In turn, this leads to an awakening or unveiling. Through examining intertextual form and narrative voice, this essay will explore how silences, secrets and mysteries lead the protagonists to epiphanies about themselves and their places in the construction of their communities. Silences arise when there is something unspoken yet they do not exclude information being implied or otherwise non-verbally transmitted.

The Tell-Tale Heart Assignment: We notice that some details in Poe’s “The Tell-Tale Heart” make a literal reading of the story rather difficult. Advance and defend a figurative reading of the story consistent with the story’s details. Poe seems to focus on creating mood throughout his story. Many symbols in this story are interpreted in several different ways depending on the reader. These symbols throughout the story include the old mans eye, the heartbeat and the contradiction between love and hate in which I will be talking about in this paper.

What Makes poetry works better than a short story is the repetitive or the shortened way word are written or placed together to form a rhythm or a song.
