English Answer man,
Okay, well, for me, it seems that their isn't a straight,one-way, answer to your question. People may be judged by the way they act, or speak, but when writing stories or poems, it can absolutely be based on pure imagination. Saying that Edgar Allan Poe was mad, or crazy, for writing in the style that he did, seems biased. Poe had a rough child hood and also had an alcohol problem. He might have simply let his emotions run wild and turn something rough from his past into an even worse, almost horrific, story or poem. This might have been a way for him to cope with all of his past. No one knows for sure, but in my opinion, Poe was an absolutely SANE creative writer with a unique imagination that he used in his writing pieces. Some authors, however, may take a completely TRUE event from their life, and use different characters. Although I am sure that J.K. Rowling isn't a wizard, and Stephanie Meyer isn't a vampire, there are some writers that do use true events.

P.S. I am very excited that we are learning about Edgar Allan Poe. He's a fantastic writer!
