    "The Tale-Tell Heart

    The behavior of the narrator in The Tell-Tale Heart demonstrates characteristic's that are affiliated with people with obsessive-compulsive disorder and paranoid schizophrenia. When Poe wrote this story in 1843 obsessive-compulsive disorder and paranoia had not been discovered. However in modern times the characteristics demonstrated by the narrator leads people to believe that he has a mental illness. Poe's narrator demonstrates classic signs throughout the story leading the reader to believe that this character is mad. Most psychiatrists believe that when a person suffers from paranoia they most likely have paranoid schizophrenia. Frederick Frese is a chief psychologist at Ohio mental hospital, Paranoid schizophrenia is defined as " excessive concern about one's own well being, sometimes suggesting the person holds persecutory beliefs concerning a threat to themselves or their property." Some characteristics are "confusion; indecision; nervousness, suicidal and homicidal thoughts. People with paranoia tend to believe that they have super sensitive hearing. They hear inanimate object taking to them or voices that don't exist "Many People with schizophrenia go through periods of getting better and worse. They have remission and relapse. They can go for long periods of time without any symptoms."(Frese 13) In the case of Poe's narrator, he showed symptom of paranoia. He believed that the old room mate's eye was evil." One of his eyes resembled that of a vulture- a pale blue eye, with a film over it."(Poe 117) The narrator comments that he liked the old man but didn't like his eye. The narrator justifies the murder by believing that the old man will vex him. The irony here is that the old man is murdered because he is considered a madman by one who is himself insane. The narrator believes that by killing the old man he can get rid of the curse that the eye…

    Is There Compassion in the Air

    Compassion. Hidden agenda. The difference. City dweller Barbara Lazear Ascher, in her essay “On Compassion,” recalls in her own words, “a couple of brief encounters with homeless people”. While maintaining a critical tone, Ascher utilizes an anecdote, a personal experience, and appeals to her audience’s ethical values as strategies to fulfill her purpose. Ascher effectively achieves her purpose to convince her audience, people inhabiting cities, there is a lack of compassion when concerning the homeless.…

    The Heart

    Cardiac muscle is essentially limited to the heart, though it extends slightly into the nearby blood vessels. It too, is striated, but it differs from skeletal muscle. As far as the features, the cells are much shorter, so they are called myocytes rather than fibers. Cardiac muscle is considered involuntary because it is not usually under conscious control; it contracts even if all nerve connections to it are severed.…

    Linh explains he control the Malaysian authorities exert on the refugees when they arrive at Jangaroon. Linh has sympathy for the Malaysian government in wanting to ‘stop us…taking us permanent residence, ‘and understands that fear motivates their control.

    The Tell-Tale Heart

    Our versions of reality are disrupted in “The Tell-Tale Heart” as we might identify with it in many ways we do not acknowledge. Something flickers our inquisitiveness and compels us to follow the narrator through the disturbing labyrinth of his mind. The reader is also able to further question the narrator’s actions in a psychological aspect and possibly see the collapse of the human mind and how paranoia and insanity work in close cooperation.…

    A Brother's Love

    When you compare Louis Erdrich’s story “The Red Convertible” and James Baldwin’s story “Sonny’s Blues”, they seem like completely different stories. “The Red Convertible” is about two brothers, Lyman and Henry, who grow up on a Native American reservation in North Dakota. The two brothers share a strong bond that is personified through their love for a certain red car that they share. They go through an amazing journey and discover a lot about each other. On the other hand, “Sonny’s Blues” is also about two brothers, however their journey goes a completely different route than Lyman and Henry’s. In “Sonny’s Blues”, the narrator and his little brother, Sonny, start out as distant and forgotten family members. Through Sonny’s love for music, and his older brother’s gradual acceptance, the two grow a stronger bond than ever before. Although the two are indeed about different topics, there are some parallels to recognize as well.…

    The Door You Willing to Shut

    Stephen King provides us with his own vocabulary as well as methods for isolating one’s mind and unlocking it to its utmost potential. His blueprint for writing involves isolation from mundane life, from thinking too rationally or dogmatically in order to get in touch with our creative side. Using the terms “the room”, “the door” and “the determination to shut the door” he maps out an environment, which helps him concentrate on his writing. Stephen points out that usually we need to find a comfortable place to write (in his case-his home). The next step is to get rid of all distractions (the shutting of the door) and then to set a certain goal, as well as to make sure that it is quite attainable. King believes, based on his own experience that the hardest part about writing is just to begin the task, writing “one word at a time”; once it starts its not overly difficult to maintain the flow of ideas and their transfer on paper.…

    The Tell-Tale Heart

    This selection is especially important to the character of the narrator. The narrator’s psychology is, perhaps, the most important of all character elements, and is shown in this quote. The narrator openly admits to having no legitimate reasoning behind his actions and feelings towards the old man, yet he suggests that, “I think it was his eye!” justifies his actions. Psychological traits contain a number of aspects that make up a whole person; among these traits are thoughts, feelings, and habits. These traits are what dictate the decisions the character will make…

    The Tell Tale Heart

    A widely acclaimed author named Edgar Allan Poe is known for his bizarre stories on murderers, madmen and mysterious women. In his short story, “The Tell Tale Heart”, the narrator leads us through his thoughts on himself and the actions he took on the old man. The narrator cunningly devised a plan to kill an old man because of his vulture-looking eye. For him, the eye was very disturbing and he decided to forever get rid of it. He doesn’t even find himself mad for doing so. Isn’t it funny how the insane never admit to them being crazy? “The Tell Tale Heart” shows us a fine example of how insane people view themselves and what we think of them as. Thus, this essay will elaborate on the differences between the narrator’s perception of himself and the reader’s perception of him.…

    The Tell Tale Heart

    Edgar Allan Poe, whose personal torment so powerfully informed his visionary prose and poetry, is a towering figure in the history of American literature. A Virginia gentleman and the son of itinerant actors, the heir to great fortune and a disinherited outcast, a university man who had failed to graduate, a soldier brought out of the army, a husband with an unapproachable child-bride, a brilliant editor and low salaried hack, a world renowned but impoverish author, a temperate man and uncontrollable alcoholic, a materialist who yearned for a final union with God. His fevered imagination brought him to great heights of creativity and the depths of paranoiac despair. Yet although he produced a relatively small volume of work, he virtually invented the horror and detective genres and his literary legacy endures to this day.…
