Mayra Rivas Eng 2-Final Exam

I think Poe has rabies but not only Poe. but in the past 20 years their has been around 33 reports about the rabies cases. But only 24 percent of them could know anything also the animals.
This story is good because it gives you good explanations like the setting. it also tells you like who was involved and what happened.
It tells you who Poe is and Poe is the guy who got rabies. And Poe is the one who has rabies and Caterina is scared and angry.
The cat gave rabies to Poe and so Poe died and thats when Caterina got really mad. So she tried getting the vaccine medicine and the medicine is a shot that you get for getting bit by a dog.
A diognostics is not always easy or straight-forward. The incubation period in humans may be as long as a year, if the inoculation is small and occurs on the hand or foot. Thus the lack of evidence of a bite or scratch is not inconsistent with diagnosis.

How did Poe really die? Well, some say that he died of Rabies. Some say that he died of some sickness their trying to find out. Also they said that he died of too much drinking, then died 4 days later on. No one really knows hoe Poe died! But waht I think is that he died of too much drinking.

The way I think he died was because at a young age he started to drink. Before he died, before the 4 days he died, they found him outside of a bar. Near all the trash cans. So they took him to a hospital and said that there was no alcohol in his system. But how do they know he wasn't laying there for days, weeks, or maybe even months? Even though they said that every time he would see wine or anyhting considered as alcohol he would be sick for like a month by just drinking a cup. What if he took some pills so they wouldn't find him drunk in the hospital.

Well the article that I just read say that he died of several things like Rabies. Well they said that he had a cat living with him. But when Poe died they went to his house to see if his cat had Rabies or not? Well unfortunately his cat did not have anything wrong with him. Also Poe did not no bite or scratch for him to get Rabies. Rabies don't just pop out of nowhere!

So there are some of my facts, about Poe. So waht I really think hoe Poe died is drinking too much. How did Poe die? His death stays a mystery.

I believe both articles. Simply because both seem very logical if they're put together. I think the relatives of Poe did find him by a bar with alcohol in his system but I dont think he died from drinking too much. There are sources that have said Poe was not a heavy drinker, only in his younger days.
I also dont believe that Poe's cat gave him rabies, but that some other animal from sometime ago had bit him, because the doctor that cared for him those four days did not find bite marks and believed that he was not dying from alcohol but from a case of rabies because he had all the signs of it.
But it's still a mystery on the real reaon he died he did not have any bite marks that they know of and also had to same behaviors as a person with delrium tremens. The true story can also not be revealed because of the lack of medical advances.
Which brings me to my theory of Poe's death. I believe he had rabies and never knew. And one night he decided to drink a little more then usual which triggered his syptoms of rabies.And died four days later.

I think this is the correct theroy "Radies Death Theory" because it tells us alot. It has alot of detal. For example when it happen. Who it was. Where and why he got it.
Others don't really make alot of sence to me there confusing how he died. They change what happen and talk about things that shouldn't have been in there, that don't really help.
It also tells you that other people got rabies too. That bats subtypes have been seen that they have rabies and they found that rabis have been transmitted at that time.
He was dignosis easy striaght foward. The lack of evidence of a bite or scratch is not inconsisten with the diagnosis. There is a small incolation that occurs on the hand or foot.
So thats basicly why i think this theoy is true. It was hard to choose one because there was one that was like the same. This theory for me was the most realalistc. So i think rabies killed Poe.

Natasha Santos English 2-Final Exam

I think Poe was killed by "Rabies" instead of all the other diseases people had said he had. Because they mentioned he had "Rabies" twice in the stories. Then on the other diseases in only mentioned them once.
Then on this story they said things about where it happened, why, whom, what and how. It said alot of detail in the story. And I also like how the the people explained it.
It explained how people around him got "Rabies" too. Then the bats subtypes have been seen that they have "Rabies" also. The people found "Rabies" transmitted at the time.
The diagnosis is not always easy or straight forward. The incubation period in humans maybe as long as a year, if the inoculation is small and occurs on the hand or foot. The lack of evidence of a bit or scratch is not inconsistent with the diagnosis.
So that's why I think he died of "Rabies". Beacause alot of people also got very effected. Then also bats got it. So it could of been very dangerous around that time.

Blanca Reyes ENG 2(8)-FINAL EXAM

I think that Poes death was caused from drinking. While reading one of the passages while I dont believe that drinking can make you that siverly dilusional. It was probly enough to make him carless against the weather witch to me seems more realistic and possible.
The reason I have come to believe that Rabies was not the cause of death is because I think he would have died sooner. Not only because he would have had the poison inside of his body but his body probly wouldnt have been able to handle it while also trying to stay alive against the rain and wind.By then i think that his body would have given out.
If it would have also been Rabies I believe the hospital would have reacted differently to help him. And in the artical that followed Poe the most wand gave more detail about his behavior. It had no information about him suffering from wounds. It just seems like a story that was over exagerated over time with barly any evedence.
Poes death was more likly to have been caused from Alchohal poisioning , and Hypothermia in the late stages. The Rabies story also doesnt give logical reasoning that would make it more believe able . The story lacks to much evedence and contains tomany gaps. Which is why i believe he didnt die from it.
