Literary Response

The Tell Tale Heart

Being mad, it (omit the comma and it) can drive you into many odd situations. In Edgar Allen Poe’s The Tell Tale heart (comma) the narrator’s own insanity drives him to kill a man, all because of his eye. The eye irritated him to the point of murder, his own insanity and the irritation of the old man’s eye brought him to become more insane. (That was a run-on)Poe shows amazing imagery, has a strange antagonist, and a suspenseful climax.

Poe shows fantastic imagery in The Tell Tale Heart. His imagery really puts the reader inside (get rid of: of)of the story. “He had the eye oft a vulture- a pale blue eye with a film over it.” He really shows amazing imagery with his statement because it truly describes the eye of the old man. (Not 1st person)I feel like I am actually looking at the eye when I read that sentence. “Yes, he was stone dead.” This quote shows that the old man was as dead and still as a non-living stone. He really shows amazing imagery, putting you into the story.
