Question 3 : What do you think about the whole story? Do you like it? Why?
I think the whole story is quite interesting and scary at the same time. I like how the story starts with the loving and caring narrator but the moment he start to stab the cat's eye. It breaks my heart. I did not expect he could do that because he is kind and loving person before. The unpredictable moment make me want to know more about the story. The more I know about the story, the more I think he is a psychopath. It is because I don't think a normal person could think so many ways to buried a body. Especially the body is their loving wife. It's such a heart breaking moment. But he seems okay all the time. In the end, I think he should being hospitalize because of his condition seems not very well.

I think the whole story is great but I don't like it. This story makes me uncomfortable when he start to be mean towards his wife and he willing to stab the cat's eye. I felt sympathy for him as he lost himself to his ilness and felt sorry after realise the terrible thing he did. I'm getting mad when he hang the cat at the garden. I thought the ending was he will change when he's home on fire. But the ending is unpredictable. He cut his wife's head in two just because she stop him from hurt the cat. He even calm when their neighbours ask about his wife. He completely changed from lovely person to the mean man.

From my perspective, the story “Black Cat” by Edgar Allen Poe is kind of scary and frightening because the story started with the deep voice of the narrator without any background sound saying “black cat”. Plus, the story is a psycho-like story about the man who used to be a nice and loving man but grew to be someone evil and bad. The story is also talking about death and murdering. Just thinking about the way the man murdered his first black cat, Pluto, by hanging it by its neck on a tree, and his wife, by using an axe, are giving me goosebumps. Besides, the man action of hiding his wife body in the house wall to eliminate the evidence is such an insane action. I think this story is not recommended to someone who have trauma or anxiety about murdering and death. Personally, i like this story because i really love horror story althought I’m not really good at handling my fear. However, this story is still a bit scary for me especially when listening to it alone. Anyway, I did enjoy this story ^^

QUESTION 2 : WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE NARRATOR AS A PERSON?

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinions, the narrator was a good person because he told us that he was once a kind and loving person since he was young. He was a pet lover because he loves animals more than everything. He always spent most of his time with all his animals. Then,after few years, he married to his wife and was happy that he found out that his wife also loves to be friends with animals too. But, all of this happiness and love was not lastlong. The narrator suddenly changed, he was not himself anymore. He became a bad guy when he started to drink alcohol. He can't stop to drink. He even drank more, more and more, and finally he lost his mind and out of control. The narrator's perverse actions was brought on by his alcoholism, disease, and fiend which also destroyed his personality and life. So, we can conclude that every action that we want to do, we need to think about the concequences we may face. Last but not least, the moral of the story is we need to stay away from alcohol because alcohol is very harmful and may affects our health.

QUESTION 1: Why is the titled called The Black Cat

# data[].attributes.body
Based on the story entitled Black Cat by Edgar Allan Poe, the reason why this story is called The Black Cat is because the whole story are related to this one huge black cat that brings misfortune to the narrator’s life. Some believe that black cat is the incarnation of evil, some ugly enemy in that creature, but this only sounds hilarious to the narrator’s wife although pluto, a huge black cat, was seemed to be the intelligent one among the other animals. Soon, little by little, there was no longer the old affectionate man who spend almost of his childhood living with animals. All that left was a filthy guy with full of evil thoughts. All of these were caused by that tragic and ill-fate black cat. The narrator kept on growing his anger and hateful feelings towards animals due to highly consumed liquor. As day passed by, the storyteller is now in the state of killing his dear animal, his best friend , his buddy. At last, he also killed his precious wife and blamed the new cat that resembled the late pluto that in the end, he strongly believed that the cat was pluto. A cheerful and zoophilist man turned to be mad and insane person due to a large black cat that came ruined his life.

Q3:WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE WHOLE STORY ?DO YOU LIKE IT? WHY?

