Edgar Allan Poe

Edgar Allan Poe (born Edgar Poe, January 19, 1809 – October 7, 1849) was an American author, poet, editor and literary critic, considered part of the American Romantic Movement. Best known for his tales of mystery and the macabre, Poe was one of the earliest American practitioners of the short story and is considered the inventor of the detective fiction genre. He is further credited with contributing to the emerging genre of science fiction.^[1] He was the first well-known American writer to try to earn a living through writing alone, resulting in a financially difficult life and career.^[2]
He was born as Edgar Poe in Boston, Massachusetts; he was orphaned young when his mother died shortly after his father abandoned the family. Poe was taken in by John and Frances Allan, of Richmond, Virginia, but they never formally adopted him. He attended the University of Virginia for one semester but left due to lack of money. After enlisting in the Army and later failing as an officer's cadet at West Point, Poe parted ways with the Allans. His publishing career began humbly, with an anonymous collection of poems, Tamerlane and Other Poems (1827), credited only to "a Bostonian".
Poe switched his focus to prose and spent the next several years working for literary journals and periodicals, becoming known for his own style of literary criticism. His work forced him to move among several cities, including Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York City. In Baltimore in 1835, he married Virginia Clemm, his 13-year-old cousin. In January 1845 Poe published his poem, "The Raven", to instant success. His wife died of tuberculosis two years after its publication. He began planning to produce his own journal, The Penn (later renamed The Stylus), though he died before it could be produced. On October 7, 1849, at age 40, Poe died in Baltimore; the cause of his death is unknown and has been variously attributed to alcohol, brain congestion, cholera, drugs, heart disease, rabies, suicide, tuberculosis, and other agents.^[3]
Poe and his works influenced literature in the United States and around the world, as well as in specialized fields, such as cosmology and cryptography. Poe and his work appear throughout popular culture in literature, music, films, and television. A number of his homes are dedicated museums today.

Horror History

Kelly Udwin

This is the famous case of a girl who lost her voice after a bloody event and the story begins like this:
Kelly was a lonely child and only daughter, her parents for various reasons they came out of the city every night, so they bought a dog named Memito to not feel alone and could sleep peacefully.
  When night came, and Kelly was going to bed, had only to stretch his arm playing the beautiful hair of sleeping fully Memito even have rainy nights. She knew Memito touching was safe.
A cold November night Kelly preparing to sleep she heard strange noises which spiraled out of control her nerves, Memito sensed her fear and as a guardian put his winged body of her bed. Kelly stretched out her arm to touch Memito and thanks to the warmth of his body did sleep.
The next morning waking Kelly noticed her hands full of blood, she looked to the wall and saw Memito nailed and disemboweled.
And we all wonder: What was it that touched that night?

My possible solutions for the Global Warming ☻

One possible form to protec the planet is:
1. Don´t waste the electric energy in our homes, one example is when we  go out to the room,  we should turn off the lights.
2. We can use the washer full,  because we save water and electric energy.
3. When we heat the water, we cover the pot, because the water can boil more quickly.
4.  We need recycle the garbage because some garbage  could to do more things that waste.
5. We should  take a quickly shower because if we do that we can save water.
This things and more  could reduce the effects of the global Warming.
 We need save our planet!!!

Global Warming!

Unfortunately global warming is affecting our planet earth slowly. We have led each of the changes affecting "our Earth."

The change that most concerns me and it hurts to know is that glaciers are melting in the future while the deserts will become hotter and lose moisture, so affecting thousands of animals and plants.

It is alarming the number of meters that the sea will rise by the melting of polar and animals will die because of this.

We need to make each of us aware about the harm we cause him to "Our Planet" with each of our actions.

We all want a world without change, we like our planet so why not CARE!
