I think that paragraph 12 is best for showing that the narrator does things with precaution because when he killed the man he carefully hid the old man's dead body. ]]> 2017-10-06 16:17:37 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcgruther1/qkwxqmzhe6tc/wish/194757449 Oliver Figueroa - Celi https://padlet.com/kmcgruther1/qkwxqmzhe6tc/wish/194757517 I think paragraphs 3, 11 & 17 is best for showing conflict because paragraph 3 shows why the narrator doesn't like the old man or why he wants to kill him. Then paragraph 11 is when the narrator kills the old man which is the climax. Lastly paragraph 17 shows conflict because it is when the narrator hears the old man's heart beating louder and then admits to the police that he killed the old man. ]]> 2017-10-06 16:17:43 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcgruther1/qkwxqmzhe6tc/wish/194757517 Leslie Hernandez https://padlet.com/kmcgruther1/qkwxqmzhe6tc/wish/194757627 I think paragraph 17 is best for showing the mad man's pity because he could no longer contain the amount of guilt for killing the old man. ]]> 2017-10-06 16:17:59 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcgruther1/qkwxqmzhe6tc/wish/194757627 Johanna Ariza https://padlet.com/kmcgruther1/qkwxqmzhe6tc/wish/194757629 I think that paragraph 11 of The Tell Tale Heart is best for showing amplification because the emphasizing of heart beat is told throughout the rest of the story and it makes the narrator at the end tell he killed the old man because he couldn't take the heart beat any longer.
Paragraph 14 also shows dramatic irony because we the audience know that the policemen are playing games with him by staying long in the house until he told he killed the old man but the narrator didn't know and was having a hard time keeping his secret]]> 2017-10-06 16:18:00 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcgruther1/qkwxqmzhe6tc/wish/194757629 Joshua Mendez joshua24831 https://padlet.com/kmcgruther1/qkwxqmzhe6tc/wish/194757686 I think paragraph 16 best describes the mad man because it shows that even thought the man is ill and mad he still had a conscious for the old man he killed and couldn't take it.]]> 2017-10-06 16:18:08 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcgruther1/qkwxqmzhe6tc/wish/194757686 Maggie Cortes https://padlet.com/kmcgruther1/qkwxqmzhe6tc/wish/194757724 I think paragraph 1 is best for showing parallelism because the narrator keeps repeating the same phrases "I am" and " I have" which gives the story more of thriller type of feel because he killed someone.]]> 2017-10-06 16:18:14 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcgruther1/qkwxqmzhe6tc/wish/194757724 Orlando Castillo orlando23633 https://padlet.com/kmcgruther1/qkwxqmzhe6tc/wish/194757791 I think paragraph 1 is best for characterization because the mad man says that many people calls him mad but he explains that he is only that way because of the illness he has.  
The mad man is very ill and can hear, think, and listen better after his illness went away. The vulture eye of the old man bothers him since his sense are better, this doesn't help since the vulture eye terrifies him.

Parapgrahs 3 and 10 show that whenever the narrator sees the old man's vulture eye, something triggers in him and he looses it. 

