He also tries to defend his actions, which doesn't work out for him, as he as a seizure-like panic attack at the end of the story. This affects the way I understand the story because I have to read the book from a neutral point of view, so I have to take his word for some things with a grain of salt.]]> 2022-09-14 19:33:35 UTC https://padlet.com/awhalen5/y4pbtqn1l67na93x/wish/2296990327 https://padlet.com/awhalen5/y4pbtqn1l67na93x/wish/2297140096 I feel that the narrator is untrostworthy because he is mentally ill. He killed a man and on top of that he could have not got in trouble but admitted it to the police because he is a madman. We also see him have something like a panic attack at the end. On the other hand we don't know the extent of the lies he tells in the story so he could have been truthful to some extant to.]]> 2022-09-14 22:25:02 UTC https://padlet.com/awhalen5/y4pbtqn1l67na93x/wish/2297140096 https://padlet.com/awhalen5/y4pbtqn1l67na93x/wish/2297408531 I trust him to give me a general idea of what happened, but not to give me an unbiased or unchanged story, as the narrator was a madman: he stalked the old man and killed + dismembered the old man, also hiding his body under the floorboards, all just because of one irregularly-looking eye. It doesn't change how I read the story because I'm just absorbing information on what is happening, has happened, and will happen, the plot, and the character(s). The trust level affects the way I understand it though because after I read the story, I can separate fact from fiction of what happened and understand how some parts were made up. I can also understand more about the plot and the character(s) after I analyze the story.]]> 2022-09-15 02:19:31 UTC https://padlet.com/awhalen5/y4pbtqn1l67na93x/wish/2297408531 https://padlet.com/awhalen5/y4pbtqn1l67na93x/wish/2297499033 I trust the narrator only a bit because of his mental state. I am able to believe that he killed the man, the police arrived, and that he snuck into the old man's house at night, but I am unable to trust the Madman because he killed the man because of his blue eye. Also, he hears the beat of the old man's heart when the man is dead, so he probably has a mental illness. He has a sort of panic attack because of the beating and points out what he did to the police of all people. It does affect the way I understand the story because I don't know what it would be like from a "normal" person's view, since the narrator is a Madman and tried to justify his sanity by telling us how he chopped of the limbs of the man. If the story was narrated by a man with a healthy mind, it would've depicted a madman killing another man because of the other man's "vulture eye". I am only able to understand the story from the Madman's point of view, and there were no other people present, but if there were, the story would've been more simple and easy to understand and analyze.]]> 2022-09-15 03:25:37 UTC https://padlet.com/awhalen5/y4pbtqn1l67na93x/wish/2297499033 https://padlet.com/awhalen5/y4pbtqn1l67na93x/wish/2298828423 I don't trust the narrarator because he is literally mad, and he knows that. I think he's too affected by the eye, and that's bad. If we had seen it from another point of view, he defintely might have seemed different but I think his point of view and what he committed was scary in general. So, I don't trust him. ]]> 2022-09-15 18:43:55 UTC https://padlet.com/awhalen5/y4pbtqn1l67na93x/wish/2298828423 28jluo https://padlet.com/awhalen5/y4pbtqn1l67na93x/wish/2298829456 I don't trust the narrator (madman) because he's mentally ill and cannot think straight. He was the one who stalked the old man at midnight and killed him, so if he were to retell the story, he would probably change it to try to justify why he did it.]]> 2022-09-15 18:44:43 UTC https://padlet.com/awhalen5/y4pbtqn1l67na93x/wish/2298829456 28achandra1 https://padlet.com/awhalen5/y4pbtqn1l67na93x/wish/2298830591 I think the narrator does affect the story, but this is because the story is first person. Because he is dictating the murder that HE commited, he is bound to be biased towards himself. I think the story could be understood better if it was third person, as it would show less bias.]]