Well The Tell-Tale Heart was a scary,sad, and to me a terrible story. But I think he did the killing a little smother than I thought. Edgar was scared when he saw the old men's eye. Edgar was slick at doing his job he did it and got it over with. Edgar was frightened when the police officers came to the door looking around.
Basically the officers were making fun of Edgar, but he didn't know. Good thing was that he didn't get to scared and tell them he killed the old men. In my summary I'll say Edgar really didn't have know reason to kill the old men.
Alone By:Edgar Allan Poe Was saying that Poe wasn't like other kids. Poe couldn't believe what was going on in his life. He lost his loved ones of tuberculosis. Everyone he loved like his mother,first wife, and his foster mother had all died of tuberculosis. The tuberculosis killed his loved ones at a very young age.
