Razia Karim-Poe extra credit

"Poes Final Days",claims that Poe died of taking too much alcohol. The article said that he was very vulnerable and when Mr.Sondgrass saw him. He said that Poe was a complete mess. Before Poe died he kept on saying a name. A family member wanted him to be checked into a hospital because when Poe like to drink and at those moments was very abusive.

The next article "If Onle Poe Had Succeded When He Said Nevermore to Drink". They say that Egdar Allen Poe might have died from intoxication. Then there is a theory that he might have gotten rabies. There was not eveidence of a bite or scratch to have rabies.

In "Poe's Death Is Rewritten as Care of Not Telltale Alcohol". This article says that studies suggest that he dided from rabies not alcohol. Dr.Henry Wilde says he had all the features of rabies. Mr.Jerome said Poe did not die of alcohol. This article states that he died from rabies.

The article "Rabies Death Theory" states that he might have died from rabies. Does not say that his cat could have given him rabies. But at that time they knew how rabies were transmitted but took no action. Also, at that time period animal vaccination was not available.

My theory is he dies from rabies. When someone is drunk they either throw up and don't have energy. Egdar Allen Poe on the other hand would not calm down, then all of a sudden would want to start a fight. Also, a doctor said that his brain swoll up which was a symptom of rabies. Maybe he died of intoxication, but rabies seems logical because of all the evidence.

Sarah Beeghley Final Exam Essay.

The Meaning of Tragedy
The tragedy of Romeo and Juliet stretches beyond the fact that they killed themselves for the love of each other. It stems from personal beliefs of a group of people being judgemental towards one another.
The family dynamics between the Capulet's and the Montague's were the same yet different. Each believed that they were the better than others , and deserved the best. Therefore they taught their children to be discriminatory towards other people that didn't belong to their family name. They treated others as an outcast and even fought with them
For a child to be taught to hate others that aren't exactly like them is unfortunate. It sets them up for having allot of enemies that don't personally know them. It makes them look down on people they've never met or gotten the chance to know.
This hatred caused dishonesty with Romeo and Juliet because they had to sneak around to see each other. Being accepted by ones parents in what you so is important to a young persons purpose in life.
Unfortunately because of the circumstances their parents put them in before they were born, it caused them to lie and hide their feelings for each other . This caused their untimely deaths because of the discrimination put upon them before they had a chance to make their OWN decisions in life. The way a child is taught and raised can make a person a positive or negative influence for the rest of their life.

Justin Murray Final Exam

I will never forget the "Hero's Journey". The "Hero's Journey" is a way to show the beginning of the character and the end result. You can also use it to show the plot of the story. The "Hero's Journey" makes so much sense to me. You could build any type of story with a "Hero's Journey".
The Hero's Journey begins with the seperation, and that is where the main character gets "called" to do something and leaves to pursue it. Then it goes to the Initiation, where the problem of the story usually happens. Then some sort of mentor helps the character "transform" into a better person. Return is last, and in the return stage the character comes back or does something to make the world a better place.
A good example of the Hero's Journey is The Odyssey. In this story Odysseus, goes to war and is trying to get home. On the way home problems arise. Odysseus gets through the problems and eventually comes back home. When he gets home there are people trying to take his kingdom. Odysseus kills them and restores his kingdom.
You can also use the Hero's Journey in short parts of a story. In the Odyssey, Odysseus has to enter the land of the dead to find his way home. So to enter the land of the dead Odysseus sacrifices a black lamb and an ewe. Then he enters the "abyss" That is the Land of the dead/Hell. He sees Teiresias and gets taught about what will happen. Then Odysseus transforms by learning how to get home. With the creation being he doesn't tell his men that they shall die.
