Answer: The sound of the beating heart emphasizes the madness of the narrator in “The Tell-Tale Heart,” while the sound of the crying cat in “The Black Cat” does not.

In "The Tell-Tale Heart," the narrator hears the beating of the heart that he removed from the old man and hid under his floor. This sound is constant, and it is clear that it is illogical. Therefore, the sound is a way in which Poe emphasizes the insanity of the narrator. On the other hand, the sound of the crying cat in "The Black Cat" is something that could be possible. Moreover, it is not one of the main signs in the story that imply the narrator is insane.

How does the use of imagery and figurative language affect the poem?the cremation of sam mcgee
boyakko [2]

I’ve never read the book but if you have this may help. Figurative language and the use of imagery makes the book come alive. It allows the reader to visualize the authors story as if it were a picture or movie. Imagery is using the 5 senses (taste ,touch ,hear ,smell , & sight) to give the audience a vivid picture of the story they are reading.

allochka39001 [22]

He isn't really commented on as an exceptional person but, " There is an understandable tendency to look upon Professor Barnhouse  as {a supernatural visitation}, and " The first Church of Barnhouse in Los Angeles has a congregation numbering in the thousands." Seems to me like good choices.
