    The Tell-Tale Heart is a story about an insane narrator claiming to his sanity after murdering an old man out of anxiety and panic. Many believe the evidence points to the narrator being a calculated killer. After reviewing the symptoms of the narrator I believe him to be a man plagued with anxiety issues and panic attacks. First of all, the only reason the narrator had for such crime was of his eye, the eye of a vulture, nothing else. Not for his gold, property, or vengeance just his eye.

    Edgar Allan Poe used the literary device of setting to give a dark, threatening tone in the story by using three main elements. Time of day, mood and atmosphere, and population. All to which are very effective towards the story. Time of day affects most of the story of Tell-Tale Heart, through the type of period of time the short story is based on. If it’s based on in the day people expect things that aren’t dark, but if it’s during the night you will be expecting something dark and ominous.

  • A Review Of Lois Lowry's Number The Stars

    1515 Words  | 7 Pages

    I believe almost every person can recall a time from their childhood in which they were spared the truth of something in an attempt to safeguard them. Trust then becomes the theme of the narrative. It is a lesson every parent wishes to impart to their child, and that is where the bridge between the intended audience and the true audience lies. The simple description and sentence structure Lowry employs, both attracts and makes the child reader comfortable, while the content and themes also echo sentiments and knowledge of both parents and adults alike. It can easily be argued that any book can be for anyone, but I think most people would agree that there is some content that is inappropriate for younger readers, whereas the opposite does not necessarily hold the same.

The psyche of this killer is a mystery to many, with many debates as to if he is not guilty by way of insanity, responsible for his crimes, just a small bit delirious, or absolutely raving insane. He admitted to killing an old man, and denies madness at every whim. “ …but why will you say I am mad?...how, then, am I mad?...”

    Tell-Tale Heart is about a man who was crazy and he killed an old man because of his evil eye. Then he shows the police where he hid the old man’s body. I strongly believe that Tell-Tale Heart is not appropriate for middle schoolers because it tells you about killing people and hiding the evidence. Tell-Tale Heart shouldn’t be read in middle school because it teaches us how to murder people. On page 93 its talks about him replacing the floor boards so cleverly from the police but he then confesses that he killed the old man and put him under the floorboards.

  • The Tell Tale Heart Research Paper

    Edgar Allan Poe is a famous writer and poet, who mostly wrote horror and mystery, his work is admired by many people, even children under 10. But is it actually good for them to read writings like these? I personally think that “The Tell-Tale Heart” is appropriate for students my age, not kids under 10. Not that I’m disseminating people who let their child(ren) read horror or older, but they won’t understand what the author is interpreting, he is from 1800, his words are different from nowadays, and kids believe in everything they hear/read. For example, in the text he uses words like,” audacity”, and “bosom”, nobody nowadays knows what these words are.