In my opinions,The Black Cat story is outstanding. The reason why i said this story is outstanding because  of the  moral value that been shown in this story with is do not drink alcohol.
This story made me realised how bad the effects that we will get from drinking alcohol.From a person that people loved to be with to became soulless murder, a murder that didn' t feel guilty for his crime.
Eventh though the moral value is just about stay away from alcohol, but the storytelling makes this moral become so strong. The storytelling gets a credit from me because I can't even predict it gonna be so horror and interesting. Who
knows the black cat gonna reveal the crime that the narrator did. For me it is unpredictable and such a nice way to end up the story.If someone asks me to rate this story,my rating would be 5 over 5 stars
for this masterpiece

Q3. What do you think about the whole story? Do you like it? Why?

I think the story is interesting, I can learn a lot from it. I do not like the story. Firstly, I strongly believe that black cats bring bad luck to life is a myth. You should not blame the cats for your wrongdoings. I believe the narrator was sober when he committed the horrific murder and decided to keep his wife's body - consciously. This proves he is a sick man, needed help and fully responsible for what happened to his wife. Secondly, he knew that drinking alcohol was the reason he was changing into a bad person but he did not stop drinking. Due to that, he lost his wife and his cat, he could not control himself anymore from doing horrible things. Hence, what I learnt from the story is that every action we take, there is the consequences we must face and alcohol is harmful, not only for your mind but it also dangerous for your health if you drink it without limitation.

Personally, this story gave me a major headache but I do not necessarily dislike it. First of all, the storyline intrigued me nevertheless it feel to surreal to be true. The reason is because, there is no way a sane person would hurt any kind of animal to the point they ended up dead however, despite how thrilling and disturbing this story is, there are many lessons  that we can learn. For instance, we need to learn how to control our anger so that the anger will not ended up consuming us. In conclusion, we need to think twice before we act because by the time we realize our mistakes, it is already too late to lock the stable when the horse has been stolen

Based on the story entitled ‘Black Cat’ by Edgar Allan Poe,the whole story literally give me heebie-jeebies because of the unexpected plot twist and also the narrator’s voice which quite scary.At first,the man once a very loving person sice he was a little boy because he spent most of his time by taking care of his animals.Fortunately,he married to a woman whom also loves animals.But in this story,he only focus on the black cat named Pluto which he loved the most.Out of sudden,the loving man change to a  horrible person just because of alcohol.He begin to hurt anyone or anything around him without feel guilty.Hence,it is well proven that alcohol may influence anyone to do bad things.As the example,the narrator mistreats his own wife whom he love dearly and also other animals but…never Pluto.Day by day,his illness getting worse and worse.On that night,Pluto bit him as it is scared and that only wake up the evil beast in himself.He totally insane as he cut out one of Pluto’s eyes.Then,he being heartless by hanging Pluto by its neck till dead.After some times,the narrator found a black cat which seems very look alike Pluto except the white patch on its body.He begin to love the cat but suddenly love turn to hate.He insisted to kill the cat but his wife tend to stop him.He became possessed by a demon then he killed his own wife! He decides to keep his wife in the middle of the thick wall so that no one will know.Regarding to this story,I have a mixed feelings especially when the narrator’s behavior totally change.He became addicted to alcohol since it give him calmness.But without his consent,everything become totally mess.He lost his old self.In a nutshell,we must be kind towards everyone imcluding animals.We also must know how to overcome our problems in a good way instead of being drunk in order to avoid any bad circumstances later.

Personally , I think that the narrator was a good person because of his past was full of love and great memories . It could be seen through his actions towards animals and his wife . However , an alcohol can bring negative impact to him , repeatedly drinking alcohol make him became an alcoholic .His mind was not in a sober state to think straight that he loses all of his temper and become a monster . Proof of this , his actions to the cats and his wife was such a horrible things that he even kill his wife and hide her body in one of the walls of the cellar. Unfortunately , the characteristic shown by the neighbours which was they cared about the narrator and his wife plus it was the time when the truth are revealed by the polices . As the saying goes , curses , like chicken come home to roost . In this story we can conclude that no matter how hard you’re trying to hide the most evil thing you ever done eventually ,  the unspoken truth will be revealed.

