Which statement is not a similarity between edgar allan poe and stephen king? a) poe and king wrote nonfiction about the writer’s craft.. b) poe and king received critical acclaim for their work.. c) poe and king were born in the 1900s.. d) poe and king wrote both nonfiction and fiction.

The correct answer is C. Poe and King were born in the 1900s.

Option C is definitely incorrect because Poe wasn't born in the 1900s - he was born in 1809 and lived until 1849, so he even died long before the 1900s even began (whereas King was indeed born in the 1900s and is still alive.)

A is true - both writers wrote nonfictional works about the writer's craft - King's is titled On Writing, whereas Poe's is titled Philosophy of Composition. Additionally, both writers were critically acclaimed. And finally, both wrote fiction predominantly, but as already mentioned, they also wrote nonfiction.

Poe and King were born in the 1900s.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
