Literary Response
The Tell Tale Heart
Being mad, it can drive you into many odd situations. In Edgar Allen Poe’s The tell Tale heart the narrator’s own insanity drives him to kill a man, all because of his eye. The eye irritated him to point of murder. 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 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. 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.
Great intro.
ReplyDeleteHey. I love your set up of the response. It is really favorable, however you may want to try adding some more adjectives to make the paper even better. Other than that, great job! :)
ReplyDeleteI think your set-up for the story is great. But I think you should go into deeper detail of why he goes insane from a silly thing such as his eye.
ReplyDeletei like your wording, it needs more life in it though(:
