Discussion: Edgar Allan Poe had a life marked with great sorrows. Having lost his parents to tuberculosis at a very young age, he was separated from his siblings and sent to live with his foster parents, John and Frances Allan. He shared a loving relationship with his foster mother, but not with his foster father. Just as it seemed that his life was improving when he fell in love and got married, his beloved wife Virginia died of tuberculosis. Two years later, Edgar Allan Poe also died in mysterious circumstances.

Based on what you know and have learned about Edgar Allan Poe’s life, do you think he relates to his deranged narrators? Why or why not? Which aspects of his life seem similar to Gothic elements and conventions?

answer: d.she abandons people when they least expect it.

in the monk's tale, we encounter seventeen stories that relate historical events. all of these stories have tragic commonalities. they tell the stories of heroes who, despite their success in life, all met sad ends. the monk blames these sad outcomes on fortune. one of fortune's traits is that she abandons people when they least expect it. this is one of the most common themes of medieval tragedies.

the correct answer is the first one.

no. but, i heard its a good book. you could look up the answers or summary on some website.

the passage can be best described as: "the british legislature extended an unwarranted jurisdiction".

we can say that because the text clearly states how the people of the colonies warned the british about their excessive desire to rule over them, without taking into consideration the difficulties their brothers had experienced in america: they struggled to establish the colonies, to adapt to new types of weather, fight with the natives, etc., and how they now see (or then saw) the only way out was to cut all ties with the british, since they ignored the people's petitions.
