inflammation, maybe a tumor, i don't know because the stories didn't say anything about studying his brain more. So, instead of believing Poe died of rabies or alcohol, I blame some brain problem he might have had.

Klarissa Young---Final Exam

"Poe's Death is Rewritten as Case of Rabies, Not Telltale Alcohol" is one of the articles that i think is true about Edgar Allen Poe's death. The reason why I believe why i believe this article is true is because this article gives a lot of detail, such as quotes from witnesses who last seen him alive, dates of when he did something, or where he was, and his actions, and some doctors thought and ideas of what happened to him. It seemed like Poe's behavior was the case of the rabies because how wild he acted the last few days of his life. Although there weren't any evidence of an animal had bitten him, but about of fourth of rabies victims reportedly don't remember ever getting bitten. It takes about a year after the infection for the symptoms to appear.

"Poe's Final Days" is another article that i believe that can be related to Poe's death. This article has lots, and lots of detail for Edgar Allen Poe's last days. This article also has lots of quotes form victims, and also doctors thoughts and ideas of what could have happened to him. Some evidence for this article being true are, they say, when hes drunk he can be abusive and ungrateful. Also in the article it also said "The writer was so sensitive to the alcohol that a glasses of wine can make him sick for days." it was also reported that when he was younger he did have drinking problems. And lastly when your drunk you mostly don't know what you are doing or whats going on, and that exactly how he acted. I think he drunk so much because he was stresses out about something.

These two articles, to me, seem to have more information then the others that i have read. the article said "when you have rabies its hard to drink liquids" and in "Poe's Death is Rewritten as Case of Rabies" he refused to drink alcohol so he drank water with great difficulty. you see how these two articles balance each other out? These two articles are hard for me to choose from. But i think these two make more since then others.

Diana Avila T. Final Exam

Whoe Poe!

Edward Poo is dead! How is he dead? Well there have been many stories here and there. We have to be more realistic, and look deeply into the givin evidence.

CHEE WILIKERS, the rabies! Dr.Benitez said that Mr.Poe starated showing symptoms of the rabies. He refused to drink alcohal and had trouble swallowing water, a typical sypmtom in a rabies case. He was having trouble remembering and was having hallusinations. When Poe was admitted to the hospital, he kept talking constantly about spectral and imagenary objects on the walls. In those days there wasn't a vacene for the rabies, so it could have been a possibility.

One Word; Alcohalism. Poe was known for his drinking problems. Poe was a famous lilerature writer, being known like that brings upon alot of stress. He was expected to write the best out of the best,reading his work over and over again, making sure it's good. His career was at stake. He eligity promised his family no more drinking, but c'mon now poe needed his time away from the stress and maybe drinking was it. He could have been sober when he was found. Also they might have not have tested him properly.

The last straw. In 20 years there had only been 33 cases of the rabies. Poe was a busy guy, he had no time to be playing with animals except his own. They tested his cat and he had to sign of the rabies. Poe also did not have any bite marks on his body. When you drink too much you effect this part of your brain called the hippocamous. This part of your brain stores most of your memory. This is the reason why he has problems remembering, and why he was having illusions. His body couldn't take the alcohal anymore and his body shut down on him before releasing energy. They didn't get a good picture of the CT's and the MRI's. If they had looked at them better, they could have found the cause and prevented his death.

Claudia Arellano- Final Exam

To me Poe's Final Days was the best article. It really showed alot of detail about Peo's life. It had more "evidance" or details about where he was first seen and last seen. There was details about people seening him before he died. Poe's Final Days explains how he lived his final days.
Poe's Final Days explains that he was firts seen on September 27, at a steamer in Richmond. Peo was on his way to Baltimore. No one knew why he was going or for what. He was seen carring a trunk. His journey was just abotu to begin.
On October 3rd, Peo was seen at Gunners' hall. He was dressed stangely. Did he know that is was congress election day? He was not himself. And he was careful about what he was doing. He was drunk and very suspisious. People stared at him, because of how he was dressed.Poe was not himself. His family had been called to see him.
Poe was known to be abusive when drunk. So he was a danger to all. But was that what killed him? He was taken to the hospital, but they though it was just another case of drunkeness. He was pale and covered in sweat. He was well taken care of at the hospital, he even got his own room.
Poe ended up dieing on October 6th. No one knew the reason. It could have been beacuse he was really drunk, or it could have been rabies. But anything could have been wrong with him. Rumor say rabies, but the truht is not known.
I think he died od drunkeness. He might of had a really strong drink that ended up causing his life. But he did not show is normal abusive trait while drunk. So there can be more than one answer. Maybe he was poisoned. The story goes on and on, but what is the real truth?

davis uck final exam

Poe's death was not by rabies, because there was no animals present.Although he had a cat, Poe did not have eny scratches or bites marks of eny kind.so there was no proof at all that Poe had gotten bite by eny animal and had eny rabies.

Goin back to october 3, when a printer named Joseph Walker saw him at gunners hall,a baltimore tavern,strangely dressed and semiconscious,It was election day for members of congress, and like like no other local watering holes the tavern served as a polling place poe seemed to Walker rather the worse for wear and in great distress.

Walker worked as a typesetter for snodgrass's saturday visitor, he sent snodgrass a dire note,warning tha Poe needed immediate assistance.when snodgrass arrived at gunners hall, he found Poe sitting in an armchair,sorounded by onlookers.Poe had a look of vacant stupidity.

When drunk,Poe had been abusive and ungratfull instead, he suggested sending Poe to a hospital.A carriage was called for Poe to e carriedinto snodgrass said insensible
muttering through the chilly wet streets Poe was driven to the hospital of washington medical college. Poe was given a private room reportedly in a section reserved for cases involving drunkeness.

According to moran and his wife,Poe reached the hospitalin a stupor,unaware of who brought him there.He remained thus concusion.a tremor of the limbs and what moran called busy,but not the violent or active detirium his face was pale and he was drenched in sweat.he talked and imaginary objects on the walls.

Many other who had known Poe,including the profesionaly trained snodgrass, also attributed his death.to lethal amount of alcohol.and also because he had a fever and didnt protect his self from the wind and rain.Thats how Edward Poe died.

Tiffany Young Final Essay

I think that Edgar Allan Poe died from rabies. I believe t hat theory, because there is more evidence and symptoms that shows that he has rabies then alcoholism. Poe was not in his right state of mind and was not dressed how he usually dressed his close looked like he had been robbed and they were dirty looking.
People say that he was out of his mind and that he was acting like his self. He didn't know what was going on around him it was like if he was unconscious. When people were surrounding him in Gunner's Hall he had a vacant stupidity look on his face. So he was taking to a hospital, because know one wanted to take care of him.
Poe was sent to a hospital called Washington Medical College. When Poe got to the hospital he was half-conscious and was pale and drenched in sweat. He also had a fever from the night before, because he had traveled in the rain and winds that night before.
Poe began to loose his memory about his loved ones and his life. He became violently delirious and started yelling out name that know one could understand. He was also scared to drink water and people that have rabies are scared to drink water, because it hurts them to drink it. Poe's last words were "Lord help my poor soul" and he quietly passed away.

i think that it might be both. but the artical written by burton r. polin makes more sence because
if he had rabies they probably would have noticed it. So maby he dident stop drinking and had a little bit. which would explain the fact that even if he had a glass of wine he became violent
and sick for days.

But alot of evedence points to rabies. because he was pretty much crazy when he got to the hospital and was like that for days. Then the third day he felt better but could not remember getting sick. then the fourth day he was sick agian and then he died.

But if he was dieing of alcohol he whould refuse any alcohol that came his way whitch
would explain why he refused the alchohal the third day before he died.

To me both theory's about Poe's death are good but there's one that stood out to me. That was the alcohol theory. The Rabies theory is a good argument too but there's some stuff that don't make it easy to beleive. For example if the doctors thought he had Rabies, how come they didn't get a diagnosis to confirm it? Or do something besides just look at his symptoms?

Poe was found outside a saloon. He was obviously drunk and had been outside in the rain. Being in the rain might have contributed ti his illness. Morman and his wife said he was unconcious untill three o'clock the next morning, which to me sounds like a really bad hangover. Who knows how much alcohol he had to start trembling when he woke up. Elmira Shelton remembers Poe leaving to Baltimre with a fever, so maybe being in the rain made it worse. Thats why he was seeing stuff and was being irrational.

Poe had other occasions when he was drunk and out of control. He also had letters promising to his wife that hw would recover. Im not saying he wasn't sick. Im sure he was before he left to Baltimore. But i think the big amount of alcohol caused his death. I dont think they should say he had Rabies untill they have some repert from a test.

Their is a lot of theires of how Edger Allen Poe died, but one of the ways I thought he died was an alcohol over dose.And another theory on how Edger Allen Poe died,was rabies and he died,but when he got found dead four days after October 3, 1849 but he had no signs of bites or scratches.

Also he was found outside of a Baltimore saloon in a alcoholis stupor,on October 3, 1849 than he whent to the hospital and meet Dr.R.Micheal Benitez and the docter was a professor of medicin atmaryland University Medica cente.And their was also an article on September 15.

The docter had proof the Edger Allen Poe did not die because of rabies beacuse when he exsamed him he had no signs of scratches of bite woons on him.And poe's aunt and mother-in-law said that poe had an alcoholic condition,so thats what I belive that really lead to Edger Allen Poe's death.
