Edgar Allan Poe's "The Masque of the Red Death" In writing a story of this nature, Poe would have considered such historical examples as the Black Death or the bubonic plague of the Middle Ages as well as the cholera epidemics that ravaged Philadelphia in the 1790's and Baltimore in his own lifetime. However, "The Wife of His Youth" follows Mr. Ryder, a bi-racial man who was born and reared free before the Civil War. He heads the "Blue Veins Society", a social organization for colored people in a northern town; the membership consists of people with a high proportion of European ancestry, who look more white than black. The organization's name stemmed from the joke that one would have to be so white (to be a member) that veins could be seen through the skin.

Identify a discourse community and show why it is different from the academic discourse community​
Gemiola [76]
A discourse community can be described as a group of people that share common goals, sources of information, terminology, and methods of communication along with a certain level of expertise and knowledge on a subject. However, it is often distinguished from 'speech community' on the grounds that speech communities are sociolinguistic groupings with communicative needs such as socialisation and group solidarity, whereas discourse communities are groupings based on common interests.
