the eye of it all

Tell Tale Heart, edgar allen poe
Pgs, 415-425

This is one of my favorites from his storys. he gets so into dept about his plan to kill this old man because his eye haunts him. He waits at his doror for a week straight and plans out how he is going to kill him and at the end he just end's up getting caught because he couldnt take the suspense anymore.what do you think he should of done to be more relaxed and get away with his crime?

Short scares

short story's, Edgar Allen Poe

My first impressions on this book was that it was a little strange. then again edgar allen poe just writes like that. He has a weird style of writing. In this book there are a whole bunch of short storys and so far i find them pretty intresting some are hard to understand but others are easy and i catch on really quick. All the story's end up having a weird ending to it but in some kind of way there actually good.

We have picked this genre because it sounded interesting and different. It is called classical for a reason so it must be good. Plus it has stuck around for a while and if it lasted that long it must mean something. We hope by reading this that we will learn more about this genre.

The bleeding hearts of Oprah's show?  What do you mean by that?  Man, you're tough.  Anyway, I enjoy reading your responses.  I've never read the book, but I thought you might come away with it with a more sympathetic view of the main character.  Obviously not, huh.  Nice job overall.

Nice job meeting the requirement, but your responses are a tad short, and I'd like to see some further development next time.  The last response was mostly plot summary, and the one before that begs more explanation.

Love your exploration of Morrie's lessons, especially the last one.  You're right, and so is Morrie.  People tend to over romanticize their pasts and often miss the present as it whizzes by.  We have to live more in the moment.  Nice job.

Louigi, don't make me move you back to 5th period, lol.  You've got to pull it together, man.  I need to see a more consistent effort.

Michael, you have now shown up on my radar.  I need you to complete all your work, and I am now going to be on you like wax on a school floor after a week's vacation.  Your responses are good, but there aren't enough of them.  Get it together.
