Narrative Technique

Explanation]]> 2021-09-28 12:29:32 UTC https://padlet.com/rbrohkahn/tnltmr08crwujqz9/wish/1774398092 https://padlet.com/rbrohkahn/tnltmr08crwujqz9/wish/1775049809 "Chilled the very marrow in my bones." 
The narrative technique of this sentence is imagery as the author trying to get us to picture the story and what is happening in extreme detail, thus the use of the word "the very". The author also went into more detail in that sentence and could have left our the word "marrow" but did not as he wanted the book to be as detailed as possible.  (Jayden Briggs)]]> 2021-09-28 15:24:27 UTC https://padlet.com/rbrohkahn/tnltmr08crwujqz9/wish/1775049809 https://padlet.com/rbrohkahn/tnltmr08crwujqz9/wish/1775055777 Technique: Imagery & reppetitive words

Example: "I think it was his eye! Yes, it was this- he had an eye of a vulture- a pale blue eye with a film over it"
When the narrator showed told us the description he made us imagine we were there and he also made/helped us understand what the eye looks like that the narrator was so afraid of and so he repeated the description and the hatred for the eye over and over to describe what he saw and to really show his fear]]> 2021-09-28 15:26:02 UTC https://padlet.com/rbrohkahn/tnltmr08crwujqz9/wish/1775055777 https://padlet.com/rbrohkahn/tnltmr08crwujqz9/wish/1775059508 "Upon the eighth night I was more than usually cautious in opening the door." And "...and he not even to dream of my secret deeds or thoughts."
This sentence shows foreshadowing as to what he was going to do to the old man, slowly making his way in, he was going to kill him, and the old man would be oblivious to it. This is also an example of dramatic irony.]]> 2021-09-28 15:26:59 UTC https://padlet.com/rbrohkahn/tnltmr08crwujqz9/wish/1775059508 https://padlet.com/rbrohkahn/tnltmr08crwujqz9/wish/1775070705 The narrative technique he created was imagery because it created a type of setting that was very creepy and scary, hearing the old man heart beat was like the beating of a drum stimulates the soldier into courage that was also a indication on what he was hearing at that time.]]> 2021-09-28 15:29:57 UTC https://padlet.com/rbrohkahn/tnltmr08crwujqz9/wish/1775070705 https://padlet.com/rbrohkahn/tnltmr08crwujqz9/wish/1775071831 Technique: Vivid Wording

"I removed 
the bed and examined the corpse. Yes, he was stone, stone 
dead. I placed my hand upon the heart and held it there many 
minutes. There was no pulsation. He was stone dead. His eye 
would trouble me no more."

head, I put in a dark lantern, all closed, closed, so that no
light shone out, and then I thrust in my head. Oh, you would
have laughed to see how cunningly I thrust it in! I moved it
slowly—very, very slowly, so that I might not disturb the old
man’s sleep."
Technique: Vivid imagery
Explanation: He makes it very clear that he went very slowly and was dedicated. He also, seems to be very proud of this.

The Narrative Technique is leaving the reader in the dark. I know this because in the book in the first page and first paragraph. "True!—nervous—very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am! but why will you say that I am mad? The disease had sharpened my senses—not destroyed—not dulled them. Above all was the sense of hearing acute. I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in hell. How, then, am I mad? Hearken! and observe how healthily—how calmly I can tell you the whole story." We don't know much about the narrator or what is happening. Which leaves us wondering what is going to happen and what is happening.]]> 2021-09-28 15:30:38 UTC https://padlet.com/rbrohkahn/tnltmr08crwujqz9/wish/1775073242 https://padlet.com/rbrohkahn/tnltmr08crwujqz9/wish/1775075387 " Black as pitch with the thick darkness" how this makes it suspenseful is because you don't know what is in the darkness so it makes you want to know more about what will happen.]]> 2021-09-28 15:31:13 UTC https://padlet.com/rbrohkahn/tnltmr08crwujqz9/wish/1775075387 https://padlet.com/rbrohkahn/tnltmr08crwujqz9/wish/1775079748  The technique: Atmosphere

