Response to literature: Tell Tale Heart
“I became insane with long intervals of horrible sanity.” Edgar Allen Poe explains in his story. Who knew that one little irritation could drive someone so insane; crazy enough to make someone do something very terrible. Edgar Allen Poe exemplifies this in his fantastic story, Tell Tale Heart. In Poe’s story, a madman is driven even further into insanity by an old man’s perplexing pale blue eye with film over it. He refers to this as an “Evil Eye” (QUOTE) Poe does a great job including great imagery, an interesting plot, and lots of suspense in this story. Edgar Allen Poe’s blood-tingling story of a demented killer will keep you on your toes.
Part of the reason it’s so exiting is, his exquisite use of imagery. “Yes, he was stone, stone dead.”
I like your use of the word perplexing
