His life was very hard with many bad things and thoughts. "garbage in garbage out" His story's and work were probably not happy and joyful. They were probably dark and tragic like his life.

Edgar Allen Poe had a Hard childhood. His parents died before he could remember them. This influenced his writing in a powerful way. His bad childhood cause his poems and stories to have dark had horrible things in them.

his life was good other than his close relatives dieing from tuberculosis. He definitely had a bad life after his 13 year old cousin/wife died

His life influenced his work by having an external effect on him so that he had to write about his life but not directly to feel better. His life was depressing and he was a strange man so his writings were scary and and a little messed up. He also lost a lot of things he could have had in his life making him add them in his story's to get his losses of people, opportunities and anything else bad that happenedin his life.

Edgar did not have much of what we call parents when he was a child. His work all had a lonely man or child in it, who is a little crazed. In his life, to us he died mysteriously. He was also insane during his life as most his story characters are.

Edgar didn't have a good life through out his time. All of his stories kind of represented how bad of a life he had. Tell Tale Hearts probably represented one of his family members dying. And maybe even more of his stories represented something else bad in his life.

Edgar's life was dark and sad because didn't really have parents because his parents died when he was young.So his work I believe was based on his feelings because he wrote his poems very dark.

Edgar Allan Poe had a hard life first his parents die then he's taken away from his siblings. Then his siblings die and his wife died from the same deases as his family. He always seemed to mess up his life. he slowly went in sane through out his life.

Edgar's life was very dark and had lots of sorrow. He didn't have the accompany of his parents and mostly alone all his life. This influenced his poetry in making Creepy or Encasing poems. this did a great roll in his poems. Later on in his life he got a wife like many men. Around a year after marriage his wife died of TB! His parents also died of the TB virus.

Edgar Allan Poe never had a super easy life as a child which would explain why most of his poems are just dark and have suspenseful moments

I believe that Edgar based his work off of the feelings that he had in his head. Judging by the fact that his life was rather terrible I can only imagine that he had dark thoughts in which he wrote about.

Edger had a violent dark child hod ,and all his works are all dark and violent. An example is his poem alone ,his child hod was alone and the poem is about being alone.

Edgar Allan Poes work reflect to his life because he had a very lonely and depressing life and that deffenently shows in his poems. He even named one of his poems "alone" so that goes to show that he uses a lot of reflective material in his poems.

Edgar's life affected his work because he was misunderstood and went through a lot of sad things so he wrote his stories and poems about those things.

Edgar Allan Poe's life inflluenced his writing because his life was so bad and had so much death it was hard not to write about death and bad things

Edgar's life wasn't the best mostly because family members died throughout his life. I think that that influenced his work because most of his work was about death.

Edgar Allan Poe's life influenced his work because he had a depressing and dark life much like his work reflected of his life he also made all the characters alone and depressed or dark and murderous much like the tell tale heart and his life was very reflective of all his works and masterpieces

Edgar's family died when he was young so he grew up alone which is described in his poem Alone. He didn't have a loving touch as a child so he never saw love, happiness, or all things bright in life yet dark, and bad things in life from his tragedies. So, Edgar obviously shows that he knows how a madman thinks as in The Tell Tale Heart from the narrator's perspective, which probably comes from the insane thought he had after so many horrible events

His life was a big part in his work because he had a dark and bad childhood and life in general and he came up with some deep poems and dark and lonely ones that could only be about his life. I don't think you can get that kind of inspiration anywhere else.

Edgar had a very depressing life. I believe his writing was based on his horrible life. I think Edgar became insane after all his tragedy and madness and this shows in the story The Tell Tale Heart.

Edgar had a really sad childhood that was full of depression and sorrow. His poems are all really sad and depressing and sorrowful. Coincidence I think not!