> 2022-09-15 18:45:29 UTC https://padlet.com/awhalen5/y4pbtqn1l67na93x/wish/2298830591 https://padlet.com/awhalen5/y4pbtqn1l67na93x/wish/2298830632 I do not trust the narrorator in the story. This is because in the story, the character clearly has a mental ilness. This is because he kills an inncoent man, who he claims he loves, with little to no remorse. He is also unfazed by dismembering and burying the body.]]> 2022-09-15 18:45:32 UTC https://padlet.com/awhalen5/y4pbtqn1l67na93x/wish/2298830632 28tnguyen1 https://padlet.com/awhalen5/y4pbtqn1l67na93x/wish/2298830779 I dont trust him at all because he has a mental illness and wants to kill someone. Murdering is not really something to support so I woudnt trust the narrator because of how crazy he is.]]> 2022-09-15 18:45:39 UTC https://padlet.com/awhalen5/y4pbtqn1l67na93x/wish/2298830779 https://padlet.com/awhalen5/y4pbtqn1l67na93x/wish/2298845951 I don't really trust the narrator. He is a madman so might not be sane. He tries to defend his actions. He waited several nights to kill an eye, and he stalked the poor old man.]]> 2022-09-15 18:57:53 UTC https://padlet.com/awhalen5/y4pbtqn1l67na93x/wish/2298845951 https://padlet.com/awhalen5/y4pbtqn1l67na93x/wish/2298846765 I don't really trust the narrator because he is a madman and seems to have some kind of illness. He killed the old man just because of his "vulture eye". Since we were reading it from his point of view, we don't know if he changed the story to justify his actions. Also, he had a kind of panic attack at the end of the story. This doesn't change the way I understand the story much though.]]> 2022-09-15 18:58:34 UTC https://padlet.com/awhalen5/y4pbtqn1l67na93x/wish/2298846765 https://padlet.com/awhalen5/y4pbtqn1l67na93x/wish/2298872043 I do not trust the narrator of the story at all. He keeps ranting and raving about things that he has done. He also attempts to justify every single action he has taken when he planned to kill the Old Man. However, nothing justifies killing a living person. This affects the way I read and comprehend the story because my perception is in pity of the Old Man. I do not understand why having a blue eye would make the Mad Man kill him, and this story just makes me resent him rather than favor him as the protagonist, as he is trying to make himself look like. ]]> 2022-09-15 19:20:41 UTC https://padlet.com/awhalen5/y4pbtqn1l67na93x/wish/2298872043 28exu https://padlet.com/awhalen5/y4pbtqn1l67na93x/wish/2299041118 I do not trust the narrator, because he constantly is trying to justify his terrible actions. He also tries to paint the old man's "vulture" eye in a bad light. Furthermore, he is a madman and has a mental illness, so he may not have all the facts right.]]> 2022-09-15 22:26:37 UTC https://padlet.com/awhalen5/y4pbtqn1l67na93x/wish/2299041118 https://padlet.com/awhalen5/y4pbtqn1l67na93x/wish/2299056824 I do not trust the narrator of the story at all because he is mentally ill and cannot think straight. Second of all, the madman is bioust towards himself, trying to make himself look good by killing the old man. This is why I do not believe the narrator.]]> 2022-09-15 22:53:53 UTC https://padlet.com/awhalen5/y4pbtqn1l67na93x/wish/2299056824 https://padlet.com/awhalen5/y4pbtqn1l67na93x/wish/2299087990 I don't trust the narrator because the narrator is talking from a first-person view, which can affect the original story with his opinion. Also, he is a madman. He cannot tell the truth. In addition, mental illness can make one always justify him/herself and think he/she is always right, which cannot be true. This narrator can make me only from his view and make readers think what he is thinking and believe in his opinion. This cannot show the truth and the whole story.]]