Answer:

B. Fear can shape how we see things and how we act.

Explanation:

The short story "The Tell-Tale Heart" by Edgar Allen Poe revolves around the narrator trying to convince the readers of his sanity by narrating how and why he murdered the old man.

The narrator began to reveal why the hate for the man's blue eye led to his gruesome act of murder. He also reveals he could hear the old man's heartbeat on the eighth night that he decided to act swiftly in the killing. He mentioned how the old man comforted himself by attributing the fear in his heart to be the noise made by the wind, mouse, or even cricket. The narrator/ murderer also revealed how his own fear led to the swift action of killing the old man,<em> "I made up my mind to take the life of the old man, and thus rid myself of the eye forever." </em>

Thus, the correct answer is option B.

Answer:

Suddenly i woke up from my dream and i didnt know exactly where i was. I could see kids in the distance but i have no idea who they are. For some reason all i an remeber was that i was in my bed sleeping. How did i wind up here? Suddently I remember who those kids were. They are my cousins tomy, jack, brian, and david. But how did i end up all the way over here? oh  right i was feeling dizzy and collapsed but how come no one came to check up on me? do u really not matter to anyone? Nah that cant be it, they must have not seen me fall, but how long have i been out for?  As i checked my watch i saw it was already 5 pm !! Last time i had checked it was 2 pm. Do they really not care about me? Suddently i woke up again, this time in my bed. I looked around and even pinched myself to assure myself this time i was awake. Its barley 4am. Surprisingly it was all a dream, i dont even have cousins with those names !! What a dream, it felt so real but guess it wasnt.  Well now i need to get ready for school. What a boring thing that is. School has so many rules that u need to follow. I just wish i could sleep forever.
