The Tell-Tale Heart RJ# 11

Dear Mrs.Zrihen,

I just finished reading the book called The Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe. This was kind of a creepy story, because it involved a little bit of the main character stalking someone. I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone because it was horrible, but kind of funny because the conflict was just because of a vulture eye that an innocent old person had, and he was killed because of that. The first strategy I used before I started this strange and queer story, I skim and scanned for text features, and what I found was that at the beginning the paragraph started by a capitalization and two dashes. The other strategy I used before starting the story was to predict what was going to happen and I predicted that this story was going to be about the author writing about a tale being told that might have been interested to her. After I read the first few paragraphs and went to the second page I used other strategies like to confirm my prediction I made before and it was correct, but too general for this story. The other strategy was to reread parts for any kind of reason; maybe I didn't understand it or I just want to read it many times. When I was done I, first asked some brief questions about what had happened in the story, like what was the conflict, where did it happen, ETC. I also thought about whom to recommend this book to.

The old man in the house was the foil and the police at the end because they don't talk at all except sometimes the police. There's no protagonist because the antagonist is the author talking because she killed the old man. No one in the story is dynamic only flat because it isn't described that much. The conflict was that the author hated the old man's eye that looked like a vulture's eye and haunted her for many times, so she killed him to end the problem. The social conditions are between the eye and the author which have a problem with each other. There are no weather conditions it is Man vs. Man, so it's the author against the old man. The exposition is where the author states for use not to think of her as mad. The rising action is when the author grows problems with the eye. The climax is that the Edgar is "stalking" the old man at midnight. Falling action includes where the old man is killed. The resolution is when the cops come.

The genre of the story is short story fiction because it only has one plot, one conflict, and mostly one of everything. The setting is in a house. What I think the author felt was being irritated with that vulture eye always taunting her. What I felt when I was reading this was crazy because this story is just WRONG!!!!

I don't know the theme and I don't think there's a moral. The point of view in this story is first person because the author is talking about herself.  The author organized this book into time order because it is going through time. Edgar wrote this story to entertain the reader or maybe share. I couldn't find any figurative language and the perspective.

I would rate this book 1/5 because it was the worst.
