1.  It means that killing gives guilt. The title means a story that has to do with emotion.

2. He calls himself nervous because he thinks he is not crazy. This means he is unaware of his actions.

3. He could have been injured in an accident or war and I think if they not were they became good friends and I am pretty sure that the narrator is the caretaker of him.

4.  I do not think the narrator would’ve killed the man if he did not have an evil eye because the old man’s eye greatly vexed him and his eye is the reason he killed the old man.

5. Yes, he says it gets louder of the old man’s heartbeat but not the eye but he hates it even more over time.

6. He hears the heartbeat and it gets louder. In reality, this must be guilt washing over him but he hears a heat due to him being insane.

7.  It could have changed the way they did it and maybe the way they act.

8. “A single ray of light fell upon the vulture eye.” This line is repeated throughout the story and it impacts it because the narrator is trying to kill the man because of his “vulture eye” and this eye is the whole reason the story is happening.

1) The significance of the story: Tell-Tale Heart'' is about the narrator plotting to murder the old man with the vulture eye.

Hannah

2) The narrator calls himself “nervous” but not “mad” because he wants us to know that he thinks it is a good idea for him to kill the old man. By saying he is not mad, he thinks we will agree with him. When the narrator states this, it infers that he is mad, because no mentally stable person thinks it’s a smart idea to kill someone. With the narrator’s mood in the story, the way he randomly laughs and talks strangely can also infer that he is mad.

3) From what is said in the text I can infer that the relationship between the old man and the narrator was good, but the narrator didn't like the old man's eye. I can infer that the old man's eye looked like that because he was blind in that eye.
Ryan

4)  No, he would not kill the old man if he didn’t have the “vulture eye.” The narrator said that he liked the man, he said the old man never wronged him [the narrator], it was just his eye that bothered him.
Hannah

5) The two main symbols, the eye and the heart, both represent important parts of the story.  The eye is the whole reason for the story. The narrator killed the old man because he didn’t like his eye. The heart is important because it is how the narrator confessed his actions. When the narrator was talking to the police he heard a ringing in his ears. He thinks that this ringing is the heartbeat of the old man he had just killed. When he physically cannot take the sound of the heartbeat anymore, he confesses that he killed the old man.

6) In the story the thing that the narrator could have thought he has been hearing was the old man's heartbeat but it was most likely just ringing in his ear

Ryan

7) If the narrator was a woman, it doesn’t change my interpretation of the story. I would still think she is completely crazy. No matter who narrated the story, whoever did was a very strange and mad person.
Gabby

8) The line that had a repetitive word was in one of the last paragraphs. The word that was repetitive was the word ‘louder’ He keeps repeating that word in the sentence to build anticipation of what happens next.

- The title "The Tell-Tale Heart" represents the guilt the narrator was feeling and the heartbeat of the old man tells a tale.
- The narrator is trying to prove that they are not crazy and deny any form of insanity.
- We think the narrator and the old man possibly had been close friends for a long time. I think that the reason the old man has a "vulture's eye" is that he was born with it like that and he's blind to that eye.
- We do not think the narrator would've killed the old man if he didn't have a vulture's eye. This is because in the text the narrator states, "I loved the old man. He had never wronged me. He had never given me an insult. For his gold, I had no desire. I think it was his eye!" This shows the narrator had no trouble with the old man, except for his eye.
- The eye represents the feeling of cloudiness in the narrator's head because there's so much going on. The heart represents the guilt the narrator has for killing the old man.
- The narrator hears the resemblance of the old man's heartbeat even though he is dead. In reality, this could be the reminder of what he did, and as it got louder, more guilt formed.
- If the narrator was a woman, I would think that she and the old man have had a past, like former lovers.
- "And then, when my head was well in the room, I undid the lantern cautiously--oh, so cautiously--cautiously," The repetition of the word "cautiously", showed how precise and advanced the narrator was in doing the awful deed of killing than an old man.

1.The title could mean that the heart beat of the man tells a story.

2.The narrator calls himself nervous instead of mad to make a good impression of himself.

3. They were probably friendly neighbors and the old man was probably blind in one eye since it says the cloudy eye.

4.he wouldn't have killed the old man i say that because I

I think it was his eye! Yes, it was this! He had the eye of a vulture a pale blue eye, with a film

over it.

5.The main two symbols represent the eye being an object that watches the narrator and the heart represents the emotional center in the body and the time passing by as the heart beats.

6.The sound the narrator hears is a moan of terror that gets louder and louder.

7.If the main character was a woman I think the story would be a little more surprising

8.The narrator said louder in a line and i think it really showed his madness

1) The reason that the title is "The Tell-Tale Heart" is because at the end of the story he confession he killed the old man because he thinks he heard his heart beating.

2) Implying that he is mad makes him think that he is crazy and he really doesn't like being called crazy. this impacts the story by making the reader think he's smart, not crazy.

3)They had a good relationship until the narrator started to get deserved by the old man's eye. I think one eye is white because he is blind in one eye.

4)I don't think that he would have killed the old man if he didn't have the eye because he says, "something around the lines of, I Loved the old man. It's just that evil eye of his."

5)The two main symbols in this story are the eye and the heart. The eye represents the reason why the narrator is trying to kill the old man. The heart represents the guilt that the narrator feels for killing the old man. They are important to the story because they are the reason why he killed the old man and why he admitted to doing it to the police.

6)The sound the narrator thinks he hears is the old man's heartbeat. In reality, it's probably the guilt of killing the old man the reason it gets louder and louder is that he grows more guilty the more he thinks about it.

7)It would not change the story, the murder would still happen and the person would still confess most likely.

8) In the last few paragraphs the narrator emphasizes the word "Louder--Louder--Louder" This impacts the story because it shows how guilty the narrator ends up feeling.

1 The significance of the title symbolizes pressure and crime resulting in guiltiness.

2. The author calls himself nervous but not mad because he thinks that this story is okay, and he does not realize that the story is wrong. He doesn’t know he is guilty but he is really insane.

3. The relationship between the old man and the narrator is a kind one in the day, but at night it's not because the narrator wants to kill the old man. The old man's eye is probably like that from a birth defect.

4. I don’t think the narrator would have killed the old man because he liked the old man but he didn’t like his eye so if he didn’t have the eye he wouldn’t have been killed

5. The eye represents the narrator not liking the eye and having hatred for it, while the heart represents the old man's heart still beating under the floorboards, causing the narrator to get nervous.

6. The narrator hears the old man's heart beat. In reality, it is really his ear ringing. It starts getting louder and louder because his fear and anxiety is increasing, and he just can’t take it anymore.

7. If it was a woman, it would’ve changed my perspective because men are capable and stronger of way more, and realizing a girl could’ve done that many things changes the story quite a bit.

8. The phrase, “LOUDER, LOUDER”, impacts the story because it shows how he is getting crazier by every minute.
