“The Dark Influence of Edgar Allan Poe’s Life on His Literary Works”

This is for a 9th grade (first year of high school) English class. This is a 7-page double-spaced research paper using a standard 12-point font, cited with MLA format. It needs to have at least 6 sources, including at least 1 primary source. It is about Edgar Allan Poe’s life, and how his life experiences influenced the dark subject matter he usually wrote about. I’m including screenshots below that show the requirements, and the questions about Poe that should act as a guide.
