8. I think that it is very strange to marry your cousin first of all, but at the age of 13. That is just not right in my judgement.

Personal Experiences with Poe's Stories and Poems

All of the stories I read that were written from Poe have all fascinated me and his way of writing made me want to read more. His writing also interested me a lot and it is also cool to see how he implements his writing style in all of his stories and poems.