> 2022-09-15 23:41:07 UTC https://padlet.com/awhalen5/y4pbtqn1l67na93x/wish/2299087990 https://padlet.com/awhalen5/y4pbtqn1l67na93x/wish/2299102697 I do not trust him that much-he uses mysterious and spooky words and has a "I'm not a madman" attitude despite many parts which he did act like a madman. He also murders a old man just because the old man had an "evil eye", which is obviously unjustified. The narrator is mentally ill, after killing the old man he hides the evidence, later police comes and the narrator has a panic attack that leads him into admitting that he murdered the old man. It may be one of my subconcious biases (i can't trust him he is mentally ill) but his actions make me to suspect him. If affects the way I read this story because my understanding is that a madman killed an innocent old man for no good reason, which is subjective.]]> 2022-09-16 00:00:19 UTC https://padlet.com/awhalen5/y4pbtqn1l67na93x/wish/2299102697 https://padlet.com/awhalen5/y4pbtqn1l67na93x/wish/2299239645 I don't trust the narrator much because he is a madman and isn't very observant in the world due to his mental/physiological illness, so he could be exaggerating or even making up a lot of the things he describes. This affects the way I read the story because if some things he said may be exaggerated or made up. For example, the "vulture eye" clearly isn't that much of a disturbance to someone, so much that they want to kill the man. Also, in the end, the madman "hears" the old man's heart beating but it was really his own.]]> 2022-09-16 01:55:35 UTC https://padlet.com/awhalen5/y4pbtqn1l67na93x/wish/2299239645 https://padlet.com/awhalen5/y4pbtqn1l67na93x/wish/2299367584 I do not trust the narrator that much because he is the one that it being talked about. I think that he might write about himself in a way thqat makes him look better or he will have a baised opinion. This affects the way I read and understand the book because I know he has mental illness. I won't be able to trust EVERY single thing he says. It makes me more alert to spot out what I think is false or true.]]> 2022-09-16 03:41:11 UTC https://padlet.com/awhalen5/y4pbtqn1l67na93x/wish/2299367584 28imaysmith https://padlet.com/awhalen5/y4pbtqn1l67na93x/wish/2299425980 I do not trust the narrator of this story because he seems very mentally ill and kills a man just because of his "vulture eye". (Or so he says) He also attempts to justify his actions when a murder is something you can never justify. Throughout the story I wonder what the other people/perspectives in the story were, maybe there was some context to why the madman felt so strongly about the old man. (Or maybe he was just delusional) You can never really trust the madman's retelling of the events.]]> 2022-09-16 04:41:55 UTC https://padlet.com/awhalen5/y4pbtqn1l67na93x/wish/2299425980 https://padlet.com/awhalen5/y4pbtqn1l67na93x/wish/2300210476 I trust that the narrator would fully tell the story from his view, that could possibly be distorted by his mental illness. So I basically wouldn't trust the narrator to tell me anything else under any other cirucmstance. I wouldn't trust the narration to be fully unbiased. The narration did change the way I read the story. To me, it made the story feel more real and horrifying, like I was there watching the madman sneak in and eventually kill the old man. ]]> 2022-09-16 15:49:30 UTC https://padlet.com/awhalen5/y4pbtqn1l67na93x/wish/2300210476 28ezhou2 https://padlet.com/awhalen5/y4pbtqn1l67na93x/wish/2302274984 I trust our narrator to tell us the full story. He is certainly a madman and we cannot always some details in his retelling, but he gives us a general run through of the events that we can trust. We can fill in the rest on our own. It makes the story more interesting as the madman tries to defend himself over and over. It's only easier to analyze our main character because of his mental illness and the way he describes his crime. It would be much more interesting to see a story from the view of a madman than a bland, normal, and unbiased one.]]> 2022-09-19 03:45:16 UTC https://padlet.com/awhalen5/y4pbtqn1l67na93x/wish/2302274984 https://padlet.com/awhalen5/y4pbtqn1l67na93x/wish/2316457036 2022-09-27 23:29:39 UTC https://padlet.com/awhalen5/y4pbtqn1l67na93x/wish/2316457036