"But the beating grew louder, louder! I thought
the heart must burst. And now a new anxiety seized me—the sound would be heard by a neighbor!"
The narrator showed how scared the old man and how worried the narrator himself was thinking that someone might hear what's happening and he might get caught which he didn't want to happen at all. ]]> 2021-09-28 15:32:21 UTC https://padlet.com/rbrohkahn/tnltmr08crwujqz9/wish/1775079748 https://padlet.com/rbrohkahn/tnltmr08crwujqz9/wish/1775085161 "You fancy me mad. Madmen know
nothing. But you should have seen me. You should have seen how wisely I proceeded—with what caution—with what
foresight—with what dissimulation I went to work!"

Narrative Technique: vivid wording
I chose this quote because it creates the suspense of wondering how he killed the old man and more into why he did so.]]> 2021-09-28 15:33:47 UTC https://padlet.com/rbrohkahn/tnltmr08crwujqz9/wish/1775085161 https://padlet.com/rbrohkahn/tnltmr08crwujqz9/wish/1775086227 Page 89
Technique: Dramatic irony
  "I made up my mind to kill the old man"
This is an example of dramatic irony because we know that he was/is going to kill the old man but the old man doesn't know.]]> 2021-09-28 15:34:05 UTC https://padlet.com/rbrohkahn/tnltmr08crwujqz9/wish/1775086227 https://padlet.com/rbrohkahn/tnltmr08crwujqz9/wish/1775116379 Page 91 
"Death, in
approaching him, had stalked with his black shadow before
him, and enveloped the victim"
The narrative technique used in this is style and vivid imagery because the words he used can give us a distinctive image of how i could have look at.]]> 2021-09-28 15:42:13 UTC https://padlet.com/rbrohkahn/tnltmr08crwujqz9/wish/1775116379 https://padlet.com/rbrohkahn/tnltmr08crwujqz9/wish/1775117698 "No doubt I now grew very pale;—but I talked more 
fluently, and with a heightened voice. Yet the sound 
increased—and what could I do? It was a low, dull, quick 
sound—much such a sound as a watch makes when enveloped 
in cotton."
This sentence shows suspense because we are trying to figure out what is that sound is or what is to come next. ]]> 2021-09-28 15:42:36 UTC https://padlet.com/rbrohkahn/tnltmr08crwujqz9/wish/1775117698 https://padlet.com/rbrohkahn/tnltmr08crwujqz9/wish/1775123063  Black as pitch with the thick darkness" how this makes it suspenseful is because you don't know what is in the darkness so it makes you want to know more about what will happen.]]> 2021-09-28 15:43:58 UTC https://padlet.com/rbrohkahn/tnltmr08crwujqz9/wish/1775123063 https://padlet.com/rbrohkahn/tnltmr08crwujqz9/wish/1775134393 "His room was as black as pitch with the thick darkness (for the shutters were close fastened, through fear of robbers), and so I knew that he could not see the opening of the door, and I kept pushing it on steadily, I had my head in, and was about to open the lantern, when my thumb slipped upon the tin fastening," (# 90 to 91)

Technique- Suspense

According to this short excerpt, we know that the narrator is peering into the old man's room very carefully so as to go unnoticed. We also know he has made a mistake which has affected the quietness of the old man's room in the endeavor to obtain a view of his eye. The suspense here is in the question; will the old man wake up and react or will the narrator's mishap go unnoticed?

not move a muscle, and in the meantime I did not hear him
lie down." 
Technique: Word of choice because the author used figurative language. No one can stay in one position for an hour and not move a single muscle unless they are dead.]]> 2021-09-29 04:47:06 UTC https://padlet.com/rbrohkahn/tnltmr08crwujqz9/wish/1776889336
