This excerpt was a chapter titled \u201cPoe\u2019s \u201cBalloon Hoax\u201d\u201d from a book called <em>American Literature<\/em>. It contained a well written analysis and comparison of the real Monck Mason\u2019s account of his balloon trip to Poe\u2019s hoax. I chose it because it was so specific to my primary source and it had a thorough analysis comparing the two works, highlighting specific portions where there are almost identical passages. Furthermore, this work shows how Poe melds the truth facts with the false ones since the Monck Mason\u2019s account was entirely accurate. This source changed the way I was going to approach my topic because I originally intended on focusing on how society and the cultural beliefs of the audience influenced Poe\u2019s work but instead I was inspired by this source to analyze how Poe feigned truths by mimicking many stylistic elements and facts from a true discovery.<\/p>\n<p>Scudder, Harold H. &#8220;Poe&#8217;s &#8220;Balloon Hoax&#8221;&#8221;\u00a0<em>American Literature<\/em>. 2nd ed.
