Thesis statement for my research paper on the life of Edgar Allan Poe?

Asked Apr 19, 2012, 09:33 AM — 34 Answers
I'm just writing about his life and is works. I'm not trying to prove that his writing was based on his life experiences, or anything like that. I thought this paper would be super easy since I found Poe extremely interesting, however, I'm starting to think I've bitten off more than I can chew. Someone please help me to come up with a thesis statement. I guess I just want the thesis to state something about how life wasn't easy for him and he struggled nearly his whole life and it wasn't until after his death, when he actually became famous and well known. I also want to acknowledge his darker side in the thesis. His alcohol issues and such. And I also want the fact that he has been referred to as the best American literary critic in the 19th Century to be in there, too.

Works Cited should be extra pages. Ten or fewer for the body of the paper.

I'm sorry for some reason it shows symbols where the punctuations are when I post it and it takes off my indentions so it all looks jumbled

The weird stuff is because you transferred it from a word processing program like Word. How long does the rough draft have to be?

In this house in the Bronx, Poe wrote "Annabel Lee" and "Ulalume" (not "The Raven") while the family cat sat on his shoulder. Virginia was dying of TB.
