The death of his foster mother was very difficult for him to handle, and he enlisted himself in the army to get away from the abuse at his foster home. Soon after excelling in the army, Edgar Allan Poe went to live with his aunt Maria Clemm where he learned that his brother died of tuberculosis young. Being the third major death in his life, Poe went into a state of mourning over his brother, although he had barely known
His father died shortly after and Poe suffered greatly during his life not being able to claim to have “known” his parents. Poe did indeed gain another motherly figure, Francis Allen, who also ended up passing away early in his life. He also was faced with the challenge of losing his wife. Poe lost some of the most important people in a man’s life, the women they love. Out of the supplementary of works Poe had written, I personally had found his poem “The Raven” uniquely interesting because it closely expresses the devastation that Poe went through throughout his life.
Francis was not able to recover from his illnesses and the cauterization of his eyes proved to be too much for him. St. Francis of Assisi died on October 3, 1226, at age forty five. He was canonized in 1228 by his old friend, Gregory IX. St. Francis was buried in the church of St. Giorgio and Assisi is now a pilgrimage centre for Franciscan devotees from all around the world. With the exception of St. Theresa, I don’t think that there are very many people in this world today that would deliberately force themselves into poverty and a life spent wandering the countryside and living with sick and the poor.
Edgar Allan Poe was a renown poet of the nineteenth century whose life was full of unfortunate events that jaded his writings. Edgar was born to the Poe family in 1809, however his original parents had either abandoned him or were dead by the time he was three. He was then adopted by John Allen, who moved around frequently due to his job as a merchant. Poe moved around a variety of schools, finally going to the University of Virgina in 1826. It was during this point in time that Poe and Allan had a falling out due to Poe’s debt.

When she had to flee because she was a mutant David lost a big part of himself too. A quote from the book that describes David`s feelings are “I lay, there, picturing Sophie and her parents plodding their way southward towards the dubious safety of the Fringes, and and hoping desperately that they would be far enough off now for my betrayal not to hurt them.”(pg.53) This passage clearly shows David`s and Sophie’s great friendship because it uses words like desperately and not to hurt them which show how much David cared for Sophie. The second person David lost was his aunt. Aunt Harriet came one day to ask David`s family to commit a crime. She asked David`s mom if she could use Petra for the mutant inspection.
