The Tell-Tale Heart (Creative Classic Series)

Summary: Best short story of his
Review: (Note: This review refers to the graphic novel version by Mojo Press) What a shame this item is no longer available! This title reinvents Poe through illustration, most strikingly when the artist interprets the narrator of The Tell Tale Heart as a female servant revealing herself through dialogue, and the voice rings eerily true. Also included in this graphic novel version are favoites such as the Bells and Annabel Lee, illustrated with dark gothic flair. A must have for any gn collection, and a fine compliment to other Poe collections -- but good luck finding it!

Summary: The Tell Tale Heart is more than a simple story of murder.
Review: Edgar Allan Poe knows how bring the reader completly into the story. In the Tell Tale Heart the narrator, a mad man, kills a old man because of he hates the old man's eyes. But it's not only the story of a murder, it's a story of the man's madness. We see the scenes through his eyes. We realize how he is mad and we sink with him in his mistakes. It's his madness which makes him hear the old man's heart. But this noise wouldn't be the reflection of his conscience? Edgar Allan Poe explores the depth and the incomprehensibility of the human mind in a strange story of murder and madness.

Summary: A bad ending
Review: I don't like this story so much. This story showed me about a crazy man. He killed the old man because he didn't like his herrible eye,is it a reason? When the policesman came to his house, first he told them it was all right. Later,he looked strange,and he changed his mind. He let the policeman to find the old man's corpse,he made the old man to sevaral parts. Oh! There were something wrong with his head, that was true,he was crazy. So the policeman shouldn't put him to death, they aould send him to a doctor. What about the old man? Did he do something wrong? He died like that? I don't like the ending of the story,and I don't think it's enteresting. That's my feeling.

Summary: "The Purloined Letter" by- Edgar Alan Poe
Review: I thought that this short story was very confusing. Being the age of only 14, I had to read this short story for a book report. I had some difficulty understanding what it meant and how it all added up in the end. I think that this is one of Edgar Alan Poe's horrible short stories. The story had many words that were hard to understand and it didn't make sense at the end. I reccommend this story to older teenagers and adults. It is to complicated for young teenagers.

Summary: The Tell Tale Heart
Review: The Tell Tale Heart, as many of Poe's stories, takes us on a trip through the extremities of the narrator's mind. This un-named and unexplored narrator has obsession with an old man's eye. He see's the eye as different from his other and calls it evil. His excessive compulsive disorder takes him to the old man's apartment every night at midnight and very slowly and carfully looks in to see the eye, when he doesn't see it, he goes away as slowly and as carefully as he came. He does this until one night the old man is up and hears the creepy narrator coming to his house unaware of who it is. He is shaking with fear his heart pounding, and then the narrator shines the light on the wide open evil eye. The mad-man kills the poor old man and does unmentionable things to his corpse. This is not the end of the story. Finally, the police come and start to question the narrator. To convince them, the mad-man invites them to stay for tea after they find him innocent. The narrator starts going more insane and hears his own heart beating, but thinks its the dead old man. He finally fesses up to the crime, and is sentenced to death.

Summary: The Tell Tale Heart
Review: The Tell Tale of Heart by Edgar Allen Poe wrote about a mad man who killed someone, Eventually tells on himself. This man is known to be crazy. Every night he goes in a room and watches the man with the evil eye. Until one night he decides to kill him. The mad man thinks the evil eye is after him. This book would be of interest to middle school level to adults. I loved his vivid details and use of vocabulary. This story is one of many stories I loved of Edgar Allen Poe. His twisted mind makes many of his works enjoyable. I recommend this book to many people.
