The Purloined Letter

This book is written by one of the most famous authors of America, Edgar Allan Poe. The Purloined Letter is a story that involves drama and investigation. Is a story from the 1800’s, however, the drama can be related to cases from these days. You read about queens and kings, stolen items, how the police handle the investigation and the best is that makes you go into conclusions, but at the end the answer is right in front of your eyes. It is fun to read and who knows, it can wake up your spirit to investigate and get always to the end of things.

Edgar Allan Poe

Edgar Allan Poe is one of the most famous authors of America. He is one of my favorite authors because his stories are very interesting. His stories are based in mysteries, drama, and investigation. I like to read stories that make me think, analyze and draw conclusions even though, my conclusion can be wrong. Also, I like to read with a purpose and make sure that I can understand what is the author’s purpose. Edgar Allan Poe suffered a lot because his childhood was very painful and his experience is similar what other people and/or students are going through. I hope you enjoy his reading and make reading part of your life.
