Erik Soberano English 2 Final Exam

After reading the four theories, two of them are con to the Michael Benitez's theory. They both say that some of the information in the Michael Benitez theory is wrong. The other theory has less contraversy but goes to the point of the explation and proof of Poe's death. In that story it shows the exact dates and times and people that affect Poe's death.

IN Kennth Silverman's story, it has said that at 4 a.m. of September 27, a Thursday. Poe was found on the street dressed strangely and was semiconcious therefore being drunks causes it. Making him more ill was the weather of Baltimore of the wind a rain. It has said that on other ocassions he has been drunk before and acted really differently.

Maybe the gothic windows helped him and his delusion. Alcohol makes people htink of things and ''see'' things. Arrivingat the hospital it was said he looks stupor maybe cause by the alcohol. Another symptom was that he had a pale face and was drenched in sweat. He also talked constantly with jibberish and was very delusional.

After Poe's conditions bettered, he was questioned about his family and his answers were so called "cohereted". Most likely caused by the alchol. Poe was helped by Moran trying to keep him alive and well. After Moran got back POe was very violent.

My reasonings wht the cause of Poe's death has much proof in the text. It is said the the history of his life has many alocholic events. His relatvies were aslo affected by his alcoholism. The many events of his history with alochol may have gave him his toll by dying by it. With all that information, I say that he died of alcoholism and not rabies.