Based on the story, I think the title called The Black Cat because the narrator tell us about his favourite animal just like his best friend, that is a cat named Pluto. Pluto was very large and beautiful animal. Moreover,  he was black, black all over and very intelligent cat. Unfortunately, some people believe that  all black cat are evil, or a sign of bad lucks. Furthermore, the narrator tell us the whole story about the terrible tragedy in his life with Pluto. He started to lose his previous attitude because he is under alcohol addiction and he always doing horrible things to his dear Pluto and his wife until both die. Last but not least, the cat evil voice was sending him to the gallows because he was a murder.

QUESTION 3                     Based on this story “The Black Cat” by Edgar Allan Poe,I have found that this story is interesting and also creepy. This story is great because it gives a lot of lessons to the reader.At first,the narrator shows a good vibe.His early love for animals and marriage to a woman of the same sentiments, who presents him with many pets. Among all of these, theres one animal that he really loves which is a black cat names Pluto. Unfortunately this narrator involved with alcohol and drug. When this narrator becomes addicted to alcohol he becomes insane and does bad things.For example, he mistreats his wife and their other animals, but he never hurts Pluto but one night presumably out of frustration he seizes the cat which has been avoiding him. When it bites him, the narrator says he became possessed by a demon and with his pocket knife cut out one of the cat’s eyes. The narrator hangs the cat 'in cold blood' from a tree.The narrator sees a cat remarkably similar to Pluto, except that on his chest is a white patch. The cat follows him home. At first, the narrator likes the cat, but soon he can't stand the cat at all, especially after he notices that one of its eyes is missing..Eventually, the narrator is driven so mad that he tries to kill the cat with an axe. His wife intervenes, and the narrator ends up killing his wife. He decides to conceal the body inside his house, behind the wall of the basement.The narrator choose alcohol to calm himself but unfortunately it is more harmful.This shows us that we have to choose the right path to control our emotions so that we will not regret it soon.

Based on the story ,I think that this story is interesting and some parts give me goosebumps but we can take a lot of lessons from this story.The narrator's transformation via alcohol from a family man who loves his wife  and pets to a moody maniac makes this story interesting.This transformation is psychological and the result of the narrator's alcohol addiction. Because of alcohol,he hit his wife and did horrible things to their pets but never Pluto,his beloved black cat.His illness was getting worse and he began to hurt Pluto just because Pluto didn't want to hang out with him.He cut one of Pluto's eyes and killed the cat by hung its neck from a tree.He also insanely killed his wife because she was  trying to stop him when he wanted to kill a cat which was similar to Pluto.He was afraid of that cat because it kept reminding him of Pluto.He even hid his wife's dead body in a thick wall.This was shown us a lesson that when someone addicted to drink,it's hard to control their emotions,imagine about bad things and even can causes a crime .Moreover, it is a huge probability that we can lost our loved ones too if we take actions without thinking.

This story  quite interesting and i like it,it is because the unexpected plots twist.The black cat has been accused as a devil because of the old people's trust.Well-being life related to human decision and nothing to do with any colours of his pet.Unrasional decision that lead destuction,it is when the man take the alcohol and be out of control.He possible to do the horrible thing that out of his mind,such as he killed his beloved cat and his lifes partner.So,for conclusion the man should not blame the cat because of his unwise actions by take the alcohol and end up in the gallows.

In my opinion, the story The Black Cat was unpredictable and interesting even though the story make me feel horrified. I do like the story because it has a lot of meanings and values that we can learnt from it. In the beginning of the story, the narrator shown a good vibes as an example from the story stated that the narrator was a kind and loving person. He loves animal more than anything since he was young but after some time he changed a lot. He began to abused and hate his wife and his pets. In my opinion, the narrator changed because he was influenced by the bad culture around him. He started to change after he started drinking alchohol. Other than that, the story also tell us about karma. I beliefs that the reason why the narrator was send to the gallow, is due to his action towards his wife and his cat. At first he killed his dear black cat, Pluto by hanged it at the tree. And later on after some times, he found another black cat as similar as Pluto. The narrator hate the cat and tried to kill it but somehow he murdered his wife instead. Despite having the nightmare about his beloved cat, he also notice about the gallows shape at the new black cat but the narrator didn’t regret his action and in my opinion that is why he was found guilty even he tried to hide about the case. To sum up, this story is nice but some people may feel uncomfortable with the story because of the narrator action. Overall, the story shown a lot of values that we can take note and learnt from it.

