John Keats was born October 31, 1795, in Moorgate which is a city in London, England.
The Keats lived in many more places growing up such as Italy, Scotland, and Ireland. Being the oldest child and living with his parents Frances Jennings Keats and Thomas Keats and his siblings George Keats, Thomas Keats, and Frances Mary "Fanny" Keats. He also has a little brother who passed away before actually being born. At the age of eight years old, John Keats lost his father who was trampled by a horse. Six years later he lost his mother who died from tuberculosis. John loosing his parents at a very young age caused life to become very difficult for him.

It is very understandable that people like him and his poetry because he expressed what he writes about in different ways. Also, the way they used to talk may have been a little more difficult to understand because he uses old English. In many of his poetry, he was known for perfecting imagery, great senses, and he even attempted to specify a philsosphy using other classical legends. I think some reasons John Keats may have written plenty of romantic poems is because he got a lot of love in his family and he gave a lot of love also. His family was a sickly family due to tuberculosis. Another reason I think he wrote about love is because he was a very loving person and he loved the feeling of making others happy.

If his life span grew longer and stronger, he would be very known for being one of the best poets, and maybe better known in some of our generations today. He would be studied more and people would read more of his work. Because he passed away at such a young age, he couldn't publish as many poems and books as he may have wanted but he is and will always be respected. To me John Keats most likely wrote books and poems because it’s something he loves and needed not only a stress and pain reliever other than medication but being able to
