Hello! I would say the narrator is insane because he can still hear the old man’s heart thumping from underneath the floorboards even after he killed him. His guilt gets the better of him and he turns himself in to the cops. I don’t have any evidence sense I don’t have the story on me, but use something from the story along the lines where he “hears” the thumping of his heart as evidence.

Religious beliefs can often stand in the way of what leaders really need to do. For example, say a president is a Christian, Buddhist, etc., what their god/gods may tell the to do don't always line up with what the smartest decision is.

This question is a very open one and i'm not sure what exactly you need to know but you'll need to do a lot of planning. Generally you need to develop an idea of the setting, plot line, characters and the overall meaning or topic of the story. It really helps if you know how you want the story to end so you can create plot twists and use foreshadowing to hint at future events. Most importantly you need creativity and inspiration, write something you think you would read if you were looking for something to enjoy.