I think the outline for this story is good  because it tells about a rotten man and the innocent animals . The genre of this story include a horror feel , sad and a little bit of frustration to the narrator who was killed the black cat, Pluto  and his very own lovely wife in vicious way . Besides ,  I like the story because the storyline was great and i cannot even expect the ending to be that way because the narrator was an animal lover in his younger days but he lost his logical sense after he become an alcoholic and start to flagellate the innocent animal . Personally, i think this story tell us a moral about the effect of drinking alcohol could harm their own self and others because the drinker lost his sanity when he want to take a action .

What I think about the narrator as a person? In my opinion, I think the narrator has a big heart, but I have changed my perspective toward him right after, he was become out of his mind when he started to drink alcohol.the narrator is a horrible person,how could he hit his wife and murder an innoncent animal. His life was becoming upside down, from a good guy to an evil person.The narrator is like being possessed by someone else in his body but I think this is because he can't control his anger and do the ridiculous things. He let the alcohol control his mind and body. I'm sure he still a good guy if he not choose to be an alcoholic.

For me, this story is quite interesting because it has a lot of unpredictable and moral scenes. First, because the cat is black in colour, some people say that cat are evil. This shows that people tend to judge something only by its appearance. This story also shows us when you serve animal with love, it will always be by your side. And when you do the opposite thing, it will stay away from you when they see you. It also shows us when you do a bad thing, you will get retribution. I also cannot believe that the husband dared to kill his wife because just she wanted to protect the cat. He also did not feel sad or guilty on his wife’s death and act like nothing happen. In conclusion, we should always be kind because a bad deed will bring us to a bad consequences even though we try to hide the bad thing.

Base on whole story it's has curtain part that I love but others I dislike. It's good story for giving lessons. It teach us to control our anger. As we know it not many people can handle their emotional. Just because the narrator can't control his anger, he become mad and illusion. He pull off his favorite cat just because it's annoying. He kill his beloved wife when she tried to kill the cat. He choose alcohol to calm himself but unfortunately the alcohol fuel up his anger. It's give lessons to us to choose the right part to control our emotions so we will not regret it. But the part that I dislike is the story genre. It's more like paranormal and spiritual. How could the police man can hear his late wife scream toward the wall?  If only the narrator heard it that's possible because he is crazy and mad guy. He already cuts his wife body into small pieces but how the body perfectly and only has the blood flow. How a cat can burn the house? It's gave me a lots unsolved questions. It's made us believe that black cat is a curse cat while that untrue. If he said that is his karma than it is acceptable because everyone has their own karma. We must be kind to everyone including the animals. That's my simple summary.

In my perspective,the whole story is kinda boring at first but it starts to give a bunch of different emotions after the narrator take one stupid mistakes which is drinking that could lead to such teriffying ending.In the beggining of the story,the narrator is actually a very kind man who loves animal and also a loving husband.But we also can see that drinking give a heavy impact on both body and mind of the narrator which is lead to abuse and kills his wife .The narrator condition get more worse by seen how the narrator treats his favourite black cat when he gauges one of its eyes .And to answer the question i do like this story because it shows that every choices we take have their owns consequence .That is why our elders always kept reminding us to choose wisely before you make an choices even though it actually just a simple things.Other then that, the whole story has positive and negative lesson that teachs us the reality of this world but it depends on us to  manage our own path.

What do you think about the narrator as a person?
For me, he is very bad and has an abnormal mind .He was having the phase of identity confusion and it all started when he become a drinker. He is also become danger than animals when he dare to harm his own cat in such a tragic way and that evil man also harm his own wife that he used to love before. I also think that he is very mean guy since he can even answer his neighbors question about his wife in a very calm and ease way such nothing had happen. He also owned the heart of evil as he could hide his wife body in his house. In one of the wall of the cellar.
