Introduced by tragedies early in his life, Edgar Allan Poe became one of the most successful writers, poets, and storytellers to ever live. Edgar Allan Poe had the intelligence to do anything he wanted to do, however, the pain of losing his loved ones always seemed to drive him towards a pen and paper. His emotions never failed to show through his writings, which helped the story line touch the readers. Poe became very close to several different women but each would die shortly after he came to love them. This only pushed him to write more emotionally. Poe had a natural talent for putting his real life experiences into a fictional story and making it seem as if it were really happening.

Willa Cather is a phenomenal author, she has received recognition on many of her novels.

It seems that Cathers novel, My Mortal Enemy, is based upon her real life experiences. It is a story about a young woman who choses love over fortune. I believe My Mortal Enemy is Cather’s way of expressing the love life of a couple whom she knows very well, if not her own love life.

Authors have inspired and created some of the most remarkable ideas that can change just one life or many; however, these authors must have had inspiration themselves. An author’s life influences who they are and what they do, writing. Edgar Allan Poe was a unique author who wrote numerous dark, mysterious works, such as “The Tell Tale Heart,” that were inspired by his life full of sorrow and despair. Comparable to Poe, S.E. Hinton’s writing was affected by her life of being different from the world and even her friends, which led to her writing about a unique character who stands out in The Outsiders. Lastly, Elie Wiesel is alike to the previous authors. His life, burdened by ceaseless pain that he bore through, reflects in his writing in Night. Anybody’s life can change from just one significant moment that they have lived, no matter who they are or what they do. Edgar Allan Poe, S.E. Hinton, and Elie Wiesel had been just average people who have challenged events in their lives which who used those events to write.

People get inspiration from so many things. Some people get inspiration from things they read about, some people get inspiration from things they dislike, or from new things they learn. Some authors get their inspiration from life experiences. Edgar Allan Poe had lots of disappointment and darkness in his life. This darkness feel can be found in many of his works such as “The Tell-tale Heart”, “The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar”, “The Black Cat”, and “The Cask of Amontillado”. Similar to Poe, S.E. Hinton used her experience of being a teenager growing up in the 60s to write her book, “The Outsiders”, a book about the life of a group of teens who are growing up in the 60s. Similar to Poe and S.E. Hinton, Elie Wiesel used his experiences of living in multiple concentration camps to write a memoir to share his experience with the world. As demonstrated above, authors can use their lives as inspiration for their writing.
