In the winter‚ these teenage boys had elaborate overcoats such as civilian trench-coats‚ camel-hair coats‚ and even “teddy bear” fur coats. They would also usually be spotted with an umbrella; even if it was not raining‚ they were more of a status symbol than a functional piece (“Swing Kids”). The girls

This information shows that Poe’s already weak body from alcoholism was made even feebler due to the harsh conditions. His immune system likely could not handle the stress‚ so it may have opened

    • 8 Pages

If the art of horsemanship can deserve such an eloquent euology and vindication‚ surely poetry has better claims for euology and vindication
