My grandfather, who lost his short-term memory sometime during the first Eisenhower Administration, calls me into his study beca

use he wants to tell me the story he’s never told anybody before again. . . . My grandfather slams the door and motions me to the chair in front of his desk. I’ll be thirteen in two weeks. “There’s something I want to tell you, son,” he says. “Something I’ve never told anybody. You think you’re ready? You think you’ve got the gumption?” “I think so.” “Think so?” “I know so, sir. I know I’ve got the gumption.” . . . “It was late,” he says. “Someone knocked on my stateroom door. I leaped up. In those days I slept in uniform—shoes, too.” My grandfather smiles. His face is so perfectly round that his smile looks like a gash in a basketball. I smile back. “Don’t smile,” he says. “Just because I’m smiling, don’t assume I couldn’t kill you right now. Know that about a man.” Source: Orner, Peter. “The Raft.” The Atlantic Online. The Atlantic Monthly Company, Apr. 2000. Web. 10 May 2011. Which point of view does the text use? third-person limited third-person omniscient second-person first-person

What sound does the narrator hear at the end of the story that causes him to confess to the murder? Provide evidence to support
son4ous [18]

The horrible sound that the narrator hears is actually his own heartbeat, which grows louder, stronger, and quicker as the narrator becomes more thrilled. This explains why, as his adrenaline began to flow moments before murdering, he could hear his own heart yet mistook it for the elderly man's.

It is to be noted that the above story is culled from Tell-Tale Heart.

<h3>What is Tell-Tale Heart about?</h3>

Edgar Allan Poe's short story "The Tell - Tale Heart" is written in the horror genre.

It depicts murdering someone and then confessing to the police because of a bad conscience.

The purpose of this thesis is to extensively evaluate the narrative, covering its topics as well as literary and rhetorical strategies.

Ela 4.1.5 Quiz: Word Choice
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

I believe its C because the author stated that the governor was ir·re·spon·si·ble, the definition for  ir·re·spon·si·ble is  not showing a proper sense of responsibility.

andre [41]
