Question

John Snow's nonfiction work "On the Mode of Communication of Cholera" and Edgar Allan Poe's fictional work "The Masque of the Red Death" both describe a fatal epidemic. Which is the most suitable comparison of the two works?

Answer 1

The correct option is this:

SNOW'S WORK LOOKS FOR THE CAUSE OF THE DISEASE TO PREVENT IT, WHILE POE'S WORK PERSONIFIES IT TO ENTERTAIN HIS AUDIENCE.

The major difference between the works of these two authors is this: in his book, Snow's focus was concentrated on the cause of cholera and how to prevent it while Poe's book personified the plague that was killing the people and describe how he went about killing his victims, thus entertain his readers with his story.

Answer 2

Nah the answer is, A. Snow's work looks at how the disease spreads geographically, while Poe's work looks at how it affects different classes of society. I reread both stories, and Snow's includes a map that shows where the disease came from, and Poe's ends with the red death spreading and killing the prince who thought he was safe in his high-class home.
