I also have to do a report on Edgar A Poe. He was a hero. He was the first to ever write a detective story, and his stories have been read and enjoyed for decades. If you read any of his stories and poems, you will see how well they were written. It is true that his life was tragic and depressing, but he was determined throughout it all. You could go onto other websites about him to find more info. Hope this helps!
