7B "Tell Tale Heart"

Write a paragraph of 4-5 sentences in response to one of the discussion prompts provided by your classmates. Format as follows:
Topic sentence (state your opinion and the main reason for your opinion).
Supporting example (Give an example from the story- even better to mention the chapter)
Explain how that example supports your opinion. (This could be more than one sentence if you feel that is necessary)
Concluding Sentence (Persuasively restate your opinion)

Questions:

Is the narrator crazy?

Were the police on to him?

What was Poe's inspiration for these stories?

Was Poe mad?

What (if anything) differentiates Poe from his narrator?

Why does Poe choose the beating heart? Is it symbolic?

What is the tell tale heart?
