Read the excerpt from "The Tell-Tale Heart" below. Using complete sentences, describe how Edgar Allan Poe begins to establish a

mood of terror that will continue throughout the story. In your response, use phrases and words from the excerpt to support your opinion.
I could scarcely contain my feelings of triumph. To think that there I was, opening the door, little by little, and he not even to dream of my secret deeds or thoughts. I fairly chuckled at the idea; and perhaps he heard me; for he moved on the bed suddenly, as if startled. Now you may think that I drew back—but no. 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, steadily.

Answer:

Edgar Allan Poe establishes a mood of terror in this excerpt. The line where I would say a mood of terror was established is “ I fairly chuckled at the idea; and perhaps he heard me; for he moved on the bed suddenly, as if startled.” The reason why I say this is because as the reader when I was reading the excerpt and I read the quoted line I immediately started to feel tension , especially the “as if startled.” part . How the line that I quoted will continue to establish a mood of terror that will continue throughout the excerpt is ; due to the line ”I fairly chuckled at the idea; and perhaps he heard me; for he moved on the bed suddenly, as if startled”. I say this because it establishes the fear for the rest of the story .

Exercise 2 Correct each personal pronoun in italics so it agrees with its antecedent in the sentence. Cross out the incorrect pr
Finger [1]

This tree has not yet shed <em>its </em>leaves.

Pronouns are phrases that take the area of nouns. Phrases like he, she, they, it, their, absolutely everyone, the entirety are pronouns. Antecedents are the words that pronouns take the vicinity of. The prefix ante- way “before”—we want to realize the noun earlier than we update it with a pronoun.

Antecedents and next pronouns which take the location of a noun make certain that the equal phrases or phrases do not repeat time and again in a sentence. There are a few policies that will help you successfully use antecedents that pair with pronouns:

1. Antecedents come before the pronoun.

2. Antecedents fit the pronoun’s quantity.

3. Treat compound antecedents as plural.
