Journal #1- Dear, Diary My beloved mother, Elizabeth Arnold Poe, has died on the day of December 8th, 1811 in Richmond, Virginia. Although I was only 2 years old when this tragic and tramatic event happened I still remember her, the smell of her, the unique elegance that only she possessed. She had, I would suppose to be the worst way to die. The elegant woman i called mother died a terrible, slow death of Tuberculosis. I, as well as many others, miss her terribly and I to this moment ponder upon what it would be like to have my dear mother with me right now. Yours Truly, Edgar Allan Poe

Journal #2- Dear, Diary On the day of February 14, 1826, I entered the University of Virginia. I was utterly ready to pursue my college carreer. As I entered the door, the fresh scent of college dorms overwhelmed me, and I got the sudden urge to learn. The college is located in Charlottesville and is founded by Thomas Jefferson. The University of Virginia first opened their doors on March 7th, 1825. Yours Truly, Edgar Allan Poe
