discussion Poe
"The Tell-Tale Heart" is a short story by Edgar Allan Poe first published
in 1843.
(You can use quotes for a
short story title.)
We have also read The Cask of Amontillado and The Pit and the
Pendulum.
(Since we are typing, we can
just use italics.)
It follows an unnamed narrator who insists on his
sanity after murdering an old man with an "evil eye", which was pale blue with a film over it.
(!!Error!! The comma should
be inside the quotes.)
For example a
senseless person would say, “But why will you
say that I am mad? The disease had sharpened my senses. Above all was the sense of hearing acute.”
(The “B” is capitalized because it is in the text.)
One example is when
he says, “…why will you say that I am mad?”
(The ellipsis or … is used because the quote is starting in
the middle of a line.)
He believes that he
is calm and rational and that he has made a good plan taking seven long nights
to commit the murder of the old man: “And this I
did for seven long nights – very night just at midnight – but I found the eye
always closed; and so it was impossible to do the work; for it was not the old
man who vexed me, but his Evil Eye.”
(The colon : is used because the quote that follows is used
an example. There needs to be a complete
sentence before the colon.)