The heartbeat is also a symbol because it, too, represents how the narrator is ill. The last paragraphs are best to support this because the narrator is haunted by them and looses it once again, causing him to confess to his crimes.]]> 2017-10-06 16:18:34 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcgruther1/qkwxqmzhe6tc/wish/194757871 Brianna Ellen https://padlet.com/kmcgruther1/qkwxqmzhe6tc/wish/194757891 I think that paragraph 3 of the Tell Tale Heart is best for showing symbolism because it mentions the old man's "vulture" eye. This eye is a symbol for this story because it is mentioned throughout the entire story, as it is the reason as to why the mad man does everything he did from killing the old man to watching him day and night. ]]> 2017-10-06 16:18:37 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcgruther1/qkwxqmzhe6tc/wish/194757891 Gaby Ramirez gaby23831 https://padlet.com/kmcgruther1/qkwxqmzhe6tc/wish/194758084 I think that paragraphs 1, 3,  and 11 of The Tell- Tale Heart, shows characterization of the main character because paragraph 1 first starts by describing that he thinks that he is ill. In addition, paragraph 3 describes what the conflict is, which is that he hates the old man's eye to the point that he plans on killing the old man. Lastly, paragraph 11 mentions how he hears the old man cry of fear, but does not stop his plan but continue it by officially killing him. These paragraphs show how apathetic and determined he is.]]> 2017-10-06 16:19:07 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcgruther1/qkwxqmzhe6tc/wish/194758084 Giovanna Flores https://padlet.com/kmcgruther1/qkwxqmzhe6tc/wish/194758253 - I think that paragraph 5 shows how the man/narrator is really  determined to kill the old man because he explains how everyday he would do the same thing at the same time for 7 days straight. 
- In paragraph 17 it also, shows how the man/narrator felt guilt  for killing the old man because he kept on hearing the sound of his heartbeat and eventually turned himself in. ]]> 2017-10-06 16:19:24 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcgruther1/qkwxqmzhe6tc/wish/194758253 Michelle Cano- Literary Luminary https://padlet.com/kmcgruther1/qkwxqmzhe6tc/wish/194758260 I think that paragraph 4-10 of The Tell Tale Heart is strong for showing Dramatic Irony because the readers knows the murders plan to kill the old man. He was shinning light onto his eye and coming in his house without the old man knowing he was there.]]> 2017-10-06 16:19:25 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcgruther1/qkwxqmzhe6tc/wish/194758260 Sophia Liu https://padlet.com/kmcgruther1/qkwxqmzhe6tc/wish/194758268 I think that paragraph 3 of the Tell Tale Heart is best for showing symbolism because, of the symbolism on the old man's vulture like eyes. The old man's eye's could have been symbolized how the narrator was mentally ill and the eye's gave him a bad vibe or sense. Even though the narrator loved the old man he despised the cold eye. ]]> 2017-10-06 16:19:26 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcgruther1/qkwxqmzhe6tc/wish/194758268 Kaitlyn Santos kaitlyn25018 https://padlet.com/kmcgruther1/qkwxqmzhe6tc/wish/194758425 I think that paragraph 16 of the Tell Tale Heart is strong for showing conflict because this is man vs. self. The man hears the beating heart of the old man but it was just him hearing it in his mind. This led the man to confess that he was guilty of the old mans murder.]]> 2017-10-06 16:19:50 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcgruther1/qkwxqmzhe6tc/wish/194758425 Allison Sanchez https://padlet.com/kmcgruther1/qkwxqmzhe6tc/wish/194758534 I think that paragraph 17 of The Tell Tale Heart shows characterization because it shows that the narrator has morals because after he killed the old man he still confessed his murder. ]]> 2017-10-06 16:20:02 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcgruther1/qkwxqmzhe6tc/wish/194758534 Emery Melendez https://padlet.com/kmcgruther1/qkwxqmzhe6tc/wish/194758711 In paragraph 16 of the Tell Tale Heart is strong for showing the pounding noise the narrator hears symbolizes the guilt that the narrator is feeling after killing the old man it's not the old man's heart but the narrators heart pounding louder and louder.]]> 2017-10-06 16:20:27 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcgruther1/qkwxqmzhe6tc/wish/194758711 Juana Perez https://padlet.com/kmcgruther1/qkwxqmzhe6tc/wish/194758723 I think that paragraph 1 of The Tell-Tale-Heart, the author shows characterizations because he explains how the narrator can hear sounds from heaven and hell. This makes the reader inference that he is mad and insane.]]> 2017-10-06 16:20:29 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcgruther1/qkwxqmzhe6tc/wish/194758723 Ingrid Bravo https://padlet.com/kmcgruther1/qkwxqmzhe6tc/wish/194758910 The symbol in Tell-Tale Heart is the "vulture eye". This made the man mad, he had the need to kill the old man to get rid of the eye. ]]> 2017-10-06 16:20:52 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcgruther1/qkwxqmzhe6tc/wish/194758910 Aryan Patel https://padlet.com/kmcgruther1/qkwxqmzhe6tc/wish/194758921 I think multiple paragraphs, such as 1, 4, and 12 are best showing repetition because in these paragraphs, the narrator constantly repeats the question, "So you say I am mad?", thinking that his actions were not cruel or vile, even though they were, as considered by the police since its not the old man's fault his eye looks like a vulture and scares the narrator.]]> 2017-10-06 16:20:53 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcgruther1/qkwxqmzhe6tc/wish/194758921 Jesus Capellan ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) jesus24294 https://padlet.com/kmcgruther1/qkwxqmzhe6tc/wish/194759241 I believe that the short story of the Tell-Tale Heart, particularly the resolution, strongly shows dramatically irony as the readers know that the narrator has mental and psychological problems but he does not know/believe that he is mad. According to paragraph 1, the narrator was ill and sick. Additionally, the narrator hears the heartbeat of a dead man which isn't possible.]]> 2017-10-06 16:21:36 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcgruther1/qkwxqmzhe6tc/wish/194759241 Anna https://padlet.com/kmcgruther1/qkwxqmzhe6tc/wish/194760206 In the novel the Tell Tale Heart the eye is the symbol in the story talking about the old man eyes that gave him a feeling to kill the old man and get rid of the old mans vultures eye. ]]> 2017-10-06 16:23:54 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcgruther1/qkwxqmzhe6tc/wish/194760206 Max Kseniuk maxim308198 https://padlet.com/kmcgruther1/qkwxqmzhe6tc/wish/194760247 I think that paragraph 17 of the Tell-Tale Heart is strong for showing Man vs. Self because it shows that the man is determined to get away with the murder of the vulture-eyed man but instead confesses because of him still hearing his heart beating.

 In the novel Tell- Tale Heart paragraph 16 it states "  Suddenly I knew that the sound was not in my ears, it was not just inside my head. At that moment I must have become quite white. I talked still faster and louder. And the sound, too, became louder. "  This shows characterization within the character because the madman shows he is paranoid because he keeps hearing a sound in his head  after he kills the old man which causes him to confess.]]> 2017-10-06 16:26:37 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcgruther1/qkwxqmzhe6tc/wish/194761440 Owen https://padlet.com/kmcgruther1/qkwxqmzhe6tc/wish/194761572 In think that paragraphs 1-3 of Tell Tale Heart is strong for showing Man vs Self because it shows the narrators thoughts which tell himself of the murder. Also throughout those paragraphs he battles himself over whether it was normal of a person to do something like that.]]> 2017-10-06 16:26:50 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcgruther1/qkwxqmzhe6tc/wish/194761572
